Chapter 12: Luck Wasn’t On Her Side
"Excuse me, Miss. Your mobile phone fell," Alvin handed her the phone.
Aurora feels completely relieved. "Oh, thank you, sir..." She slightly bowed to him before continuing to walk, not wanting Alvin to say anything more.
However, the long corridor was not the visitor area but the patients' ward. Unsure of where to go, she noticed an "Exit" sign above a door; she quickly opened it.
As soon as the door closed behind her, she felt her knee weaken in fear. She was terrified that Alvin might recognize her.
...
Before long, Aurora reached the ground floor, startled to find it raining heavily. The gloomy sky mirrored her heart and mind, filling her with nameless sorrow.
The image of her father crying haunted Aurora, especially as she heard him blame himself for what had happened to her, which only deepened the pain in her heart.
Feeling heartbroken, she began to blame herself as well. If only she had been able to break the glass window or avoid the collision, perhaps she would still be alive, and her father wouldn't feel the sadness or blame himself.
"I apologize, Dad! I never intended to make you feel this way—" The heavy rain and the distant claps of thunder drowned out her voice.
"Hey, excuse me, miss. You can't stand here. This is an emergency exit!" A loud voice from behind startled her out of her sorrow.
Aurora turned to see a male nurse opening the exit door and gazing sharply at her.
