The air at the rehab center was fresh, and the scenery was beautiful.

I booked the largest room available, where I could see the ocean just by lying in bed.

Sometimes I'd lie there for an entire afternoon.

Watching the sea breeze whip up waves, observing the ever-changing clouds in the sky ? it was quite fascinating.

The guy taking care of me was about my age, his name was Caelan.

I didn't like how that name sounded, and wanted to have him replaced, but he begged me on his knees.

Since I was in a top-tier hospital bed, the commission for caring for me was the highest, and he needed the money.

I softened.

During our casual chats,

It turned out he had a daughter too, but she was seriously ill, and his wife was looking after her now.

He was responsible for earning money at the rehab center, as male nurses were in short supply and paid well.

He showed me a photo of his daughter.

The little girl was absolutely adorable.

He said his daughter had a rare disease.
