Chapter 16: Cold Revenge.
"She is my sister after all." Her voice was quivering with panic and she shook like a dry leaf in the winters. Her body looked so frail as if it would fly away any second.
Max felt pity for the weak girl. He softly nodded without asking further.
"Alright, I understand. You do not need to worry so much." He consoled her but she could see the rage boiling on his face. She lowered her head and slowly nodded.
"There is a packet of snacks in the backseat. Eat something you must be hungry for. We will get there soon." she nodded and opened the packet. There were small gummy candies and beetroot chips. Her lips curled into a wry smile. In her past life, he had brought the same snacks for her daughter too saying they were healthy but Addie never liked them.
She opened the packet and ate them hurriedly. The man looked at Nora with his heart burning to save her. They must have kept her hungry too.
The car stopped in front of a large hospital.
"We will check your wounds and do some tests. So you have to live here for two days. Do not worry, I will make sure that your uncle and aunt could not come here. Alright?" he assured her again and again as if she was a weak child. Nora nodded, her eyes filled with genuine gratitude and warmth. She would remember this in her life.
He parked the car and guided her in the corridors. Nora felt proud when many nodded at him with respect. They walked a bit further when a nurse came running. Panicking, she whispered something and Max's face went grim.
He excused himself and went to the other side to discuss something with the nurse.
