Chapter 109

Jocelyn reluctantly retraced to the hospital room. She shouldn’t be there anymore.

Unable to contact anyone else, she hesitantly picked up Melvin’s phone. It was unlocked with facial recognition.

She held the phone up to his face, but it didn’t unlock with his eyes closed After a failed attempt, it prompted her to enter a password:

“His fever’s dropped a bit He should be sleeping now.”

The nurse left after changing the medication and checking the IV in his hand.

Jocelyn saw Melvin’s hand resting outside the covers and moved to tuck it in. The bite mark on his hand hadn’t faded. The scar was faint, and she wondered if it would ever disappear

He once said he was still her man as long as the bite mark remained.

Swallowing the sourness rising in her throat, she tried not to dwell on the past. She gently called out, “Melvin?” But the man showed no signs of waking
