He gave the address, his voice cold as he spoke into the phone. “The guy’s out cold… Quit wasting time. Just transfer the money to my card.”
Halsey had no idea who he was calling. In a daze, she quickly slipped on his jacket, covering her exposed skin.
She supported herself against the side of the cab, trying to stand up. She wanted to thank Dwight, but before she could, a familiar, clear voice rang out from the distance.
“Halsey! Halsey, where are you?”
Wendy had arrived.
By the time Halsey turned around, Dwight had already disappeared.
How had he left so quickly?..
She hadn’t even had the chance to thank him in person.
Stanley and Wendy had arrived, and Stanley had noticed the skid marks on the road. Understanding what had happened, he and Wendy had gotten out of the car to search
Wendy rushed over when she saw Halsey. “Halsey, are you okay? What are you doing out here? You scared me to -death!”
Stanley looked down at the unconscious driver lying on the ground, already piecing things together. Seeing Halsey unharmed, he let out a small sigh of relief.
Yet his handsome face remained tense, his voice sharp as he scolded her. “Halsey, what were you thinking, running off like that? You’re an adult now. You need to learn to take responsibility for yourself!”
The sadness, frustration, and fear from the danger Halsey had just faced all burst forth in Stanley’s stern words. Her eyes welled up, and she turned on her heel, walking away.
Wendy quickly chased after her. “Halsey, where are you going?”
Halsey didn’t look back.
Wendy’s right leg accidentally hit a stone, and she gasped in pain, clutching her leg.
Halsey hesitated for a moment before running back to her. She kneeled and checked Wendy’s injury. “Are you okay?”
Wendy let go of her leg, smiling. “I’m fine. There’s not even a wound.”
Halsey froze, staring at her.
Wendy stood in the rain, her bright eyes twinkling with warmth as she gave Halsey a playful wink. “See? Things aren’t as bad as you thought.”
Tears suddenly streamed down Halsey’s face.
Wendy opened her arms, pulling Halsey into a comforting embrace. She gently patted Halsey’s back. “It’s okay.
Let it all out.”
Halsey sobbed into Wendy’s shoulder, her voice muffled by her tears.
