Busy with pack affairs, busy accompanying Ashley.
“I’m not busy lately.” He reached over to tuck my blanket. “I can take care of you these next few days.”
This was completely unexpected.
Over the following days, Ferris actually stayed at the hospital to care for me.
He adjusted my bed, fed me meals, even personally changed my bandages.

This tenderness made me feel like I’d returned to our most intimate period.
But I wouldn’t let myself get lost in it again.
‘d already decided to leave and wouldn’t look back.

everywhere.
Her eyes were red–rimmed, her voice trembling. “Did I… interrupt something?”
Ferris abruptly pushed me away. “Ashley, it’s not what you think.”
His movement was too sudden. Caught off guard, I fell backward off the hospital bed.
With a dull thud, the back of my head struck hard against the sharp corner of the bedside table, and blood immediately began lowing.
