Chapter 28 I\'m Home

Paige’s POV

My jaw almost dropped as I stared at Alex. “What? What do you mean sick? How sick? I mean, what kind of sickness? Is it cold? Does he have a fever? What happened?”

He shook his head. Tears are visible in the corner of his eyes, making me so nervous. What is this? I thought our bad luck had ended? I thought…

“I-I don’t know how it happened, Paige. He’s… He’s HIV positive and it’s in stage 3 already. Achi called after he found out about Ares’ sickness this morning. Paige… Paige, my brother…”

I felt my knees weakening. This can’t be. I’m certain he got it when he saved Aunt Precy’s house. He sacrificed himself. Oh God! I can’t lose another important person. I can’t… We can’t lose Ares.

“Paige, how did it happen? I’m so confused as fck. How did he get infected?”
