Tobias agreed to it without a second thought. "Alright, give me five minutes."
The call ended and Miller continued to drive while searching the surrounding areas of the city. Three minutes later, Tobias sent over a location that was near the bridge by the moat.
I immediately told Miller to change her route. Ten minutes later, I saw the license plate number Evan mentioned.
When I opened the door and got out, I saw Hendrix standing alone by the river. He seemed even more desolate under the gloomy weather.
As I approached him, I felt my chest tighten.
No matter how difficult things were or how cruel the truth was, as long as Hendrix did not give up, I was willing to stick with him through it all.
Hendrix was deep in thought, completely unaware that someone was approaching. He was startled when I hugged his stiff torso from the back.
After a while, Hendrix's hoarse voice sounded, "We're going back to Ucrebury."
My chest tightened even more at his heartwrenching voice.
I nodded without hesitation. "Okay, I'll go with you."
After standing by the moat for a while, Hendrix escorted me back to the hotel, silent the whole way.
