Chapter 16

• I stride urgently into the hospital, my heart hammering in my chest as I race towards the emergency room. While at the penthouse, I got a text that she was in the hospital. Approaching a passing nurse, I inquire about Alice's whereabouts, and she directs me to bed five with a quick nod. With a sense of urgency propelling me forward, I hasten to her side.
• As I arrive, I see Alice seated on the bed, her expression strained despite the small bandage adorning her pinky. Something doesn’t add up; there must be more to her being here.
