Terrible choice
After Doctor Charles left, the dining table was awkwardly silent.
Roland and Ava were too occupied with their own thoughts to focus on each other.
“May I be excused? I am full.” Ava said a while later.
Roland lifted his head and gazed at her calm appearance. He then let out a soft sigh before focusing his attention back on his dinner.
“You are free to go.” Roland mumbled.
Tears shimmered in Ava's eyes as she stood there staring at the man that her heart longs for, but now, he was too distant for her to hold onto him. She sniffed back her cry, then turned around and walked away.
Ava was so into her thoughts as she walked towards her room that she did not hear the footsteps behind her.
“Is that what you are going to be sleeping in tonight?”
Ava turned around to see Roland staring at her. She tried to smile at him. But her lips rebelled against her and a frown was the only expression she could come up with at that moment.
“It's not

Her hands began to shiver, and her feet felt heavy beneath her.Ava thought she was going to collapse from panic, but then she felt her fingers begin gently squeezed by Roland's hand, and that somehow made her feel safe.“Act normal. We can not give them any wrong signal or else other people might get hurt in a crossfire. Do you understand?” Roland whispered as he kept holding onto Ava's hand while they continued walking.“Yes. Wait, them? How many are there?” Ava mumbled.“We have one man on our left, the other on our right, and two at our back.” Roland replied.The thought of four men with guns walking so close by them made Ava's fear resurface again, causing her breathing to become deep and heavy.“Hey, hey.

Do you know how close to death you were just now!” Roland lashed out.“I… I am sorry.” Ava replied.Roland felt Ava’s hands tremble, and his anger immediately subsided a bit.“Don't move.

After Roland’s response settled into Ava’s mind, she felt like she could finally breathe, and it was not because he told her that he could die for her, but it was about the fact that he truly had her back.Ava honestly smiled at Roland, and in that instant, he hugged her tightly for about two minutes before letting go of Ava.“So, do you feel ready now?” Roland asked.“Give me a second to get my hair done, then I can answer your question.” Ava replied.“Okay.
