The doctor came out of the ward looking cautious and closed the door.
Keith sat aside and looked at the gloomy-faced Eric, who had such ashen and defeated eyes. Eric looked like a different person compared to the spirited man h e was back then.
"Eerg..."
Keith suddenly did not know how to speak.
Eric raised his dark eyes drearily to look at Keith. His voice was deep and hoarse with unspeakable sadness. "I just had a dream that I called her to give blood to Wendy. She obediently agreed and went. I told her not to go in the dream, that Wendy was just pretending and that she doesn't need to donate blood. But she couldn't hear me no matter what I said. She didn't turn back..."
Keith choked for a moment. He felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest.
He saw Eric's lax and listless eyes that looked like they were looking through Keith and lamenting the past.
Eric finished speaking. His eyelashes quivered as he asked Keith, "I want to be good to her, but why am I always doing things that hurt her?"
"Ferg, you...”
Keith paused for a second before making up his mind t o speak.
"Forget it. It's good that she survived. At least the Stanton family won't find trouble with you. Nothing has changed now that the situation maintains its balance."
At least to Eric, he did not lose anything and even solved the big problem that was Angie.
Eric's face was pale without a trace of blood. "Nothing has changed?"
Eric sneered and laughed self-deprecatingly. The corners of his eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
But Eric changed. Nicole also changed.
She would never cross paths with him again. Eric once again recognized his ruthlessness.
Keith wrinkled his brow and looked at Eric. He wanted to comfort Eric, but he did not know how to. Keith could not stand to see Eric look so decrepit and constantly live in self-reproach forever.
