Chapter 942

The one who falls in love first always loses.

Hanna fell first, so she was destined to lose.

Rowan fell for Anastasia before she ever noticed him-so he lost, too.

Hanna grumbled as she fixed up Rowan's wound yet again.

"Your stitches keep splitting open and healing up, then splitting again. I'm telling you, if it happens one more time, I'm out of tricks. Can't you try taking better care of yourself?"

Rowan's wounds were red and swollen, refusing to heal. Every time the stitches were removed and redone, it just made things worse-more pain for him, and more risk of infection.

Last night, Rowan came home with a fever from an infection, barely able to keep his eyes open.

He'd need at least three months of rest to fully recover, the doctor said.

Hanna's heart ached for him, but she was secretly a little relieved, too.

She hated seeing him suffer, but his injury meant he had to stay put. She could watch over him every day.

Her hands were gentle, doing her best not to hurt him.

Rowan didn't make a sound the whole time. His mind was somewhere else, lost in memories of Anastasia's embrace he could almost feel her scent and warmth still lingering in the air.

Anastasia finally met up with Herman.
