Chapter 66

• Leonardo White had never in his entire life felt so ashamed to be seen as he did at that moment.
• He had been discharged from that hospital, his resistances, his attempts to get out of bed and go for Emma -wherever she was- had caused his stay in the hospital to be extended for two weeks longer than usual, which made a total of almost a month without Emma, without seeing her, without hearing her, without feeling her; the desperation could be seen in his eyes, reflected in each of his gestures. He had controlled a little his nervous impulses and intrusive thoughts, that did not mean that when he was completely healed, he would not go to look for her, wherever she was, no woman had ever left his side in that way and he would not allow Emma, the only one he had ever felt anything for, to leave forever; he could find her, he did not know precisely where, but he could find her, or at least... he hoped so.
• Leonardo took one more look at the mirror, feeling pathetic. ‘It's nothing serious, you won't be paralyzed forever, but when you had the accident, your legs were badly injured, crushed against the other car, you are lucky to be able to keep them, we have calculated that two months of therapy, will help you heal them, you won't use wheelchairs for a long time’, he remembered the words of that stupid doctor, whom more than once he wanted to punch between the face. ‘I need to heal soon, I need to get my wife,’ he had replied, hinting to him if there wasn't some way to hurry the process. ‘There is no way we can rush the therapy, in fact, it normally lasts ninety days, but since your father asked for a rather expensive therapy, you will be able to heal in two months, or a month and a half... I'm sure your wife can wait...’
