Mother nature didn’t bother showing the poor woman any mercy. It felt as if it wasn’t a big deal when someone had just committed suicide in front of us.
I returned to Christopher’s side and started shivering in fear after taking a seat next to him. “Eve…”
When I heard Christopher’s voice, I ran my fingers across his wound, resisting the strong urge to cry. “I’m so sorry, Christopher! I shouldn’t have poked my nose into others’ business!”
“E-Eve, promise me to stay alive—” Christopher held me in his arms, but his voice was barely audible after repeating the same thing over and over again.
Afraid of suffering from severe dehydration, I resisted the urge to cry when I felt torrents of grief streaming down my cheeks. I knew I had to pull myself together to take care of Christopher.
We snuggled in between one another’s arms to keep ourselves warm. Although his body was frigid, I felt a strong sense of security as I lay next to him.
After a long time, I turned around and whispered, “Christopher, are you hungry? I’ll go get you something to eat.”
Immediately after I finished my question, I fell into a deep slumber and had a dream. When I saw someone rushing over to our rescue, I urged them to rush Christopher to the hospital.
