Like I said earlier, he needs plenty of rest to get him on his feet soon enough".Relief swept through Sarah as she muttered a thank you to the doctor, she sank into a chair behind her and was glad that it did not end fatally, now all she had to do was wait on Jake before taking any necessary steps, she was thinking if she could go back to the hotel where she was before to change, but was contemplating leaving Jake to himself in the hospital, th

Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head.

Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”.
