Chapter 101

After Healer Kwan left, I sat on the bed, and stared at my bloody, dirty clothes, sitting in a pile on the floor, wondering how I was going to wear them again.

"You don't need to worry about that. I brought you a shirt?"

I raised my head and found Adam standing by the entrance, holding a crisp, white shirt by a hanger. "I have a spare shirt I always keep in the car in case of emergencies? This is an emergency...so.."
