Chapter 99

*****Erika's POV*****

I knocked on Jace's room door and heard his voice from the inside before pushing the door open to walk in.

He was lying on the bed, looking exhausted as if he had run a marathon.

I raised a questioning brow at him, "Why are you sweating so much? What did

you do, Jace?” I know I sound like a mother, but Jace was my top priority now. I just can't let any harm befall him.

He flashed me a smile with difficulty, before he replied, "I had a bath, and damn! I got exhausted."

I blinked, how could he get exhausted after having a bath?

"Are you alright?" I asked again, taking a step closer to him and making sure he was really alright. Jace nodded his head, but I knew it was a lie.

"Jace tell me the truth" I sat by his side, running a hand by the side of his face. He breathed in and out, his breaths were ragged.

"The truth is, I fell over in the bathtub and hurt my sides... it's bleeding again." At those words, my eyes widened and I cursed loudly.

"Why didn't you ask for help?!" I yelled as I sprinted to the other side of his room to get the first aid kit. I knew Jace never liked to bother anyone with his health, but

he had to understand that we're family and we take care of each other.

I returned to the bedside where he lay and ordered, “please lie on your side, I need to help you out with this."

He obliged and lay on his side. I gasp the moment I saw the side of his shirt soaked with blood.

"Oh no!" I began to slowly lift the shirt as he winced.

"You're exaggerating the stain." he chuckled, but I slapped his waist and earned a groan from him.

"Sorry." I stared at the gaping wound on the side of his stomach and felt my insides churn.

"How did the doctor even accept your discharge with such an injury on you?!" I yelled as I swallowed the lump in my throat and began to dress the injury.
