Chapter 130

• CHAPTER 130 SECOND PART, A BEAUTIFUL REUNION
• As I reached the hospital door, a chill ran through me from head to toe. I took a deep breath and crossed the threshold, anxiety gripping me. I was so close to finally speaking to my wife.

Each step toward the elevator seemed to stretch on forever, the air around me thick, as if the entire world had paused for an instant before the reunion.
• I was about to see her. After so long, after so much uncertainty, she would be right in front of me. Nausea gripped me, and for a moment, I thought I might faint.
