Chapter 24: EP-22

" He is fine. " The doctor informed Maria who stood there with her shaking figure.

The loudest sigh escaped her mouth and her body relaxed, her legs gave out. Mark helped her to sit at a chair.

Mark thanked the doctor and pulled her phone out to call Crystal who had been calling for many hours.

While taking to her, Mark observed Maria, a realisation hitting him hard.

" I will talk to you later, love. " He said in the phone and hung up the call.

He walked towards her.

" Maria. " He called her. She lifted her head to look at him.

Her tears stained face and red puffy eyes, her messy hair loudly announced something he dreaded.

Still to be sure, he asked her, hoping her answer would be a ' no '.

" Do you have feelings for him? " He gulped.

Maria stared at her brother.

" Yes. " An involuntary reply.

He took a sharp breath in, " Do you love him? "

She thought for a moment. It was true that she was attracted to him, that she felt things for him, but did she love him?
