96.
PERCY'S POV.
I reached for the wet towel and peeled it off my forehead, placing it beside the lamp on the table. I movement caught my attention from the corner of my eyes and I turned to find Vera sitting in the chair next to the bed.
"Heey...."
She called, putting away her phone.
"Hey..." I called back.
"How are you feeling now?"
Then she reached over and felt my forehead.
"Good, the fever has reduced. "
She beamed
"Thank you for being here.... taking care of me.."
"Shhhh....it's fine..don't day anything. The least I can do is take care of you considering it's practically my fault you're in this situation. Percy I really am sorry. I never intended to come between you and Phoebe. I mean I never thought bringing Xita to you would cost you a great deal.."
Her eyes were fill with sadness.
"It's not your fault. You did the right thing and I'm grateful you didn't keep her away from me.."
