“I see. Is that what you wanted to talk about?” Harvey asked as if he had expected this all along.
“Hayden told me that time is running out. In less than a month, if she doesn’t wake up…” I said before my words trailed off as my eyes travelled to the figure sleeping peacefully on her bed.
“I’ll let her go. Her body probably won’t last much longer either…” Harvey said passively.
He’ll let her go as in. He’ll pull the plug and let her…
“It’s ok, Malissa…” Harvey said before he smiled a soft and gentle smile at me.
In that moment, I had no idea why I was the one being comforted when it was Harvey who was about to lose his fiancée…forever.
“If only she would wake up…” I mumbled very softly to myself.
I quickly noticed that that doesn’t solve our immediate problem. The timeline doesn’t line up. The deal expires in around a month while I had to give the boss my answer in 6 days. What should I do? Suddenly it seemed like everyone was just figuring out a way to buy more time.
