After a moment's hesitation, he approached, slid his arm around Camille in a comforting embrace, and
suggested, “Let's go home, darling. We should let Carrie have her rest.”
As Camille looked at Carrie's pale complexion, she bit back the harsh words meant for Kristopher and silently
followed Albin out.
Just as Kristopher was about to take a seat, Carrie, her eyes still shut, subtly turned her head away, murmuring,
“You should go, too. | need to be alone.”
Ignoring her request, Kristopher sat down beside the bed and extended his hand to hold hers.
Carrie attempted to pull her hand away. Kristopher, however, tightened his hold.
Carrie's eyes snapped open as she fixed him with a stern gaze. “Must you persist? Will you only stop if you see
Kristopher slowly let go of her hand, his voice softening as he said, “I'll keep my distance. | just want to sit with
