I have seen your naked body.

After Mr. Wales left, one of Augustine's friends stopped by to check on Charles.

Their conversation was brief, but it provided Charles with a much-needed distraction from the whirlwind of emotions he was experiencing.

Once he was alone again, he decided to take a little nap.

After a while of resting, Charles exhaled deeply, pushing himself upright.

His body still ached, but the need to see Augustine overpowered any discomfort.

With slow, deliberate steps, Charles made his way toward Augustine's hospital room, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and worry.

As he opened the door, his eyes lay on the sleeping frame of Augustine.

Charles let out a sigh, closing the distance between himself and Augustine.

Softly, he sat down on the edge of the bed, allowing the mattress to dip beneath his weight before deciding to lay down next to Augustine.
