Chapter 52

After I left the lawyer's office, I walked thoughtfully down the street. Absently going into the small coffee house I ordered a sandwich and a Cup of rather tasteless tea. By the time I had consumed my snack and began to walk back towards the hospital, I was still confused as I was looking for a solution to my problems but found none.
I know that if I took Marc to the court it would be unforgivable and yet I knew I would never face the alternative solution of seeing Tio only occasionally, perhaps never. I was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the only way out of the difficulty was to disappear out of Marc's life for good . How I will accomplish what I was thinking was a big question.
I sighed bitterly as I reflected that with a more reasonable man it would have been sufficient to have discussed out the facts and the lawyer would have put them to her. But as the lawyer had summarized Marc was a very determined man and he would fight every step of the way whatever it cost to him.
