A Hidden Past and Connection?

Day Fourteen…

~~*****~~

Aiden was panting so hard after returning to Stephen's spot. "She left… I was not able to catch up with her."

"Just let her be. I think she wants to be alone for now," Stephen plainly said as he pressed the button of the elevator. Nathan's ward was on the seventh floor along with Phantomflake's ward.

"You can go ahead to Nathan's ward. I will just drop by somewhere." Stephen stopped on his track, turning in the opposite direction.

"Eh? Don't tell me you are going to visit Phantomflake?!" Aiden's eyes widened in realization.

Stephen just smiled at him meaningfully, not confirming nor denying it.
