After Eira had left, Hazel walked into the room again and found that Alex was still sleeping. Last night, Alex had tried so hard to resist the drug's effect and because of it, he had lost his energy. The moment he closed his eyes, Alex had drifted into sleep and only woke up in the middle of the night for a toilet break.
Hazel checked on the paper bag that Eira had handed her earlier and pulled out a fresh change of clothes. Then, she walked over to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out again, Alex had woken up and was looking at something on his phone.
The moment he heard her movement, Alex put the phone on the side table and stared at Hazel with a dazed expression. The end of her hair was still wet and her cheek was slightly reddened.
