But the moment Keith shot her a glance-even though his expression remained calm and unreadable-Autumn instantly felt the weight of it.

There was pressure in his gaze, quiet but undeniable.

The cold had hit her hard.

Combined with her weakened immune system from the cancer meds, her condition quickly worsened.

After a round of tests, Autumn was completely drained.

Lying on the bed in the emergency room, her eyelids were growing heavier by the second.

Outside, voices rose in the hallway. She suddenly recognized a few of them.

“She’s in a lot more pain now, Hector-go find a doctor, quickly!”

“How is she hurting this much all of a sudden? Should we ask the doctor to run some tests?”

“I think we should. Even if they said it’s just a sprain, better safe than sorry. A scan tomorrow might give us peace of mind.”

“Enough chatter. We’ll deal with tomorrow when it comes. Right now, just get the doctor. We need someone to check on Luna!”

Instead, he poured her a glass of water. “The doctor said you need to stay hydrated. Sit up and drink a little.”

She didn’t have the strength to argue, so she leaned against his hand and took a few sips.

The cool water eased her throat.

He set the cup down and gently pulled the blanket up around her shoulders. “Get some sleep. You’ll feel better after resting.”

Her eyes were already heavy.

She closed them the moment her head hit the pillow, and soon, she drifted off.

When Autumn woke up again, it was already morning.

She instinctively touched her forehead-no more fever.
