章節 47: Kindness that Hurts

Like some sort of a light at the end of the tunnel, their one final shot in getting out of that deserted road arrived at long last. 

Much to their relief and pleasant surprise, the scheduled bus for the evening showed up. Though Cassidy silently wished it could've come before the rain poured down, she was still grateful that it came. Its arrival is probably the only good thing that happened today.

"This is great, bossman! We can finally leave!" she enthused with a grin, already forgetting the horrors that she went through.

Adrian takes a second to glance at his wife, a bit taken aback by how she seems to smile so easily even after all that. She may look a little exhausted, but the glimmer in her beaming eyes still has this unparalleled brilliance that can light up a whole city.

"Yeah, it is. Shall we get going, then?" Adrian asked before standing up and offering his hand to her, a small smile gracing his features all the while.
