"Yes?" "I'm not feeling well. Can you takedown the mountain?" "Of course." Gilbert looked down at her, caressing her cheek. Cold, isn't it? Her hands were cold too.
He couldn't delay, picking her up and quickly descending the mountain.
Opening the car door, he placed her inside. He then opened a bottle of water for her, bringing it to her lips, "Take a sip." "Okay." Sherilyn managed to have swater before shaking her head, refusing more.

But seeing her pale face, he didn't dare to ask, instead, he stroked her hair, "Close your eyes, rest for a bit." "Okay." Sherilyn nodded, leaning back with her eyes closed.

In exceptional cases of the truly heartless, of course! In the silence, Sherilyn gently opened her eyes and gazed at him with a puzzled expression. "Awake?" Gilbert touched her face, feeling swarmth returning.
Somewhat relieved, he wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "You had a nightmare, so I had to stop and hold you, comfort you. Feeling a bit better?" In truth, Sherilyn hadn't been fully asleep, her consciousness in a limbo.
