Kimberly stood there for a moment and nodded. After that, she waited for Abigail to pack up her things and headed home with her.

By the time they had left the hospital, it was already night time. The city lights blended together with the lights from all the traffic. The night breeze made Kimberly slightly cold. She crossed her arms and shrank into herself, trying to conserve all her body heat.

"Put on the jacket if you're cold. Wait for me here, I'll go get my car."

"Okay, Auntie." Kimberly addressed her as 'Auntie' now. The more she said it, the more pleasant it sounded.

She waited at the entrance of the hospital. It was already autumn, and the night wind was quite chilly. She thought about it for a moment and finally put on Maddox's jacket.

His jacket was very big, and it looked like a big cloak on her body. But it protected her nicely from the chilly wind.

Kimberly lowered her head and took a deep breath. There was a familiar scent on his jacket. It smelled like him. It was cold and clear, his essence in a puff of smoke.

She blinked and subconsciously wrapped the jacket a little tighter around herself. About two minutes later, Abigail stopped the car in front of her. Kimberly opened the door and got in.

"Remember to fasten your seat belt," Abigail reminded and then drove away.
