Whole ward fall into pin-drop silence, They do not dare to breathe so loudly fearing breaking the tranquillity of this comforting silence.
"Answer me, Sandra, Do you agree with these rules or have you decided to give up the struggle of proving your innocence?"
A sharp words from Alex broke the comforting silence of the ward as he with authority asked Sandra what she wants to do now.
Sandra hears the words and becomes panicked, she knows what giving up means, He is asking her to go separate ways, Which she is unwilling to do.
"No, Never, Trust me Alex I didn't have any ill intent towards yo-"
She became anxious as she was quick on clearing her name trying to tell alex that she is not the bad woman he thinks she is.
"Stop, You just have to answer in yes or no. If you don't like that, You are free to walk away."
But Alex's cold words pour cold water on her desire to find another way to avoid hitting him.
