CHAPTER 50
DEVLIN
The pieces of paper from the laboratory I held in my shaking hands confirmed that one tablet, among all the tablets screened, was a narcotic. That particular pill contained a potent ingredient not advisable to be taken as medication. Sairah had been taking the same tablet twice a day…for weeks. Jesus! I whispered to myself.
Although-- we expected the screening result, I still felt my heart had been taken away from my chest, and it was tearing in pain.
Narcotics take me down to the road of our dark past, the real reason why I left Sairah, five years ago.
Sairah was so naive and distressed. For months after the accident, she had distanced herself from me, and her depression increased when we were advised having a child in the future would be a work of the divine.
