Walking barefoot in the muddy water, his distinct facial.
features were gloomy and cold, with a deep scar marking his
forehead.
He still walked forward with difficult steps…
When Bethany opened her eyes again, it was bright all around.
The thunder outside had become much quieter.
She found herself in the hospital.
She turned her head and unexpectedly Julio.

Bethany’s eyes trembled lightly.
Last night, when she was terrified and scared, the distress call
was made to Terrence.
He… didn’t come.
Bethany’s heart uncontrollably welled up with a sourness.
Julio looked worried, his voice concerned, “Did you wake up? Is
there anywhere uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor to come and
take a look.”

Bethany shook her head.
She knew, she was just scared.
The night when my mother jumped off the building was
accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Dad locked her alone at home, and she suffered all night long.
The next day, Grandma came to our house and found her
unconscious. She took her to the hospital.
Since that day, she never spoke again.
She was afraid of thunder and lightning at night, as well as the
howling sound of strong winds blowing.
Bethany was still in shock, and she had no intention of asking
Julio how he found her.
She simply looked deeply at Julio, extended her unpricked hand,
raised her thumb, bent it twice, and expressed gratitude to him.
She had almost no strength and gently closed her eyes.
Julio did not disturb her, quietly sitting at the bedside watching
over her.
Not long after, Bethany fell asleep again.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside, the
rain had stopped, and the wind had ceased.
The sunlight shone through the window, casting a golden glow
on the wall.
It was very quiet around.
It seemed as if the terrifying thunderstorm from last night had
never occurred.
Bethany tried to sit up, and Julio quickly grabbed a pillow to
cushion her back.
Bethany slowly gestured and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Julio hesitated for a moment.
After he separated from Bethany yesterday afternoon, he didn’t
go anywhere, near Bethany’s house.
Not long after, he saw Bethany carrying a suitcase and leaving
the house, heading to the high–speed railway station.
He sent someone to check, and Bethany bought a high–speed
train ticket to Rivermond and a flight to Alenia.
He drove back to Rivermond and also booked a flight to Alenia.
It started raining around eight or nine o’clock in the evening. By around eleven o’clock, the weather worsened with heavy rain
and strong winds accompanied by lightning and thunder.
He remembered that Bethany was very afraid of
thunderstorms, so he started sending people to investigate the hotel she was staying at.
Because of the bad weather, the telephone signal was very poor, and he couldn’t make a phone call.
When he tried to call Bethany again, he couldn’t get through.
Later, the hospital called him and he rushed over.
“I came here on a business trip.”
Julio did not say that he came over because he was worried
about her.
In order to prevent Bethany from asking him again, he
continued to say, “At around two or three in the morning, the
hospital called me and said that you were saved and needed.
someone to take care of you, calling Mr. McConnell’s…”
Julio stopped talking afterwards.
Terrence’s phone couldn’t be reached because Bethany had his
number in her contacts, so she called him.
Bethany lowered her gaze.
Long eyelashes under the eyelids reflected a patch of light and shadow.
“Dummy, you… Julio still wanted to ask her if her marriage was in trouble, but the words stopped at his lips. He comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. Maybe he’s just busy with work and missed the call. Um… I’ll go out and buy you breakfast. What do you feel like eating?”
Bethany looked up and, using sign language, told Julio that she couldn’t eat anymore. She asked him not to fuss over her and to go back to the hotel and rest early.
“You were sick, how could you not eat anything? I didn’t know
about your situation, so I let it go. But now that I know, how can
I not take care of you?”
Julio was slightly excited.
Bethany didn’t want to worry him anymore, so she didn’t say
anything else and agreed for him to go buy breakfast.
After Julio left, Bethany pressed the emergency button.
The doctor came over, and she asked the doctor about her condition.
The doctor said it was shock caused by excessive fright.
Fortunately, it was brought in time, resting for a while, there is no problem and can be discharged.
Bethany typed on her phone again and asked the doctor who had brought her to the hospital.
