Yolanda’s body was still weak from the medication. She rested her forehead on lan’s shoulder and said in a husky voice, “What brings you here?”

It was just past five in the morning. ‘Did he really wake up this carly? And even come all the way to this hospital?‘ Yolanda thought to herself.

Ian stiffened all over, his lashes lowering as he paused. “You still remember what happened with Megan’s husband last time?”

Yolanda pressed her lips together and closed her eyes.

Ian pulled her into his arms. “Good thing I got here.”

The fear that had gripped her quietly faded away, and with his familiar scent wrapping around her, Yolanda felt safe. A smile touched her lips. “Ian, I’m not afraid anymore. No matter what happened to me tonight, I wouldn’t blame myself for it. Thank you for coming.”

Ian leaned down, pressing his face into her neck. “But I would blame myself.”

Yolanda felt her heart thump–like a heavy blow softened just for her–but she settled quickly, turning her gaze outside.

The police showed up half an hour later. The young nurse pointed out Eric Long and helped pull the security footage from the hospital cameras.

Yolanda stepped out of the car herself, explained the situation to the police, then looked straight at Eric.

Eric’s face went ghostly pale. He still couldn’t wrap his head around why he’d screwed up. ‘The hospital was deserted at this hour. How did some strong young guy suddenly barge in?‘ Eric thought.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes locked on Yolanda, regret all over his face. “Damn shame. Didn’t get to taste you. I won’t rest easy even in the afterlife. Pretty little thing, what’s your name? Just a glance at you, and you’ve already got me hooked.”

He made no effort to hide anything, even in front of the cops.

The cops all looked sour, and Ian nearly lunged forward in anger.

But Yolanda quickly grabbed his arm. Eric was just some twisted piece of trash–the angrier you got, the stronger he’d think he was.

Best to just ignore him.

She dragged lan back into the car and called out to the officers, “Officer, let me know when there’s an update, alright? I don’t know this guy. Someone must’ve put him up to it.”

Eric licked his lips, eyes fixed on Yolanda like he was trying to bore a hole straight through her.
