Chapter 36 Child Called Nelly

• Alex’s POV
• I got to work a few minutes past seven, I was on night duty and hustling to be on time, I overslept. The traffic had been bad while returning home that morning and it rendered me bone tired, I had even slept with my coffee stained shirt not minding the unpleasant discomfort it caused me.
• In just one week, I had allowed work to become my solace, a solace amidst people I didn’t really care about. It was not about the people, it was a coping mechanism for me. Investing my life in the wellbeing of another, at least it was better than tailing the love of my life.
