Hailey felt surprisingly refreshed. She got up to freshen up, then walked out of the hospital room, intending to grab some food from a nearby café.

“I went to buy breakfast,” Hailey replied innocently, blinking up at him. She stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss on the nose, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Owen, don’t tell me you’re upset because you woke up and didn’t see me?
