The following days were very comfortable for me. I realized that being alone seemed to be more free than being with someone else.
Two months later, Valery appeared at my door, all wet.
I took a look at her. Valery looked tired and thin, completely different from the arrogant one I saw in the court parking lot last time. Her eyes were swollen badly. It seemed like she had been crying for a long time. When she saw me open the door, she immediately grabbed my hand. "Honey, please save me. I... I have cancer. It's already in the middle stage. Now only you can help me."
