In the silent hospital room, Violet Don opened her eyes to a dim light that gradually became normal.
She glanced around until someone pushed the door open; only then did she snap back to reality.
Noah Bates stood at the doorway, his expression dark and indecipherable. The instant he saw Violet's face, countless emotions flickered through his eyes before extinguishing in the black pupils.
Violet numbly watched him, silent.
She had imagined many scenarios of reunion with a past lover. The world was indeed too small; those whom we deeply loved would inevitably meet us again one day, but Violet had never imagined that Noah Bates would treat her like this.
With an extremely cruel and decisive approach, he had once again cast her into the abyss of despair.
Noah Bates, noting Violet's silence and realizing she didn't want to talk, stood at the door and cleared his throat, "You're awake."
Violet looked at him coldly, saying nothing.
