200 Chapter 200: Lifetime Chase

Avery wakes slowly. The nurse is gently shaking her arm. "Mrs. Howel, Mrs. Howel," the nurse whispers, "Please wake up. Your husband is here."

She blinks groggily and looks around the room, but she doesn't see Evan. Carefully, she stretches her arms and legs, but the sore muscles ache. She sits up and waits impatiently, but Evan doesn't enter the room. "Well, where is he?" she asks the nurse.

The nurse looks down at her shoes. "Mr. Howel is in the emergency room," the nurse says.

Avery freezes. "The emergency room?"

"Mr. Howel has been in an accident," the nurse says.

Avery jumps to her feet, ignoring the pain in her body and runs out of the room barefoot. She barely notices the feel of the cold linoleum on her feet. The hall is too bright, and everything seems to be spinning. She stumbles into the emergency room and grabs Robert by the shoulders.
