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.

Without a word, Owen walked over, pulled her into his arms, and asked, “Where did you go?”

“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?
