At that moment The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Ethan, their expressions a mix of surprise and confusion. No one had noticed he followed them in until now, standing calmly near the doorway. It was clear they hadn't connected him to the events earlier.
Annabelle's father was the first to speak, his tone suspicious. "And who might you be?"
Annabelle, still weak but managing to sit up slightly, looked at Ethan with faint remembrance of the incident.
"Wait… you're the one who pulled me out of the car, aren't you?"
Ethan nodded, his calm gaze meeting hers.
"Yes. I'm the one who brought you here also."
The realization dawned on everyone, and Annabelle's mother spoke sharply.
"You're the one who saved her? We assumed it was just some passerby and you brought her here…"
At that moment Annabelle interrupted, her voice soft but firm. "He's more than that."
She glanced at Ethan, a small smile playing on her lips.
