By the time they arrived at Silas's house, Tabitha had already fallen asleep. After crying in Silas's arms, who comforted her by patting her back and making her comfortable, she drifted into slumber.

During the drive to his house, Silas observed Tabitha sleeping peacefully in his arms. Upon reaching his house and parking the car, he carefully lifted her out, mindful not to wake her. However, Tabitha stirred awake in Silas's embrace.

Recalling how she ended up in Silas's arms, Tabitha met his gaze, squinting against the sunlight as they made their way to his building.

“Tabitha,” Silas smiled at her, and she instinctively raised her hands to hold his neck.

“Why are you doing this for me?” Tabitha asked, still finding it difficult to rely on Silas. The fear of betrayal lingered from her family's actions.

Thinking about her family made Tabitha sick, so she placed thoughts about them at the back of her mind.
