Alric drove the car faster. He had no destination in mind. His phone was already on mute, but in the silent car, even its vibrations make a noise strong enough to get his attention. His eyes started to turn colder and colder. In the end, he picked up the phone and threw it on the backseat.
The phone cracked and finally it stopped ringing. Alric stopped the car and came out. He had already driven to the hospital even when he had no destination in his mind.
He stared at the large building. Many people were coming in and going out. He took out a cigarette and lit it but he did not put it in his mouth but kept holding it in his hands as he watched the crying couple.
His eyes settled on the unconscious child they were holding in their arms.
