As the thought crossed her mind, her confusion deepened. Why would someone like him, a doctor, a hospital director, a man with no stake in royal politics, go so far for me? she wondered.
He could have easily turned a blind eye and left her to fend for herself. Instead, he had chosen to accompany her, despite the danger that had clearly been looming since they left the hospital.
Then her mind snagged on another troubling detail. 'Wait... Why does he even have a gun in his car?' she thought, her heart racing. Ikenna wasn't just a doctor; he was the director of the most prestigious hospital in the royal city.
A man like that wouldn't typically need a weapon. So why was it there? And how could he handle himself with such calm in a situation this terrifying?
For a moment, she forgot her own fear, her mind spinning with questions about the man in the driver's seat.
