Chapter 1094

Chloe had no idea how Connor was doing.

She just kept talking, voice soft and shaky, not letting the silence win.

Every now and then, she'd call his name "Connor... Connor..."-hoping for any sign that he was still with her.

At first, he'd answer, maybe a word or two. Then just a weak "mm."

Eventually, even that faded, his voice growing fainter with every breath.

"Honey, I'm so tired. I just want to sleep for a bit..."

Chloe fell silent.

She bit her lip hard, trying not to let herself cry out loud.

"Don't go to sleep, okay?" she pleaded, her words trembling and desperate.

She knew—if Connor closed his eyes now, she might never see them open again.

"I'm begging you, Connor. Please don't sleep. Just talk to me. Talk to me a little longer, okay?"

Everything around her was so quiet, the kind of silence that felt heavy and suffocating.

All Chloe could hear was her own voice, echoing in the darkness, thin and broken, filling the cold, cramped space where they were trapped.

"Connor, I love you. I love you so much. You hear me?"
