"Ivy, what happened?" Ryan asked anxiously the moment he walked into Ivy's hospital VIP ward.

He had rushed over the moment Ivy called and said she had been injured. Looking at her legs covered in bandages, guilt crept into him and squeezed his heart.

Ivy lay on the bed as the doctor tended to her.

"Ryan, you're here," she said in a soft pitiful voice. "Don't worry, I'm fine, the injuries are not serious."

Hearing her say that when she was clearly in pain filled Ryan's heart completely with guilt.

He glanced at the doctor and inquired, "Doctor, tell me her condition. How is she?"

The doctor who happened to be Ivy's physiotherapist, Richard Hart, looked at Ryan and sighed.

"Why was Miss Williams left alone without help? It could have been dangerous and life-threatening," Doctor Richard said. Ryan's heart jumped into his throat. Life threatening?

He never wanted to experience someone dying because he couldn't protect them again. It was the worst feeling ever. "Is she ok?" He asked the doctor.

Doctor Richard nodded and replied, "She's fine now but her legs are injured. She needs extra care in the next few days." Ryan let out a sigh of relief. He asked again, "What about her legs? Any hope that she will start to use her legs soon?"

The doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and responded, "Miss Williams is slowly gaining sensation in her legs, Mr Kingsley, so these burns must be very painful. It's easy for her to start from the beginning if she keeps getting injured like this. She needs extra care or she may never walk again if she keeps getting trauma to her legs."
