The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 16

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

somewhat rakish, with thick eyebrows, almond–shaped eyes, and fair skin

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

circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous.

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.

She struggled to sit up halfway on the bed and looked around, only to find

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?”
