Throughout the journey, tears streamed down her face relentlessly. The driver couldn't bear witnessing her distress and handed her a generous pack of tissues.

Despite in the middle of the night, Rena answered promptly, her voice gentle as she inquired, "Cecilia, what's wrong?”

Tears streamed down Cecilia's cheeks.
