Three days is neither long nor short, and for Aldana, it even feels excessively long.
She has been brought back by Philip Shaw for more than a month.
She misses Norris, misses Gogo, misses the life lived together with them.
She eagerly hopes to leave here, and now that there's a definite hope of departure, she can't endure even a minute or second here.
However, compared to her restless state, Philip Shaw appears much more at ease. He isn't hurried or anxious, seemingly indifferent to the exchange in three days.
Aldana doesn't know if he's pretending or genuinely feels that way.
After dinner, Philip Shaw carried her back to the bedroom.
He had a lot of business to handle, so after chatting with her for a while on the sofa, he left.
She climbed onto her wheelchair, slowly reached the window sill, and looked out.
The evening breeze blew in, carrying a hint of freedom's scent. She took a deep breath of the somewhat chilly night air, feeling all her pores open.
