Chapter 99 Ninety-nine

• Lily rubbed her tired eyes as she made her way out of the male surgical ward very early on Monday. She'd a long exhausting shift. The early morning sun was just peeking through the clouds.
• As she walked out of the ward’s main doors, she couldn't help but think about the long day ahead. She needed to go grocery shopping, do some laundry, and catch up on some much-needed sleep. And have lunch with Becky, after which they would go to the wedding planner's office for the last meeting before the wedding. However, she wasn't expected to be back at the hospital until Tuesday for the afternoon shift.
• She quickly walked to her car. She was wearing her seatbelt when her phone rang. She reached over to the passenger’s seat where her bag was to bring out her phone. It was Ludolf, her ex-husband calling. She scrolled up her face and picked up the call.
