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.
How much does he have to say for her to understand that she doesn't have to do any of this? He's willing to give her whatever she wants.
Or is it that she's already deaf to anything he says?
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.
He had thought about making amends, but perhaps this time, there might not be a chance left.
