Tessa was held in Faye's embrace, inhaling the unique cold fragrance on him and listening to his strong heartbeat. Her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she slowly fell asleep.
She slept soundly, but Faye couldn't sleep at all.
His heart was in turmoil.
No one knew the kind of anger he felt when he received that call.
He had left for less than three days, and something like this happened. He couldn't imagine how she grew up in that household after her parents divorced.
Just now, her helplessness, insecurity, and pitiable vulnerability almost made him wish to destroy whoever caused Tessa to suffer.
No matter who it was.
He gently laid Tessa on the bed and then quietly left the ward.
Nolan Ford was waiting outside. Seeing Faye come over, he immediately walked up and followed him into the empty ward next door, then reported on the start and progress of Tessa's drowning incident.
Upon hearing this, a chilling and terrifying light shot out from Faye's deep, captivating eyes.
