After dinner, Jerel Edwin didn't linger at the program group and instead returned to the city since he had to work the next day.
In the evening, Caroline handed Alison another talisman.
Alison carefully wore it and went to bed early; during the past few days, she hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep in the hospital without the talisman, as various small accidents kept occurring.
Not long after, Alison fell asleep, and Caroline took a glance at her before pulling the quilt up to cover her properly.
Caroline lay in bed with headphones on and played Happy Match on her phone until around eleven o'clock, then quit the game.
She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out. The night breeze blew gently, carrying a bit of the cool dampness of the night air.
Everything was silent, and shades were beginning to gather. Caroline headed toward the Lindsay's house.
