Joseph’s expression twisted into a sneer. “Would you be willing to do it if it were Icarus?”

bitterness.

After Joseph left, he did not appear again until she was discharged from the hospital.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The caregiver who had been taking care of her accompanied her to Aesper and stayed at her house for two more days. Only when she saw that Chloe was moving around with ease did she finally feel at ease to leave.
