Chapter 6

He descended from the top floor of the hospital, his soul shattered and spirits crushed.

For a moment, it felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped away.

Once upon a time, Autumn's calls would flood his phone, seemingly endless.

But now, the sudden silence made him feel uneasy.

He couldn't believe Autumn had left him just like that.

About fifteen minutes later, a sharp ringtone jolted him from his thoughts.

With trembling hands, he fished the phone out of his bag.

He desperately hoped it would be Autumn calling.

But when he saw the caller ID,

His heart sank once again.

It was Vivienne.

Vivienne on the other end of the line seemed a bit upset.

"Ezra, you were gone when I woke up this morning. You usually wake me up, what happened today? Don't you care about me anymore?"

There was a time when Ezra adored Vivienne's coquettish behavior.

He loved her sweet, sugary voice the most.

Hearing it would make his blood rush, no matter where he was.
