"Mommy..."
"Yes?"
"Don't go... Don't leave me, I only have you."
His voice sounded full of pleading and grievance. Cheyenne suddenly remembered what old Mr. Foley had said before.
Despite almost being killed by his biological mother, Kelvin still hoped for her love.
Perhaps this was the paradox.
Her embrace was unusually warm, and Kelvin's restlessness seemed to be soothed.
Breathing evenly, he fell asleep again.
It was clear that they had hugged each other before; just yesterday they were so intimate with no distance between them... but Cheyenne looked at the man lying on her lap as if she was seeing him for the first time, examining him very seriously.
She believed Omari was the most handsome man she'd ever seen, Benson was the gentlest one, and Iker was the most masculine one.
Kelvin wasn't the most handsome, the tallest or kindest, yet she fell in love with him anyway... She couldn't explain why.
Cheyenne couldn't help but lower her head to give Kelvin a light kiss on his forehead while shedding a single tear that landed unexpectedly on his face.
"Kelvin, I forgive you now. Wake up quickly."
Unfortunately, Kelvin remained unconscious. His tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly.
On this sunny summer afternoon, Cheyenne unknowingly watched him for quite some time.
Time passed slowly; Chris counted how many cigarette butts he threw away onto the trash can lid.
His fingers deftly held onto the half-smoked cigarette butt, then took deep inhales, feeling nicotine's stimulation spread throughout his mouth.
Taking out the burning cigarette butt, he pressed it against the lid, thinking that it was time to go back check up on Mr. Foley and Miss Lawrence!
However, as soon as he walked down the hallway, he ran into two men, one in black and one in white, who were equally handsome. They briefly locked eyes before Omari snorted in disdain and walked away.
Chris's lips twitched curiously as he stayed behind to watch. The two men looked around each hospital room with a suspicious gaze, as if searching for something.
