“I believe you,” Axel replied in a single word, gripping her palm ever tighter. The realization hit him-this
explained why she was so jumpy. He had noticed it himself. Whenever he encountered her-or walked
across the street from her, there seemed to be someone trailing after her. She wasn’t being frightened

into his larger one, and he reluctantly released her hand. His palm suddenly felt cold, Josing the

With a determined sigh, Axel retrieved his phone, dialing Ethan’s number, “Have my car sent back; I
need it,” he stated, the urgency evident in his voice. “Fine,” Ethan curtly replied.

emotions. The twins, Daisy’ and Liam, occupied his thoughts like a persistent echo. Despite having
arrived at the hospital. some time ago, he remained seated in his car, grappling with the conflicting
feelings that surged within him. Earlier that afternoon, instead of spending precious moments with the

gnawed at him as he pondered over his actions. He needed to talk to Hazel, to unravel the complexities
that seemed to entwine their lives.

Ethan?” Hazel’s voice echoed with surprise as she encountered him minutes later at the entrance of
their
room.
“Hey.” He replied, a subtle nervousness lingering in his demeanor.
“Hi.” She replied, but he noticed the curiosity in her gaze. Ethan’s presence at that late hour seemed
unusual, especially after his abrupt departure earlier in the day.
“It’s pretty late, why are you here this late?” She probed, her eyes searching for an explanation. Ethan,
caught off guard, could not conjure a plausible reason for his unexpected return.
Ethan only stared at her, his mind grappling with the absence of a coherent excuse for being there.

busy, I guess,” she shrugged, unable to comprehend the necessity of his apology or his second
unanticipated visit that same day.

“Ethan Wild, nervous?’ she wondered
“I don’t have a reason or an excuse for being here. I just drove for hours and found my way here,” he
confessed, leaving Hazel further confused.
