As dawn broke, Sienna Thornton got up to use the bathroom, and coincidentally, a message came through on her phone, which she opened and read.
It was from Simon Forrester: I'm almost at the hospital, waiting for you at the room entrance.
She quickly threw on a coat and went out.
The inpatient department of the old county hospital was dim and outdated, with cold winds howling through the stairwell. Sienna Thornton hunched her shoulders against the cold, waiting outside the room for Simon Forrester.
After a moment, a tall figure came striding from the stairwell.
It was Simon Forrester, dressed in clean clothes.
He wore a white cashmere crew-neck sweater and a khaki wool coat, approaching from afar with a clean and handsome demeanor.
He stopped in front of Sienna Thornton, quietly looking at her for a few seconds, and then softly said, "I'm heading back."
