Returning home, Nicole packed her belongings and quietly left Sutherland.
This time, she swore, Tristan would never find her again. She believed that after reading her letter, he would finally let her go.
As the plane took off, Nicole leaned her head against the window, her eyes weary as she gazed at the clouds.
She slowly closed her eyes. “Tristan Ford, this time, it’s really goodbye.”
In the cold, sterile hospital room, Tristan still hadn’t woken up.
He dreamed of Nicole leaving him again. No matter how desperately he begged, she didn’t even look back.
“Nicky!”
Jolted awake from the nightmare, he looked around frantically, searching for her.
He tried to get out of bed, but the caregiver stopped him.
“Sir, are you looking for Miss Snow? She’s already gone,”
“Where did she go?” Tristan grabbed her arm, his voice trembling. “I can’t let her leave. I can’t lose her again.”
