Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 134 What A Thankless Task

I was really lucky, for I managed to get a ticket. Before boarding the train, I sent the estimated arrival time and the train information to Calvin.

Upon arriving at Ludshire, Calvin picked me up, and we headed straight to Ludshire General Hospital.

To my relief, Dominic wasn’t badly injured. Only his right arm was fractured, and it would be right as rain after a few months.

He must be extremely tired, for he had long since fallen asleep when I arrived at the hospital to visit him.

As I sat beside the hospital bed, I stared at his sleeping countenance. My emotions right then were a chaotic mess that I couldn’t quite put into words.

On my way there, I kept pondering why exactly he was in such a hurry to rush back.

Was it because I told him that his mother slapped me, or was it because he knew that I was waiting for him? No matter which reason it was, it was ultimately because of me, no? But that doesn’t quite fit his usual attitude and sentiments toward me. Nevertheless, he seems adamant about keeping me by his side. Why is that? I really don’t understand him or his motivations.

Perhaps I had pondered too much that I found it exceedingly convoluted, but I simply couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Logically speaking, I should be dead tired after having bustled around for half the day, rushing over to Ludshire from Lightspring. But for some reason, I wasn’t sleepy at all right then.

I sat by the bed and stared at Dominic with a hand propped against my head until the sky gradually lightened outside.

After having sat there for the entire day, my hands and feet were numb.

Yet, Dominic hadn’t awakened. I glanced at the time, only to see that it was already past seven.

I had no inkling when he was going to rouse, but I decided to go out and buy some breakfast back, in case he was hungry upon waking up.
