The moonlight was bleak, cool as still water.
Audrey Hughes's heart was just as bleak. Several times, she felt her strength give out, as if she could no longer stand. But Shane Sterling, beside her, held her tightly the entire time.
She turned her head to look at his profile, which so strongly resembled Victor Sterling's, and her heart filled with a storm of emotions.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at the hospital with Ezra? What are you doing here?" Audrey Hughes asked.
"Yicheng is with him," Shane Sterling replied. He left the rest unsaid: 'I was worried about you.'
Audrey Hughes fell silent.
Shane Sterling led her to his car.
"To the hospital? Or should I take you home to rest?" Shane Sterling asked.
"To the hospital."
Shane Sterling started the car and turned it around, heading toward the hospital.
