Aston recalled the time he heard that Nicole was admitted to a hospital. The moment he heard the word 'hospital', his haunting past resurfaced. The time his mother dragged him up the mountains. Though he survived, he was hospitalized for months, which leads to his separation from Aria.
"I wasn't okay but... I brace myself to come here. I would never leave you in this condition just because of my fears and trauma." He forced a little smile, looking at Nicole. "I will be fine as long as you're with me."
"I will also be fine after a few days. You don't have to push yourself so hard." Nicole calmly said.
"Even the last time I was hospitalized, I was fine. Don't worry." Aston assured her.
"What do you hate the most? I mean, about hospitals." Nicole asked. She knew his story but... she wasn't sure of the answer to this question.
