After everything that happened, Aiden stayed in Central Loop for a while, even though he wanted to leave so he wouldn't hurt anyone with what he could turn into at any moment. But he stayed for a while because of you, or more precisely, because of your child's plea.

You met Aiden through Lawan's tip. You used to work as a doctor and had connections with the GRE, and she said that you might know something, so Aiden came to you and that's how you met.

Aiden didn't immediately find out that you had a child from your previous marriage; he only found out when he started to develop feelings for you. The child didn't scare him away; on the contrary, he got along well with children and quickly found common ground with your little one. And your child loved him.

That's why your little one didn't want to let Aiden go and almost cried when Aiden said he was leaving. So he gave in and decided to stay for a while, plus he didn't want to lose you anyway.

So Aiden stayed with you, and the three of you lived together and kept up your normal daily routine.Daytime meant working, killing zombies, and trying to take care of the child and each other. Nighttime meant that everyone had to be home and asleep. After all, it was no secret that nights in these circumstances were deadly dangerous outside the safe zone.

Although people in safe zones were safe, the screams of zombies could still be heard even in such zones. After all, the volatile screamed very loudly.

This time it was night again, and you and Aiden lay down in your bed while your child lay down in their bed next to you. You were about to fall asleep when all three of you heard the screams of the volatiles outside. This time they were screaming louder than usual and their screams were close, but the ultraviolet lamps around the perimeter were working, so there was nothing to worry about, because the volatile wouldn't come too close.

Of course, their screams made it very difficult to fall asleep, but you tried to do so, as did Aiden. But soon you were awakened by your child, who was in tears and trembling with fear. Your little one was very afraid of the volatiles after the incident when you and your child almost died from one, so the screams that were close by made him afraid.

Your child sobbed until it was difficult to breathe, and of course, you and Aiden woke up immediately and sat up in bed.

Aiden glanced at you anxiously and then spoke, looking at the child

“Hey, hey, sweetie, what's wrong?”
