The rest of the week went by with Adele not seeing Jamal like she had requested. She stayed in the hospital to be monitored, while Jamal continued with his work. He only came to see her when she was fast asleep so she wouldn't see him and get upset.
One day, when he had gone to see her, the doctor called into his office and told him about Adele's situation. He had said that Adele had injured her uterus as a result of the miscarriage and it was almost impossible for her to conceive again. When Jamal got home that night, he didn't sleep. He kept thinking about Adele and how much she would hate him even more when she heard the news herself.
He felt guilty for the things he had done to her and he wanted to take responsibility by making things right between them, but he knew Adele also needed time to heal from what she was going through, so he was going to give her time.
