Ryder quickly spun his head towards the door.
Agnes had just left.
Ryder scrunched his eyebrows, "So where you at?"
Jared responded, "I'm not far from your hospital, about fifteen minutes away."
Ryder exhaled in silence.
Seems like he's not here yet, they probably won't bump into each other.
Agnes carefully secured Nocturne in the car's child safety seat.
This safety seat was specially customized, unlike any other.
Nocturne could sleep in it.
After setting up Nocturne, Agnes drove off.
This was downtown.
The traffic was heavy and there were tall buildings on both sides.
Meanwhile.
Jared was also driving on the same street.
Seems like fate had its own agenda.
Agnes’ and Jared’s car both came to a halt at the same red light.
Jared stopped his car.
He absentmindedly turned his head.
And then he saw a familiar profile.
For a moment, Jared felt like time had frozen.
That face, it had appeared in his dreams countless times.
Every time, he wanted to reach out and touch it.
But it would always fade into nothingness.
On countless nights, he would wake up from his dreams.
All he would see was endless darkness, like dawn would never come.
Jared thought he was hallucinating.
Over the years, he had mistaken many people for her.
After Agnes disappeared, Jared realized, there were indeed a lot of people who looked like her.
