Sylvia's POV:

I gave Rufus a meaningful look. "Now you know how I feel, right? So you should also take care of yourself. Don't think for a second that I don't know what kind of a man I fell in love with."

As crazy as it sounded, the story was true.

When he came back, he was so seriously injured that he had blacked out into a coma for three whole days. He almost didn't survive that ordeal.
