Ashton nodded. “Are you hungry?”

I suddenly felt as though he was the one taking care of me instead of the other way round.

I parroted his question back to him. “Are you hungry?”

Cameron stirred in her sleep and woke up. She stared at Ashton and I for a few seconds before looking at the time on her phone.

Seeing that it was already past noon, she got up and poured me a glass of water. “Here, drink something. Your father went home to make lunch. He should be back any minute.”

I froze for a moment before taking the glass of water from her. I turned to Ashton and asked, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any better?”

He nodded. “It doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”

Cameron got up and headed to the toilet. When she came back out, she wiped her hands on a paper towel and asked, “What do the both of you fancy for lunch?”

Ashton shook his head, expressing his indifference. He turned to me and asked, “Do you have anything you want to eat?”

I thought for a while before shrugging. “Anything’s fine!”

Off the top of my head, I couldn’t think of anything I really wanted to eat.

Cameron picked up her bag and left the room. My phone, which I had neglected since coming into the hospital, rang loudly all of a sudden. Emery was calling me.

She sounded rather sharp over the phone. “How are you doing? Are you feeling alright? Which hospital did they send you to?”
