Chapter 40 Death's Hour

　　Damian's POV -

　　My phone came to life with a ring. I sluggishly pulled out of the bed and went over to the sofa to answer it. I wondered who it was that was calling me by 7AM.

　　"Hey," I rubbed my sleepy eyes.

　　"Damian, it's Ethan." He said. "This doesn't sound good."

　　"Is Judith okay?"

　　"No, she isn't."

　　"Okay, we're are you now."

　　"I'll send you the digits, but you have to hear me first."

　　"What happened?"

　　"I don't know how this may sound to you, but she has cancer. I was devastated about hearing this. I'm sorry. Maybe you've made plans to marry her and all that, but -"

　　"Was she coughing out blood or -"

　　"I heard her scrapping her hair with a razor, screaming and crying. When I came to the bathroom, I saw she was having a seizure. I didn't know why she didn't tell me she was sick."
