Nicholas was on the verge of speaking, but at that moment, Madelline’s eyes fluttered open. She looked at him, her eyes filled with despair and heartbreak. In a weak voice, she uttered, “Nicholas…”

Normally, he would have hurried to her side, but this time, he remained rooted in place. The darkness of the night surrounded them, creating an eerie stillness. He stood motionless, like a statue, as if time and space had frozen around him. She cried, shaking her head in disbelief that he hadn’t accompanied her in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

He had intended to go with her, but then he received a phone call. She wondered what kind of call could have made him change his mind. “Nicholas…” she whispered feebly, though it took all her strength to do so. Yet, it seemed to fall on deaf ears as he continued to stand there, unmoving.

off the guilt. He remembered the previous time she was in danger, how he had failed to rescue her. He had even doubted her sincerity, believing she was seeking sympathy. That stormy night when she had a car accident and fell into despair, he wasn’t there for her. He blamed himself for not protecting her and their baby. Acknowledging his past mistakes, he was determined this time. No matter the challenges, he vowed not to back down. “Hang on, Nancy. I’m coming home. I promised I’d never leave you alone again. This time, I’m coming to you. I’ll protect you. Wait for me.”
