50

I waited until Dr. Vergara came back. Her eyes flew wide as she saw me holding a record of another patient.

“Miss Yen, this is not allowed. All records must be confidential,” she explained politely, even though her voice didn’t conceal her being upset with me.

“I understand, doc, but he is my husband. So, if you tell me everything, that would save him from my lifetime hatred.”

The doctor sighed, but she began telling me a little about Zed.

“He’s been with me for a couple of months already. However, I believe that the reason he’s not improving yet is because of the secrets he hides from you. If you want to know more, talk to him.”

I hurried out of the doctor’s clinic. And for the first time in 6 months, I stepped into the place that created my best memories with Zed. The grass had grown tall, and dried leaves filled the lawn. But it looked like no one was living here anymore.
