He had a new phone now.
He could have called her if he wanted, but he didn’t.
It reminded her once again of why she was mad at him.
She turned to the guard. “This is a girls‘ dormitory. Even if we are married, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s trespassing. I didn’t invite him to come in. Can’t you make him leave?‘
‘Um… The guard was hesitant to get in the middle of a lovers‘ tiff.
Experience told him nothing good could come from his intervention.
‘Fine, I’ll leave,‘ Austyn said suddenly.
The guard secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Kira eyed Austyn suspiciously.
Why did he have such an abrupt change of heart?
Austyn tried to hide his trembling hands.
The bleeding had not stopped.
He was cold all over and could not stop shivering.
If he stayed any longer, he was going to pass out.
Kira was too worked up to notice.
She opened the door wider. ‘Get out!‘
Austyn walked past the security guard, who was confused by the situation.
Austyn paused next to Kira. ‘Will you come home with me?‘
‘In your dreams!‘
Kira detected a strange scent in the air.
She took another whiff.
Was that… blood?
Austyn just nodded and left the room.
Kira banged the door shut.
The guard was still in the room. ‘Miss, I think I should escort him out of the building.‘
Kira nodded at him. ‘Thank you for coming.‘
She was about to open the door.
A loud thud came from the other side.
Something had hit the floor.
Startled, Kira pulled the door open.
Austyn was lying on the ground, face down.
Kira’s eyes widened.
She swallowed the panic rising in her throat. ‘Hey, get up! Your trick’s not going to work‘
Austyn did not move.
Kira bent down next to him. ‘Austyn! Get up! It’s not funny!‘
He remained motionless.
Kira touched his face.
His cheek was cold.
His eyes were closed.
‘Austyn!‘
“What’s going on?‘ The guard came out after Kira. ‘Oh my, I think he fainted.‘
‘Call an ambulance!‘ Kira tried to lift Austyn’s head, but she was too weak to manage it.
‘Let me.‘ The guard stepped forward to help.
He gently flipped Austyn over.
His hand touched Austyn’s jacket. ‘Shit, I think he’s bleeding.‘
Kira saw the guard’s hand stained red. ‘Wh–what?‘

‘Kira, what’s going on?‘ Giana jogged over.
She’d just seen Noah off.
‘Austyn’s…he’s passed out.‘ Kira was in a daze.
She couldn’t tear her eyes away from the blood on the guard’s hand,
‘Shit, Noah warned me about this.‘ Giana called Noah on the phone.
