章 182: Eerie silence of the night

*SELENE's PoV*

The night was filled with an eerie silence as the thunder struck in the clouds, signalling the onset of the monsoon. I sat in the ambulance with Channing and Dandeline as we went ahead to the hospital. 

Reaching there, they had quickly taken the two stretchers inside -one with Suzan on it and the other was rushed with Sam on it- I could not have the strength to wait for the other ambulances to arrive as I knew what they were going to bring in. "I am going to retire, for now, Channing," I said. 

Channing gave me a tight smile before giving me a hug, and I did not flinch at his touch this time. His hand came to settle on my head and I wanted to stay here in his warm hold for a longer time. 

I moved back from his hug, sensing the yearning inside him. "Go ahead. I will take care of things here," Channing said, patting the side of my head.
