Chapter 240 Despair

Cedric didn't wake up until the next day's evening.

Outside the window, the cold rain carried the scent of earth. Even the wind seemed damp.

The moment he opened his eyes, the stark white light stung his eyes. Memories in his mind kept pulling at his body, causing a numbing pain all over.

Rebecca was sitting on a chair by the bedside, already asleep. The moment she heard movement and opened her eyes, she saw Cedric running barefoot towards the exit.

Alarmed, she called out, "Ced, where are you going?"

She hurriedly followed after him.

The moment they stepped out of the ward, they saw Cedric entering the elevator at the far end of the corridor.

At that moment of eye contact, Rebecca clearly saw the hollow despair in Cedric's eyes. It mixed with the pallor of his face, making it extremely bleak.

Rebecca's heart raced in panic.

"Ced, wait! Wait for me..."

She hurried over, but Cedric seemed not to hear.

As the elevator doors closed, Rebecca tried to stop it with her hands.
