Even during the most dangerous times, she had never hoped for him to save her.
So when she saw him get out of the car, she asked in confusion—"How come you're here?"
She genuinely didn't expect him to come.
Just like that text message.
She would never think that he would come to save her.
Trenton Smith slowly took a breath, feeling like ice was forming in his lungs as he faced the cold wind and walked out of the hospital. He was afraid that if he stayed in the room any longer, she might really drive him crazy out of annoyance.

Sitting in the car, Trenton leaned his head against the seat, looking at the ceiling.
The cold crept in from all angles, spreading through his heart.
