Loraines heart ached at the sight, her worry mirroring the anxiety she felt while waiting outside Rowans emergency room.
Anxiously, she asked, How is he? Will he be okay?
The nurse smiled and said, He was grazed by a bullet. Your boyfriend was lucky that he didnt get directly shot.

When the nurse finished bandaging the wound, she offered a kind smile and joked, Its all right. Your boyfriend is tough enough to handle this. But he should stay in the hospital for further observation.
Loraine knew Marcos tendency to bear pain and refuse hospitalization so she agreed on his behalf.

Inadvertently, she took a step back as her heart began to race.
Upon seeing this, Marco sighed and lowered his eyes.
I want to change my clothes, but if you dont want to help me, you can help me find a caregiver who can do it.
He purposefully said so because he was aware she had a sympathetic soul.
Biting her lip, Loraine stared at him.
