Jared came over with my meds and said softly, “Let’s go. We’ll head back.”

I got up, feeling chilled to the bone. The coat I had on wasn’t keeping me warm at all.

Just then, a trench coat was gently draped over my shoulders. I froze for a second and glanced at Jared.

“Just wear it. Don’t complain,” he murmured, then led me toward the car.

“You’re this sick, and where’s your little boyfriend?” Jared sneered as we got into the car.

He took the opportunity to mock me as soon as we sat down.

I didn’t want to admit that Ryan and I had already broken up, so I just muttered, “He’s busy with work. I didn’t want to bother him.”

Jared let out a couple of dry laughs but didn’t say anything else.

When we got home, Jared told me to head upstairs first while he went out to pick up something to eat.

I obediently did as he said and went inside. Jared used to go everywhere with his assistant, but this time, he must’ve been in such a rush he didn’t even bring his driver along.

I sat at home, not liking how quiet it was, so I turned on the TV.
