Marcus exited the emergency area, accompanied by an officer. He wore an uncomfortable neck brace and was being escorted to a private office to give his statement. As someone of prominence, he was kept away from prying eyes and curious onlookers.

Walking alongside the officer, who barely came up to his shoulder, Marcus’s attention was suddenly drawn to a young woman pacing with a baby in her arms, trying to soothe its cries. For a moment, he thought the accident had affected his vision. He rubbed his eyes, but when he opened them again, the woman was still there.

“Please find her. And whatever she needs, make sure she’s taken care of. I’ll cover the expenses. Just don’t let her leave,” Marcus said, wincing as the neck trace restricted his movements. He felt like a dog wearing the cone of shame.
