CHAPTER 32

　　Kara

　　I left the hospital after Derek left. The doctors didn't discharge me, but I didn't care. What was happening to me had nothing to do with medicine. Doctors could never cure me of my condition.

　　I went home, hoping to find Derek there, but when I arrived, he wasn't. I searched the drawers and couldn't find his clothes. Derek never moved in with me, but he had left some clothes in my room. If the clothes weren't there, it meant that Derek wasn't lying when he said we were through. He left me for Stefan.

　　My hopes were dashed. I had nothing left. I didn't know where I would find the strength to move forward with my children.

　　Hours passed. I called Derek multiple times, but he never answered me. But when someone knocked on the door, I smiled. Derek was back!

　　I opened the door, and my smile faded. It wasn't Derek.

　　"Stefan, what are you doing here?"

　　"No, what are you doing here?" He entered my apartment.

　　I sighed.
