CHAPTER 69 The Recovery

  Elsie's POV

  I felt drowsy as my eyes adjusted to the amount of light that evaded it. It was painful as I tried to keep them open.

  As I turned to my side, I felt a strong body lying close to me, the feel was a familiar statue. My hands roamed over the body, slowly, casually, and steadily.

  Albie.

  I ran my fingers over his arm as they encircled my abdominal area, I held it strong as I felt the strength that lay in them.

  Turning to face him, I ran my fingers to his face, it was so tensed even as he slept. I drew an imaginary line from his forehead to his nose and down to his chin.

  I now extended it to his jawline, it was firm and sharp, I recalled hearing him calling out my name. Vaguely. When or where? I had no idea.

  The only thing I thought of when the car stopped and another man entered the car was how Albie was right. Fear gripped me when the strange man spoke and I recognized it as the one that called me that day.
