Chapter 218- an apology

In the hospital room, Laurent and Dave sat in silence for a while.

After being encouraged by his mother in the afternoon, Dave had started to come to terms with things, but deep down, he still felt awkward.

When a person's body is fragile, their heart often feels the same. Even someone as proud and strong as Dave couldn't escape that reality.

At this moment, Dave really, really wanted to hear Laurent say something like "I love you," even if it was only because he had saved her and she had come around. He just wanted to hear it.

Or at least, if she said something comforting, something to soothe him—anything would do.

His shoulder, where the wound was, had begun to itch and hurt again, and he felt miserable.

However, after a long silence, Laurent finally spoke up, saying,

"I never got the chance to thank you... thank you for saving me, thank you for taking the blow for me."
