Chapter 107 : Aftermath

Christian

I keep standing in the cool breeze. The incident reflects my sanity.

Will I ever be able to forgive myself?

I feel a kind of warmth around me that drags me out of my thoughts. Ivanna wraps me with a comforter from behind.

"Hey, what are you doing here in such a cold breeze?" Her voice is concerned. "How long have you been here?"

She touches my cheek with the back of my palm when I keep my gaze away from her.

"Chris, your body is so cold", her voice shakes as she wraps her arms around me and leans against my arm. It forces me to look down at her.

Our eyes meet for a while, with no words spoken. Her eyes are filled with concern and confusion.

"What happened to you?" She whispers, pressing her lips.

"Nothing"

"That's why you're here in the middle of the night, freezing in cold?" She gazes at me.

"I was sweating", I tell her honestly. "Kind of suffocation"

"I hope your blood pressure is stable. Is it?" She asks.

"Maybe. I don't feel anything else. Just suffocation", I reply.
