"Hope, are you alright?!" Ian asked frantically, he and Ethan moved closer to her, but not that close to touch the silver bars. "—it's okay, take it easy… take it easy…" he cooed her.
Both of them didn't know what else to say except some empty encouraging words.
"Are you okay now?" Ethan asked again when Hope had stopped throwing up.
"No…" Hope brushed away her hair from her sweaty forehead. "I am not okay," she said sullenly. Her hands and whole body was trembling.
"I am sorry Hope, you have to do this…" Ethan and Ian grimaced, saying the same thing.
Hope didn't say anything, she wiped her sweat and tears before she took a deep breath to calm her thumping heart and raging stomach, in case she would throw up again after seeing the gruesome scene for the second time.
