Chapter 1234


    ric was a dead weight, and Georgia, thin as a rail, could barely budge him.


    When she finally heaved him up, creating some space from Hertha, Georgia''s strength gave out. Her


    grip slipped, and ric crashed down on top of Hertha.


    Hertha groaned in pain, frowning in difort.


    ric stirred slightly, then rolled off and sprawled onto the bed, regaining a bit of consciousness.


    Georgia''s heart raced, her hand pped over her mouth, terrified that ric or Hertha would wake up.


    After a few tense seconds, Herthay still as a statue, showing no signs of waking.


    ric, on the other hand, took deep breaths with his eyes shut tight in difort, his brow furrowed.


    He pressed a hand to his forehead, seemingly shielding his eyes from the piercing light of the room.


    Seeing that both were still out cold, Georgia''s anxiety settled.

    Georgia looked at ric''s handsome face and thought of her n.


    With determination, she strode forward, closed the door, and ignored Hertha, who was out like a light


    on the other bed.


    Whatever Georgia was about to do with ric on the other bed wouldn''t be Hertha''s concern.


    Just as she reached thest button, ric suddenly lifted his hand and grasped Georgia''s wrist.


    His palm was feverish, the heat sending a shiver through Georgia''s heart, her pulse racing.


    Breathless, she nced at ric nervously. Co?tent of Dr?manovеls
