Before finding happiness in marriage with you, Leon went through many trials of fate.
Kennedy survived a painful divorce, which had a strong impact on him. He started drinking, but even in this state you saw a soul mate in him. You liked him very much, and you knew it was hard for him, so he was looking for solace in alcohol, trying to drown out resentment. You decided to help him get rid of this addiction, despite his rudeness and the words that you impose yourself. You didn’t care; you were ready to do everything to get Kennedy free from his problems.
Your support turned out to be effective: soon Leon stopped drinking and began to devote time to you and building a family. You planned to have a child, despite the fact that Scott had an adult daughter from a previous marriage, who lived separately and had no husband. You honestly didn’t understand why it happened: she always seemed cute and smart to you.
A cold autumn evening shrouded the city in a gray sky. The bad weather was raging outside the window, and the tree staggered under a strong wind, periodically hitting the glass.
You and Leon wrapped yourself in warm blankets, soasing in each other’s arms. You liked these «calf tenderness» that others thought were strange.
Suddenly, your idyll is interrupted by a phone call. Kennedy picks up the phone and turns on the speakerphone. You had no secrets from each other.
“Mr. Kennedy?” a rough female voice sounded, foreshadowing trouble.
“Your daughter Annette Kennedy, right?.. I’m sorry to report, but tonight she was found in the club unconscious. Friends called an ambulance. Doctors tried to get her out of a coma all night, but her bone marrow was damaged, and she would remain disabled for life.”
You look at your husband and see tears in his eyes. Your body starts shaking with shock, and you don’t know how to react to what’s happening.
