Chapter 48

• The taxi we hired drove very swiftly towards our destination. The morning traffic was not much so we arrived at the entrance of the hospital without any delay, Mathias paid the driver and I had a cause to bless him, as I was actually in a trance and did not even think of taking out change and giving it to the driver. My whole equilibrium had shattered after hearing Tio's news and I could hardly think about anything.
• We entered the reception area and we were directed towards the ward on the second floor. There was still no sign of Don, as I began to hope that he should not be there as I wanted to finish the task related to him later. I did us to be in an awkward situation as Mathias was also here with me.
• The nurse who met us outside Tio’s ward confirmed Don’s departure a while ago. He left a message asking me to contact him at home as soon as possible as his mother was not keeping well and he had to rush back home. I know, I was being selfish but right now my state of mind couldn’t think properly.
