Epic 16

After a long time of waiting for Benjamin, Alex left the ward to his house. He wanted to see Benjamin, but due to the lateness of time, he couldn't wait anymore.

“Thank you”, I had said before he left. But he didn't reply, he left smiling.

“He is a nice guy”, mama said.

“yeah! He is, I can't believe after everything that happened, he isn't mad at me”, I said looking at mama who was massaging my leg gradually. I felt very dizzy and slept off.

“Is she getting better?”, mama asked the nurse.
