Serenity grabbed her bag strap tightly. The noise from her surroundings buzzed in her ears, but she could not hear anything. It was as if she was deaf. She took the elevator to the first floor in a daze and walked towards the hospital's main entrance.
When she passed by the flower garden outside the hospital, she almost bumped into someone. The man's handsome hand held her arm and stabilized her. His voice was filled with surprise. "Serene?"
Serenity looked up and saw John in an exquisite suit standing before her. His handsome face looked even clearer under the afterglow.
She quickly masked her loss of composure and calmed herself. Donning a smile, she asked, "What are you doing at the hospital?"
John stared at her with his dark eyes. "My dad is hospitalized. I'm here to see him."
Serenity had met Chris Grant before but did not like remembering what she had learned about John's family background.
