"Zachary..." Her tone was pitiful and choked with emotion. "I never meant to trouble you, but I have no family left. If you don't have time to stay with me, I'll have to rely on my godmother to take care of me. I don't want to be alone without someone close by during this time. Even though it's a small injury, I'm still very scared. I don't like being alone in the hospital, you know that."
Nina returned to the country because her grandfather was critically ill.
Not long ago, she had been in the hospital taking care of him, and that was how she ended up in his ward.
Her grandfather had been a driver for Sir Collins all his life.
Moreover, Sir Collins had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her separated from her grandfather, so they hadn't had the chance to spend time together.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Thus, he arranged for her to receive treatment in a VIP room.
Just a few days later, her grandfather passed away.
Nina had already gone through a lot while abroad, and now, sending her grandfather off in a place filled with the smell of disinfectant was undeniably painful. Furthermore, she had only her grandfather as family.
With him gone from the hospital, she hated the place even more.
Yet, because of Zachary, she had come to such a place many times. Zachary felt guilty toward Nina.
If it weren't for him, her grandfather wouldn't have sent her abroad.
Even though he had explained himself at the time, her grandfather wouldn't listen and insisted on sending
her away.
"Rest, I'll stay here with you," he said.
Nina's eyes brightened, glistening with tears.
Her frail body sank into the covers, her face as pale as the white blanket, looking pitiful like a stray dog waiting for a kind person to take it home and care for it. "Zachary, you really won't leave?"
Zachary felt a pang of reluctance, his voice softening, "No, I won't leave."
Nina closed her eyes.
Even if he left, the purpose of today had been achieved.
Her arm hadn't been hurt for nothing
The next day, when I woke up, there was no sign of Frank beside me.
I felt the temperature, it had already cooled down, indicating he had left early.

I glanced at the time, it was nearing noon.
1 got up to wash my face and changed clothes before leaving the room.
My mom was dressed neatly, about to take the kids out.
Seeing her made up, I asked, "Are you going on a date with Jason?"
"What are you thinking?"
Yasmin shot me a glance. "He's abroad, have you forgotten?"
I slapped my forehead. "I really forgot. Then, my dear mother, where are you off to?"
My mom replied, "I'm going to find Danny. He wanted to come here to stay yesterday, but I was afraid it would disturb you, so I didn't let them come. He's been asking for Sparrow since this morning, and Frank didn't want to wake you, so I thought I'd take Sparrow over." I recalled yesterday and felt a bit embarrassed, rubbing my face. "So, you won't be back for dinner tonight?
My mom shook her head. "We will, the baby needs to eat."
"But once he can eat solid food, it'll be easier for you. Unlike now prepare milk and store it in the fridge."
I smiled. "Is the driver arranged?"

My mom nodded. "Frank took care of everything. Your meals are on the table, go eat. We'll probably be back around four or five in the afternoon."
"Okay." I nodded, watching them leave.
I sat down at the dining table and messaged Frank.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Frank replied instantly, "Your tone doesn't sound friendly. I was being considerate of my wife, letting her sleep a bit longer. What's wrong with that?"
