“There you go; have a sweet dream.”

He was not used to being cared for, but he found himself feeling grateful as Loraine tended to him.
It was clear that she was worried about him.
As Loraine finished tucking him in, the room fell into an uneasy silence.

Feeling a bit awkward, she stood up and said, “I’m going to Leave now, so you can rest.”
But Marco stopped her. “Wait a second.”
He lowered his arm and sighed.
“Actually, I can’t sleep because the wound is bothering me.”
Loraine was taken aback. “Does it hurt? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
She quickly opened the small cab where the medicine was stored.
“Take some painkillers; they’ll make you feel better!”
As Marco watched her rush around, he felt warmth in his chest, content with the care she was giving
him.
But he shook his head and coughed. “No, thank you. I don’t really need them.”
“Why?” Loraine turned to Marco with a worried expression.
“These pills are not good for the body, so I’d rather endure the pain instead of taking them,” Marco
replied calmly.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed, “You’re right.”
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Loraine wanted tofort Marco, but words escaped her. After a brief
silence, she suggested, “Try to get some rest. You won’t feel the pain when you’re asleep.”
As Marco gazed at her perfect profile, he no longer felt sleepy.
Loraine sat next to him, her breath heavy with infatuation. He felt himself rxing under her spell
without even realizing it.
His fatigue slowly crept up on him. He then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Loraine stood up quietly, making sure Marco was asleep before closing the door and Leaving.
Returning to Rowan’s ward, Loraine checked on him to make sure he was alright, but found him still
awake.
