Chapter 45: Giving You Space

Yujin stayed with me until the doctor arrived, then gave her space to give me a full examination. She took a few samples, and asked a frustrating amount of questions for someone who clearly already knew what had happened. I did my best to cooperate for as long as I could, and when she was finished I immediately fell asleep.

When I woke, it was dark. I was alone in the suite, so I took the opportunity to take a long, hot shower. I was feeling much better than before, but still a bit tender and dehydrated. I speculated how long I’d been asleep and how much I might have missed.

I dressed comfortably in leggings and a long cardigan, then started looking for where I left my phone. Upon finding and unlocking it, I immediately saw missed text messages from Elliot. In a panic, I tossed my phone on the bed and took a few steps back. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that he couldn’t get to me here.
