Chapter forty-five
Jayde
My heart made a thunderous thud at the announcement. Divorce? But why? I thought I was supposed to do this until Hattie got back.
Or is Hattie back? Is she now, ok?
"Jayde!" Beatrice's voice jolts me out of my thought. Sadly enough, I was starting to think of how much I would miss Henry.
Gosh, I'm going to miss him so much.
"Did you hear me?"
I comport myself, "Yes, I did. But is Hattie back? Has she walked out of her unconsciousness?"
" No," she went silent for a while, " But it's not good that we are disturbing you like this. You should be free to live your life."
" But I volunteer to come back. It's not your fault anymore!" I argue softly. I didn't want it to look like I'm staying because I want to.
Mercy looks at me much longer, as if she couldn't quite believe why I'm being hesitant to do what would set me free.
