In an inpatient ward.
A pale looking woman is now weakly lying down on the bed. She's faintly smiling, just like having some kind of a good dream. She looks so calm without making any sound like everything is perfect. The whole ward is very quiet, just like her sweet smile.
At that time, he unexpectedly feels like he really wants to protect Aileen's precious smile.
Richard, who's standing by the window keeps, stared at Aileen who's lying down on the bed, just like he has never been fascinated by her.
But now he feels that somehow, Aileen is really attractive... Especially when she's sleeping.
He doesn't know what is happening and since when did he start to have feelings.
Since when did he start to fall in love with the woman in front of him?
He thought that he's just using her to vent off. He didn't expect that he'd find her wrists bleeding when he came back to that room to look for her. The floor was even full of blood back then! Only then, he realized the severity of the matter. This woman unexpectedly wanted to commit suicide and to free herself from him.
If he didn't come back in time, or he had sent her to the hospital later... Aileen might already be dead.
He doesn't know why his heart feels restless after thinking about this.
When did the woman in front of him start to move his feelings?
Because now, he's very worried about her safety and very scared that she might leave him.
He feels at ease after seeing her gratified smile now, because her smile means that she's fine.
It's been a long time since she's saved, and there's a change for the better. He feels a bit happier after thinking of that.
He sees a slight movement from Aileen's eyelid. She might just open her eyes on the next second.
Because of that, his expression turns icy cold again. He can't just let her know that he cares so much for her.
But when Aileen opens her eyes and sees the man in front of her... She feels that everything is meaningless because she wants to leave this world.
In the end, she finds herself in the hospital and not dead... It means that she's saved.
Could she be saved by the shadow she saw before fainting? Then who is it?
Else than Richard, it seems that no one else is possible.
There's an unspeakable pain when she realizes that she's still living in this world. She just wants to free herself, why is it so difficult? Why can't she just die on her own will?
Furthermore, Aileen opens her eyes and sees that scary man now. He's just like a beast that keeps torturing her body and she doesn't want to suffer like that again.
So she quickly closes her eyes back and prefers to stay in a comma.
She prefers to stay in a comma because if she does, then at least she won't have to suffer from his tortures anymore.
