I felt like I had been struck by lightning, freezing in place as a chill enveloped me.
Ivanna was too impulsive! At this age, couldn't she think more empathetically? Couldn’t she consider what she could do to fight for herself?
I sensed an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
Seeing me standing there like a statue, the medical assistant seemed a bit startled. She looked at me and asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel unwell? Do you need help?"
I collected myself, shook my head numbly, and weakly asked, "How long ago did she leave?"
She seemed a bit perplexed by my question. "Are you talking about Ivanna?"
I nodded.
She responded indifferently, "She left quite a while ago."
I thanked her in a soft voice. She just raised an eyebrow and continued with her work, paying no further attention to me.
As I turned around in a daze, I pondered. She must have gone home by now. At this moment, she must be feeling lonely and helpless, needing care more than ever.
With these thoughts, I ran out of the hospital, quickly got back into the car, and headed straight to Amethyst Apartments.
During the journey, I called Lauren again. She answered right away, "Did you find her?"
"Yeah. She indeed went to the hospital." My tone was somber, tinged with a sense of heartache.
"Ah.... What happened? Did she…?" Lauren couldn't help but ask anxiously.
I just sighed, unable to find words to respond.
Lauren suddenly stomped her foot, saying, "It's all my fault, I... Why did I sleep? I shouldn't have been too relaxed with her. I..."
As she was lamenting and blaming herself, I suddenly heard another voice on the phone, "Don't worry. Don't blame yourself..."
What was going on? Why did that sound like Oliver’s voice?
But when I listened more intently, the voice was gone.
