The Cursed Grave 09

When there is life there is hope

When there is light there is day

When there is darkness there is also night.

Pacing to and fro, every element of calmness had left him. He glanced at his Assistant and White Fox, they were nodding their heads in the corner. The nose mask on their face hid the drool from their slumber. He checked his old leather wristwatch again.

"What's taking them so long?" Mark had rushed his mother to the hospital.

The news of his wife's death has not yet dawned on him. He wondered when the lockdown will be eased, he glanced at the empty reception room again.

At 6:00 pm, the doctor finally addressed them. White Fox and Mark's assistant suddenly came awake.

"Mr. Mark Crown she is stable now but…”

Mark moves towards her ward. "Can we see her now?"

"Yes, but she isn't awake yet. She will need some physical therapy. She had a stroke"

The doctor leaves while he tried to comport himself.
