After that, neither of them took the initiative to speak for the next hour.

And Alfred, as if sulking with Nella, didn’t say a word either.

Only when the IV bag finally ran dry did Nella move.

“It’s done,” Nella reminded him.

Then she set her phone aside, peeled off the medical tape, and pulled the needle out of Alfred’s hand.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay,” Alfred answered in a low voice, walked ahead of Nella, and left the injection room without a word.

“Dr. Milo, Dr. Milo.”

The nurse at the desk called to her softly.

Nella looked over and asked, “What is it?”

Outside, heavy snow was falling, flake after flake, piling into thick layers.

Nella opened her umbrella. “Wait here. I’ll go get the car.”

She was about to step into the snow.

But the next second, the umbrella handle-and her hand-were wrapped in a large, well-defined palm.

Maybe because his fever had just gone down, Alfred’s palm was still warm.

So warm it made Nella’s chest tingle.

She turned her head and met Alfred’s gaze, dark and bottomless.

“I’ll go with you.”

Nella didn’t insist.

She pressed down the unsteady rhythm in her chest and nodded.

The car slowly drove out of Apex Medical, heading toward Emerald Vista Bay.

No one spoke along the way.

When they got home, Zoey was already gone.

Under the glaring headlights, the bloodstain by the couch stood out starkly.

It was hard to miss.
