Chapter 8
Four years later, I was once again in a hospital room, staring at a sleeping Nevo. But in that moment, neither of us were the naive students we once were.
I held his hand, my eyes brimming with tears. “Nevo, you should have told me who you were long ago. You must have known who I was. But why didn’t you tell me?”

Hot tears dripped down one by one, and I choked on my words. “Is this how you repay me? Hey, I saved your life back then. Now, wake up, and I’m waiting for you to repay me, piece by piece.”

I sighed. “This is Fred’s retribution.”
“Luna, please, get some rest. Once Mr. Mills wakes up, I’ll call you.”
I shook my head. “No, Tamia. This time, I don’t want to miss the moment he wakes
up.”
Four years ago, I left a note and missed my chance to say goodbye to him. For a whole four years, he searched for me, and only now, we were reunited.
This time, I wanted to stay by his side, to witness him wake up with my own eyes, to wait for him to unveil the truth.
