In the meanwhile, Holly Martinez paid a visit to the hospital.
She no longer bore the radiance and elegance of her past, appearing to have aged dramatically within a few days.
Edward Brown's feelings were still complicated when he saw her.
Holly glanced at Walker Martinez, who had been shot with a high dose of sedatives and wouldn't wake up any time soon.
Holly blankly sat beside her brother's bed for a long time.
As she contemplated reaching out to touch her brother, she eventually withdrew her hand.
Turning around, she said to Edward Brown, "Please take good care of him. Given today's incident, he may act recklessly."
She had seen the news.
Her feelings were inexplicably changing. After thinking long and hard for several days, her initial resentment and misunderstanding, her refusal to accept her husband's true nature, her unwillingness to confront the fact that her husband wanted to kill Walker—it all mounted to an agony that intensified day by day.
