Nolan Morrison dropped a remark and left.
Mrs. Morrison closed her eyes, a look of pain flashed across her face.
The New Year long vacation was not yet over, many taxi drivers hadn't returned to work, and now in the middle of the night in Loch City, taxis were extremely hard to find. Nolan Morrison left the hospital and walked a long way without seeing a single taxi in sight.
Until a black private car stopped beside him.
Nolan Morrison turned his head to look, the car window rolled down to reveal Gabriel Johnny's face: "I'll take you home."
Nolan Morrison said nothing, opened the passenger door, and got in.
The car's air conditioner wasn't on, the temperature inside was slightly higher than outside but not by much.
Neither of them spoke, the silence in the car was almost excessive.
It was as if a passerby had caught a lift, and neither knew the other.
