Nolan had been crying for what seemed like forever, but the moment he was buckled into the passenger seat, he was practically
out like a light, oblivious to anything being said.

heading to the driver's seat.
Over the next two weeks, Zoey made a swift recovery. Spending day and night with Nolan, her affection for him only grew deeper.
On that day, Fitch was driving Nolan back hwhen suddenly, a car accident happened right in front of them. He couldn't swerve

At that moment, Fitch's phone started ringing - it was Zoey.
But his hand was trapped, making it impossible to reach his phone.

Nolan leaned over, retrieving the phone from a corner and hit the answer button.
But then, another collision occurred nearby, part of a chain-reaction crash, apanied by a cacophony of screams and howls.
“Mommy, accident.”
Right after he spoke, the phone screen went dark.

Nolan was quickly carried to safety, and seeing his son unharmed, Fitch breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone began using a jack to lift the debris trapping his arm. Fitch winced, the numbness dulling the pain.

She hastily got out of bed upon overhearing the nurses discussing a massive pile-up on the city's overpass involving a dozen cars,
with fatalities including a child. They were clearing the way for iing severely injured patients.
Zoey felt a buzzing in her head. She had been ready to leave the hospital but was stalling to avoid going back to the villa with
Fitch.

Hearing the ambulance sirens, her heart broke all over again.
Her lips trembled, her hair disheveled, passerby could see a woman in a hospital gown running desperately, unaware of her fear.
Halfway there, Zoey nearly passed out from exhaustion.
But upon seeing the mangled cars, a dark veil fell over her eyes, yet a surge of adrenaline pushed her forward.
She frantically checked the faces of those being loaded into ambulances.
“Ma'am, please step aside.”

If Nolan was the one lying there, she felt life would be meaningless.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, but before she could touch the sheet, a familiar voice called out from behind.
“Honey?”
