Lila’s POV
I didn’t like Connie, but I never wanted something terrible to happen to her. Not like this.
There was a void in Enzo’s eyes, and I knew something was seriously wrong; he had just gotten terrible
news and my heart ached for him. I stared at him for a moment, wondering what could be wrong.
Connie was missing; I wanted to go and find her, but he told me that his Beta was dealing with it. I
hated that. Why wouldn’t he let me go out and look for her myself?
I was infuriated that he was trying to protect me from all things danger.
“Enzo…? I asked once it was clear he wasn’t going to say anything.
He finally looked at me, meeting my eyes.
“Connie is in the hospital.”
“What?” I gasped. “Why? What happened.”
“She got into an accident.”
“Oh, my goddess. We have to go to her,” I said, rushing toward the door.
Enzo followed closely behind me, not even daring to argue.
It didn’t take us long to get to the hospital. We took the rental car except I was the one who drove. Enzo
was in no shape to drive at this moment.
Once we were at the hospital, Enzo finally snapped back into reality and rushed toward the first doctor
he saw.
He gave Connie’s full name, and the doctor looked her up in the system before finding her room
number.
We thanked him and then went toward the rooms until we found her room number.

Connie lay in bed, she wore a hospital gown, and I could see that she was wrapped in bandages
underneath the gown. Her hair was left down and very mingled; she looked much paler than I had last

seen her and much thinner. Not to mention she had some bruising around her jawbone and cuts on her
cheeks and temples.
Connie wore no makeup which made her appear to be a completely different person.
Most importantly, she was awake with a ton of IV bags in her body.
“Connie…” Enzo breathed as he rushed toward her bedside.
She looked surprised to see either of us. Her eyes flickered between him and then me.
“Enzo?” She breathed. “How did you know that I was here?”
“I had Beta Ethan look into It,” he explained. “Connie, what happened to you?”
“I was in the cab, and we got into a huge accident I was told…” she breathed. “I’m not entirely sure what
happened. My memory is very foggy. One minute I was in the back seat of the cab and heading to the
airport and the next thing I knew I was flipping upside down and then everything went black. When I
woke up, I was here.”
“I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is my fault for making you leave. If I hadn’t…”
“Enzo, it isn’t your fault,” she said quickly, reaching her hand out to touch Enzo. “It’s mine. Almost dying
made me realize that I don’t want to lose you as a friend and I’m so sorry that I hurt you. I should have
never done what I did, and I will never forgive myself. I hope that maybe one day you can forgive me…”
He was hesitant for a moment; I knew there was still a lot for them to talk about, but I also knew that he
was majorly relieved that she was okay.
He glanced at me briefly and then back at her.
“Let’s just focus on getting you better,” he said softly.
She released a few tears before nodding her head.
“That sounds like a good plan,” she said in return. “I’m already feeling better, honestly.”
“That’s great to hear,” he said to her.
Soon, the nurse came into the room to give her some antibiotics and other medications.
“You’ll need plenty of rest. I think you should stay here for another day or so and then you should be
ready to go home,” the nurse said proudly.
She left after a few minutes.
“You’ll stay with us until you are ready to return home,” I suggested quickly before I could even stop
myself.
Both Connie and Enzo looked at me surprised.
“It’s the least we can do,” I said with a shrug. “Besides. You’ll be in no condition to fly for a few days, and
you’re checked out of your hotel by now.”
“Are you sure? After what I did—”
“Yes, I’m sure,” I said, waving my hand in dismissal. “I honestly insist. I’m just glad that you are safe and
sound. Please, stay with us for a few days.”
She thinks about it for only a moment before a smile spreads across her lips and she nods.
“I would like that. Thank you so much.”
“Of course.”
We hugged out in her hospital room for a little while longer before heard Connie’s stomach growling.
Come to think of it, I was quite hungry as well.
“Is there anything to eat?” I asked Enzo who was working on some business objectives via his phone in
the chair across the phone.
He looked at the clock across the hallway.
