After being satisfied with what she had done, she took a bath and wore her beloved dress which she knew Kent loved. She went back in the kitchen and checked on the food warmers as if someone had entered to steal the food. She sat on the dining chair while busy looking at her phone. She had texted him earlier on and he said he was in the neighbourhood but it had been thirty minutes already. Knowing Kent, he had a tendency of talking to people especially when he reached the neighbourhood. She didn’t want to call him. She told herself to be patient. They had the whole night together.With all the work Kate had done, she was very tired. She got her sweater and rested her head on the dining table and fell asleep. An hour later, she woke up to no sign of Kent in the house.“Babe!” She ca

If the swelling recedes, we will try to lighten up the coma to see if he can come back and see what his level of function is,” the doctor responded.“But according to your experience doc, how long can this take?”“It can be a day, a week or months. Let’s just have faith.”Kate despaired.“Don’t worry too much. We are doing our best,” the doctor said and excused himself.Kate went to where Ludo and her parents had sat.

Kate was by her husband’s bedside. She had cried enough and was already feeling weak. She was glad he was still alive but not knowing when he would wake up broke her heart. She didn’t have much sleep, neither did she eat anything. Zamiwe came into the room and told her that there was a policeman looking for her. She declined saying she couldn’t talk to him or anyone else seeking information at the moment. “I told you everything. Just tell him what I said. There is nothing more,” Kate said exhausted. “Are you sure?” Zamiwe asked. “Yes.” “Ok.” “Thanks Zamiwe.” Kate knew Kent’s attack was no ordinary attack. Ever since he got Ludo’s manuscript, things had changed in their lives. Even though Kent didn’t tell her much, she noticed how nervous he had been. She was determined to get to the bottom of whatever was happening, but how? That remained her big, still unanswered question. She paced around the room while looking at the unconsc
