Chapter 28

Harry's pov

I alighted from my car, finally going to see Anna who claims to be my wife. It still sounds funny to me that Anna was playing her tricks again. I just had to see her since Carol had convinced me repeatedly that I had nothing to lose if I see her. So here I am.

I get weird glances from the nurses and some patients who walked past me.

"That's Harry Grey. His wife died recently. What a pity." Some murmured as I entered the hospital but I paid no attention it else, I'd break. Just thinking about it, makes me feel uneasy and restless. If we could just go back into time but we can't. It's all fiction.

I begin to feel restless as I get closer to Anna's ward. I felt I should have seen her a long time ago but I'm just resisting. Why does it still feel like El is still alive? What if she was telling the truth? I think I'm just letting her get to me. El's gone. I enter her room, seeing her lay on the bed getting medication. I was set ablaze when the nurse moved away, making me see her big stomach. Oh my God. She's pregnant?

"Oh, Harry," She looked extremely surprised to see me. I never told her I was coming.

"You came." She watched her steps, walking closer to me, giving me a warm hug. I wished she wouldn't let go. She looked.....just like her. I felt like holding her tight like it was my last time.

"You're pregnant," I say, still surprised and confused. El was never pregnant so why would she claim she was Elena.

"This was one of the reasons why I have been wanting to see you, Harry."

"I don't understand."

"Can I just hug you one more time?" She pleads.

"Okay."

She embraced me, planting a light kiss on my forehead.

"I've missed you a lot, Harry. It's been hell here."

"Anna, Elena. I'm confused. If you are my El, how come you're here?"

"The day we planned on meeting, the hospital called that Anna was in a bad state but it was planned. Anna faked it. She drugged me and escaped out of here, acting like she was me so no one would suspect her disappearance. I planned for us to meet so I could secretly tell you this." She pointed to her stomach and continued.

"I was pregnant before we had divorced, Harry. You're the father."

"I don't know if I should believe all this. It all sounds true. Anna could go through any length to escape. I...."

"I'm so disappointed in you, Harry." Elena's mom barged in angrily, hitting me on the face. I was surprised and lost as I saw her in front of me.

"You want to replace my daughter over this? You disgust me, Harry."

"Mom....It's." She tried speaking but El's mom, Jade interjected.

"If you say one more word there, Anna, trust me, you'd go through hell. Haven't you cause enough pain? Now, you want to take her place? Harry, can't you even see what she's trying to do? She's taking advantage and you're falling blindly into it. I can't even stand and look at her. She can never be my daughter, NEVER." She walked out of the room, feeling disgusted by Ana's presence.

"Harry," She called in tears but I wasn't going to fall for her tricks any longer. Mother was right. She was taking advantage of the situation.

"You can never be my El, Anna. You're nothing but a fake. Don't ever call me again." I walked out of the room, wishing I was never here.
