“No need. Hunter needs you more than me. I have Penelope to keep mepany and be my support. ire announced <b>as </b>she looked straight at the empty corridor.
She didn’t d

“Even in the two years that we were together, he woulde to check on me if I ever had <b>an </b>ident at home while working in the kitchen. But yesterday, I fell right in front of him and he didn’t <b>budge</b>. She thought with <b>a </b>saddened smile.
Why would he think about his wife who is merely weak <b>for </b>not eating food? His lover is <b>more </b>important. And she’s been gang raped so Suddenly ire stopped and blinked her eyes.
No matter her condition, what happened with Zara was rather pitiful. She had a desire to check on her. She looked outside the window at the bright sky, hoping that by <b>now </b>Zara’s surgery may have beenpleted. And that she might have been shifted to a ward for rest.
