"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 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?"

"Don't say that, you deserve the best care," Ryan replied and glanced at the doctor, waiting for an answer. "Um... I don't know any for now, but I'll ask
