Morwenna halted her breath as if she was about to fall off a mountain once again.
It was too high. She saw her younger self, immobile, watching her lifeblood slowly drain away.
Her breathing grew slower, nearly suffocating.
Then, suddenly, someone grabbed her hand.
She heard a steady male voice beside her.
"I'm here, you're safe now."
Was it Melvin who had come to save her?
No, it was Stuart!
Her tight chest seemed to inflate with air. The next moment, Morwenna was gasping for breath.
What a fierce wind!
They are tumbling and spinning at high speed.
She clasped Stuart's hand.
Stuart felt the cold sweat on the small hand in his palm. Was that fearless daredevil scared of heights?
Stuart had received the news earlier that Morwenna was taken away by Barclay.
He knew Barclay's intentions were far from good, but he didn't stop him.
'Cause by doing this, he could come off like some sort of hero.
It wasn't until he saw Morwenna panic that he appeared.
He could have stopped this roller coaster right away, but he didn’t.
According to psychology, going through fear with him, she will depend more on Stuart.
This wasn't about showing up in the nick of time to save the day. The whole thing was planned from the get-go.
What he hadn't anticipated was Morwenna's fear of heights being more severe than he imagined.
Morwenna knew nothing.
Amid the roaring wind, she heard her heart pounding.
Was it fear or something else?
