Chapter 30 Not the One He Chose

“I didn’t fall out of love.”

Hearing her say that, a strange unease crept into John’s heart.

It felt like she might really leave him.

But then he remembered how she’d done grueling work just to pay for his leg treatment, how she’d even taken two stab wounds for him–loved him more than her own life. That restless panic slowly faded.

She risked her life to save me. How could she possibly stop loving me?

“Just lie down and rest. I’ll go get some fever medicine.”

He noticed a delivery bag on the floor nearby. Guessing what might be inside, he quickly picked it up checked–sure enough, there were several boxes of medicine.

He took out two fever pills and poured some water. Carefully, he helped her sit up from the bed. “Lily, take these.”

Lily didn’t want him to feed her. She tried to take the pills herself.

But the fever made her vision blur and spin. Her hands were clumsy and uncoordinated—she couldn’t manage to take them from him. So she let him place the pills into her mouth himself.

“Lily, how do you feel now? If it’s still bad, we can go to the hospital.”

Of course the fever meds wouldn’t work instantly. She wasn’t suddenly back to her old, lively self.

She still felt terrible.

But the Lily who used to run to him over every minor discomfort, hoping for some comfort, was long gone. She’d grown used to him favoring Elsa, used to the coldness in his eyes.

They were broken up now. She wouldn’t act clingy anymore.
