Chapter 8

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a hospital bed.

A scream pierced the air beside me.

Joy rushed over, her face brimming with excitement, and hugged me while crying.

"Jade, you're finally awake!"

"Do you know you've been in a coma for 18 days?"

"If you didn't wake up soon, Archer was going to die right in front of you!"

I weakly murmured, "Archer..."

Joy quickly reassured me.

"He's here, he's here. The doctor just sent him back to get some sleep. Oh, you'll see him soon enough. This car accident of yours really put that man through hell!"

While the doctor examined me, Joy kept talking non-stop in my ear.

I was in the ICU for three days fighting for my life.

Archer stood guard outside the door for those three days.

He didn't eat a single bite, nor did he leave the hospital for even a step.

When I was finally wheeled out, he collapsed backward, scaring everyone half to death.
