Blamed

After Rye had joked around enough with Lucian, she started to feel the pain, and the doctor was called to check up on her. After that, the doctor examined her and gave a report of her condition before injecting her with pain killers.

Exhaustion, coupled with the drugs in her body, didn't make it hard for her to fall asleep, much to Rye's annoyance. She wanted to spend more time with Lucian, but it seemed that the condition of her body was greatly against it.

Once she was asleep, Lucian patted on her hair while wearing a gentle smile and getting up from the chair. It was about time he went home and cleaned himself up properly.

No matter how deep Valerie's or Rye's feelings for him ran, they ought to find him disgusting. He didn't need them to scrunch up their nose in his presence.
