Chapter 8

The next few days were calm, and I received the signed divorce papers from Serenity.

This was the only good news I'd had in a while.

My pain was becoming more frequent, and I'd long since run out of painkillers.

On this particular day off, I arrived at the hospital early to get my number and wait to be called.

Just as I reached the department's entrance, Liam suddenly rushed out from nowhere.

He had dark circles under his eyes, and his chin was covered in stubble. He looked nothing like his once confident self.

He fell to his knees in front of me, pleading loudly.

"Please, Nash, give her back to me. Please, give her back."

"Serenity and I grew up together. She's never ignored me like this before. I can't find her anywhere."

"I'm begging you, give her back to me. I promise I'll never bother you again."

It was just when the hospital had opened, and the department entrance was full of people coming for appointments.

Liam's commotion quickly drew a large crowd of onlookers.
