In the hospital, Braelynn was sitting on the sofa in the ward as she held her mobile phone absent-mindedly while glancing at Richard on the hospital bed from time to time.
He cried out weakly with his eyes closed, "Water..."
She immediately got up and brought a glass of water to his lips. He drank a few mouthfuls of water and opened his eyes weakly. When he saw her, he said in confusion, "Miss... Miss Saunders? Am I dreaming? I must be! She hates me so much, so there's no way she got me water!"
He muttered as he reached out to grab her hand and closed his eyes, "I really am dreaming. If I were awake, she would never let me grab her hand."
She was stunned as she looked at him. She had only seen his cheeky and playful side, so it was rare to see him so weak and vulnerable.
She actually wanted to take her hand away, but when she recalled that he fell ill because he was pushed into the river by her, she stopped abruptly.
