813 As a friend or a loyal subordinate

Visiting his cousin was heartwrenching. Seeing him in agony was not easy, knowing how much he cared about his physical well-being and how cautious and responsible he always was as a driver. 

It was unfair that he should suffer this way, but Alex was still thankful that he was at least alive and on his way to recovery. Soon, he would be back on his feet, but he doubted he would ever be the same.

More than the physical pain, he found his cousin tortured mentally and emotionally because a woman he loved had left him, watching Lance push himself to his limit to walk again.

Alex had that experience before, and it was not easy to recover from such pain. But Lance's situation was far worse than his since the woman he loved left without even saying goodbye, no explanation, but a truckload of questions.
