"Leonard is sick" she repeated.

"And you let me leave" I shouted, I couldn't believe this.

"He made me promise not to tell you, he didn't want you to see him like that" she explained but at that point I couldn't find any sense in her explanation.

"Where is he?" I asked anxiously

Leonard was lying unconscious on his kind sized bed, all kinds of drips and machine connected to his body. I gathered my courage and took a step, another step and another step until I was by the side of his bed. I slowly sat beside him and held his hand in mine. All I felt was regret.

Why did I have to leave?

Why Eva?

He told me he didn't have much time left but I still decided to leave.
