Chapter 346 : Does He Love Me, Too?

*Lauren*

Lucas woke me up just after sunrise that morning before leaving for work. Despite the pain from the injury, I slept well that night. The pain medication the doctor had prescribed to me yesterday before leaving the hospital I’m sure helped me to rest. Plus, I was exhausted from all that I had gone through.

Once I woke up, my ankle still hurt, and I was still a little dizzy from the concussion. The medication must have worn off after doing what it needed to during my sleep. I could feel another headache coming on. I told him all this when Lucas asked me how I was feeling.

“Are you sure that you’ll be okay with me not being here?”

I wasn’t, but I wasn’t going to admit that to Lucas. Though I wanted him to stay, I didn’t want to interfere with his duties at work. “I’ll be alright. Just need to take it easy and rest.”
