Abigail woke up in the hospital.

When she opened her eyes, a handsome face loomed way too close…

She was so startled that she quickly shut her eyes and slowly opened them

again. It was still the same face, but this time it was clearly smiling. He looked

that seemed blindingly white. Due to his porcelain fair skin, the two large dark

circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous.

“You’re finally awake.” Kevin let out a sigh of relief after watching Abigail’s

amber pupils transition from haziness to clarity. Then, he tilted his head back,

looking half–dead as he propped himself up on the hospital bed.

Kevin alone in the ward. She couldn’t pretend like she wasn’t moved by his

help when she asked, “You didn’t keep vigil the entire time, did you?”
