"Aren't you going back?" she asked as she walked over.
"Waiting for the test results."
Norris didn't react much and just said, "Oh, then I'll go to the room."
Trenton glanced at her careless expression, extinguished his cigarette, then reached out to grab her hand, leading her to the private room.
Norris climbed onto the bed and sat there, hugging a pillow, lost in thought since she couldn't fall asleep after sleeping well in the car.
Trenton stood by the window, looking outside. His silhouette cast a bit of a shadow, appearing exceptionally dark and heavy under the setting sun's afterglow.
Half an hour later, the lab results came out.
The test showed that the scabs taken from Norris's body indeed tested positive for the presence of the AIDS virus.
In other words, the black man she had injured was indeed an AIDS patient.
As Norris had a lot of wounds on her body, the probability of contracting HIV was high.
