The hospital room fell completely silent for a few seconds.
"Aria's last words still seemed to ring in everyone's ears."
"Uncle wanted to save us..."
Ryan said, a little surprised,"
"Are you sure?"
Aria nodded weakly.
There was still fatigue in her eyes, but there was no fear in her voice.
"I saw..."
"Uncle was looking for us after the fire that day."And she was crying."
Lila's chest suddenly twisted.
Everything in her head was going haywire.
The person she had hated for so long...
The person she had thought was a killer...
Did he really try to save them?
Ethan said slowly,
"So...we've been blaming the wrong people for so long?"
No one answered.
Maya looked at Lila silently.
Because Lila's face looked strangely pale at this moment.
Her eyes were trembling.
It felt like she was breaking down from the inside.
Lila suddenly stood up.
"Where's Uncle?"
Everyone was a little shocked.
Ryan said,
"He said he would just get dressed and leave..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lila quickly left the room.
"Lila!"
Maya called from behind.
But she didn't stop.
She started walking quickly through the white hallway of the hospital.
Her chest was pounding.
Only one thing was going through her mind
What if Adrian was really innocent?
What if she had been misunderstood all this time?
Lila started searching in front of one room after another.
Dressing room.
Emergency section.
Waiting area
But Adrian was nowhere to be found.
As a nurse passed by, Lila quickly asked,
"There was an injured man here… wearing a black coat…"
The nurse thought for a moment and said,
"Oh, him?"
"He left a while ago."
Lila's body suddenly stopped.
"Has he left…?"
The nurse shook her head.
"Yes. His hand was bandaged."
"But he didn't stay long."
For a few seconds, Lila couldn't say anything.
Her chest suddenly felt strangely heavy.
It felt like something was slipping out of her control.
Just then, Maya and Ryan arrived in the hallway.
Maya asked softly,
"Are you okay?
Lila didn't answer.
Tears were welling up in her eyes.
She didn't even understand why it was hurting so much.
Maybe it was because."
this was the first time she'd ever been afraid of losing Adrian.
Ryan said softly,
"Maybe he'll come back again."
Lila nodded lightly.
But her mind was telling her—
Adrian had left on purpose.
Maybe to stay away from them.
Maybe to protect them.
It was still raining outside the large glass of the hospital.
And in the middle of that rain—
A man stood calmly in the darkness on the opposite side of the hospital.
A fresh bandage was tied around his hand.
Adrian.
He glanced at the hospital window from a distance just once.
Then he slowly turned back and disappeared into the darkness.
