Chapter 11 Just as I was about to hall a cab , a sleek black car slowly pulled up in front of me .
Eve ? The car window rolled down smoothly .
I looked up , still feeling lightheaded .
In that instant , a familiar , refined face came into view .
I froze .
Mr.
Wynn ? Miles stepped out of the car and opened the passenger door gently helping me inside .
It took me a moment to gather my thoughts .
Mr.
Wyun , why are you still here ? He started the engine , his tone calm and measured .
I figured you might still be at the hospital , so I circled the area .
And here you are .
Reaching for a napkin , he handed it to me with a casual ease Were you sick just now ? I accepted it , dabbing at my mouth , and replied quietly , Yes , a little dizzy .
Its probably a lingering effect of the concussion .
His brows knit slightly , the look in his eyes behind the glasses turning sharp and serious .
That was when I realized my back was damp with cold sweat .
As he drove , his voice was calm but comforting .
Its alright .
Get some rest today , and tomorrow Ill take you back to the hospital for a check up .

I glanced up , and our eyes met in the rearview mirror his gaze deep and warm , yet steady enough to ground me .
A strange flutter stirred in my chest , and I quickly looked down , muttering , Thank you … Mr.
Wynn .
He chuckled softly .
Why not call me Woody anymore ? My cheeks flushed even deeper .
That was … back when I was young and didnt know better .
His voice remained light but carried a subtle charm .
Then call me Miles .
After all , I was Nicholas classmate and friend , which makes you like a sister to me .
Calling me that isnt too much , is it ? For reasons I couldnt quite explain , his words left me with a faint sense of disappointment .
The car moved smoothly through the bustling traffic , steady and unhurried .
Miles handled the wheel with practiced precision , his long fingers guiding it with ease , making the drive seem almost effortless .
Watching him drive was strangely mesmerizing , like a master at work calm , focused , and entirely in control .
I stole a few glances at him but quickly looked away , afraid of being caught .
Miles broke the silence .
Eve , where are you headed ? I sighed softly .
I was planning to find Dolly .
He adjusted his glasses , a faint crease forming on his brow Your friend ? I nodded .
My closest friend .
He glanced at me briefly before asking , Is she reliable ? Chapter 11 +26 BONUS I nodded again .
Give me her address .
Ill take you there , Miles offered without hesitation .
I didnt decline .
After all , Id already troubled him once what was one more time ? I quickly dialed Dollys number , but it went straight to a busy signal .
When I tried again , an automated voice informed me , The mumbet youve dialed is currently mallable .
Peeling frustrated , I muttered , Her phones probably dea Miles exhaled lightly .
Is this friend of yours the same one who was in that fight at the mall earlier ? I nodded , the memory of the chaos rushing back .
Lhad been so much pain I passed out , completely unaware of what happened to Dolly afterward .
Suddenly , the realization struck me .
I need to find her ! What if something happened to her ? , Miles reached out and gently pressed down on my fidgeting hands , shaking his head .
No need .
Shes probably at the police station giving a statement .
I froze , panic building in my chest .
Then I need to go there ! Lets head to the station right now .
Inearly jumped out of my seat in urgency , but Miles gave me a strange look an odd mix of amusement , indulgence , and the faintest trace of concern .
He shifted his gaze away , retrieving his phone as he calmly reassured me .
No rush .
Let me check if shes still there first .
He made a quick call , his tone composed and steady .
After hanging up , he turned to me .
I asked around .
Your friend finished her statement and went home .
Her phones probably dead , which is why its off .
But dont worry , my contact said shes fine .
There was such quiet confidence in his voice that I felt the tension drain from my body , leaving me relieved .
