    Irene turned away. "Please don''t ask...”


    James grabbed her arm as an ominous feeling seized him, but he kept his expression calm


    nheless.


    “Tell me," he said, keeping his voice quiet.


    Irene closed her sore eyes. "You have a hunch, don''t you?"

    James released her then.


    Erin''s clothes were in pieces when they found her,ying in the bushes near the car.


    That''s why you shouldn''t ask," Irene continued softly, hardly able to stay calm from the travesty. "I''ll


    stay with her at all times, but she doesn''t want to see you, so don''t try to barge in. You''d only upset her


    more."


    James''s mouth hung opened, but no words came out


    He was devastated, and Irene felt her chest tighten seeing his reaction!I will take care of her. There will


    be someone with her at all times."


    With that, she returned inside the operating room.She was the one who operated on Erin, and therefore


    knew very well.


    Worried that she would upset Erin, she tried to keep her voice as mild as she could. "Let''s get you to


    your ward."


    Erin was staring nkly at the ceiling in silence, as Irene quietly wheeled her to her ward and then


    locked the wheels in ce, before taking a chair to sit beside her.


    Eriny on her side with her back to Irene.


    Irene wanted to say something, but she ended up swallowing her words.


    Any words offort were as pointless as it was unconvincing, and there was noforting Erin''s


    wounded spirit.


    The room was silent in the dimly lit ward, until Erin''s repressed sobs were heard ever so distinctly.


    "Cry if you want. There''s no else here,” Irene rasped.


    Erin’s cries turned loud in a split second and she pulled her nket over her face, her shoulder shaking


    as she wailed.The air in the ward was rife with pain and mncholy!


    The only thing Irene could do right now was quietly keep Erinpany and stop her from doing


    anything stupid!


    Erin cried for a long while, and it was not until it was almost daybreak that she fell asleep from


    exhaustion.


    Irene was afraid to move, since she might wake Erin when Erin needed rest.


    If she kept being distraught, her body and spirit might crumble.


    The door to the ward opened around 7 AM.


    Irene turned, expecting James, only to see that it was Isaac who came in.


    She stared nkly at him for a moment before rising to her feet the next instant.


    Realizing that she might have moved too abruptly, she quickly turned around to check on Erin-who was


    fortunately sound asleep.


    Gingerly walking up to Isaac, she mouthed, "Outside."


    Isaac headed out, and Irene gently closed the door behind her, before throwing herself into Isaac''s


    arms right away. "You''re back.”


    Isaac patted her on the back. "Yeah. | was so worried when | heard you cry.’ "It''s terrible," she


    murmured, her voice choking with tears. “It''s all because of me..."


    Isaac saw James on the way in, and he was sitting on the floor, appearing haggard and exhausted as


    he did not sleep the entire night!


    "They wanted to take me, and Erin told them she was me to protect me...’


    Understanding that she was distraught, Isaac held her in his warm embrace, offeringfort.


    It took a while for her to finally calm down, and she sniffled.


    When she looked up, there were still tears on hisshes. "What should | do?


    Isaac raised his hands to wipe her tears. “How bad is it?”


    Irene''s lips were cracked and dry-she had not had a drink since the incident.


    ‘She was raped... They took turns with her, and she lost her baby."
