Out of nowhere, the scene changed. The darkness in front of her broke apart as a faint beam of light appeared.

A man stepped out of it, walking slowly toward her and reaching out his hand.

His hand was strong and steady, with long, perfectly shaped fingers–beautiful, really.

She couldn’t see his face clearly, but strangely, she didn’t feel afraid at all.

Without thinking, she reached for his hand.

The moment their hands touched, warmth spread through her whole body, and all those horrible images around her disappeared.

That warmth seemed to guide her, pulling her through the darkness.

Little by little, the shadows faded, replaced by a soft, glowing light.

When the light surrounded her, she realized she was standing in the middle of a breathtaking field of flowers.

A calm, gentle voice whispered near her ear, “Amelia, don’t be afraid. I’m right here.”

Then, her eyes flew open.

Everything looked fuzzy at first, but when her vision cleared, she saw who was in front of her.

“Jeremy? Why are you here?”

Her voice came out rough and a bit confused.

“Of course I’m here. Do you remember what happened before you passed out?” Jeremy asked, his tone filled with worry.

The doctor had already told him multiple times that she was fine–just a mild concussion, nothing serious.

Jeremy wasn’t so lucky, though. When the car lost control, he’d covered her with his body, taking most of the impact himself. His hand ligaments got strained, and his arms were scraped up badly.

Even with that, he couldn’t relax. He kept thinking maybe she had some hidden injury.

So the second Amelia opened her eyes, he was already on edge.

“I’m okay. Just a small headache,” she said softly.

But the word headache sent Jeremy into full panic mode. He immediately hit the call button.

“Doctor! Hurry! We need another MRI right now!”

“Oh, stop it,” Amelia said, grabbing his hand before he could call anyone else. “It’s not that serious. I just woke up. Feeling a bit dizzy is normal. You’re overreacting.”

Now fully awake, her mind started piecing things together.

As a doctor herself, she knew her body was fine.

She remembered the ambush. During the fight, someone must’ve messed with their car when no one was looking.

That was why they backed off afterward. Jeremy and Amelia had been careless.

And right before they hit that tree, Jeremy had thrown himself over her to shield her, so she came out completely unscathed.

“Jeremy, are you alright? What did the doctor say?” Amelia asked, worry written all over her face.
