Then the accident happened. After a day without food and with her stomach aching, Tania lost her footing, her body unbalanced and she fell headfirst.
My poor Tania, my sensible Tania. And just like that, she was gone.
I trembled as I shut off the video, unable to watch the final moment and pounded my head in agony. If, if I had taken her with me on my business trip like I usually did, would this tragedy have happened?
In a daze, I missed a step while going downstairs and fainted from the fall. A kind neighbor took me to the hospital.
The doctor said I had been too stressed, hadn't eaten for days and my blood sugar was dangerously low. They advised me to stay in the hospital for two days for observation.
On the third day, I was discharged and went home. I saw two pairs of shoes at the door. One pair of men's leather shoes and one pair of women's high heels.
I recognized that pair of women's high heels, they were Sherry's. I had picked them out for her back then. I unlocked the door and the lights were on inside. There were sounds coming from the bathroom.
