The room was quiet now. There was no one else in the room except him.
Is she not around? He lowered his eyes gently and stared at his empty hands.
Even if he had forced her to stay in the mansion, she still
would not stay with him. Just like his father and mother.
Though he had desperately begged them to stay, they still left
him in their own way.
Am I going to be all alone after all?
Alone, just like before Why should I care? Wasnt I alone
before I met her?
The only person I can rely on is myself!
However, even if he thought so, there was still a pain
spreading throughout his body as if there were dense needles pricking him.
just then, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure
walked in.
Jason stared blankly at the approaching figure with a touch of
surprise in his eyes.
Huh? Youre awake. Ive just made some porridge. I meant to give it to you when you woke up later. Grace put the porridge. on the bedside table beside him as she spoke. Naturally, she
reached out her hand to his forehead.
Hmm, his temperature has dropped. It still feels a little hot though, but its much better than before.
Your temperature has dropped. Ill take your temperature
with the ear thermometer later, said Grace.
Did you go to make porridge? murmured Jason.
She said, Yes, I calculated the time and knew you were going
to wake up soon, so I went down to make porridge. However, you woke sooner than I expected. The porridge is still a little hot. Let it cool for a while before you eat.
He replied hoarsely, Okay. Have you. been in this room all
this time?
Where else could I go? she asked, especially when he had nightmares earlier and slept restlessly. From time to time, he would stammer something and she had to play along and
reply to him so he could sleep well.
After seeing that he was sleeping better, she found time to go to the kitchen and make some porridge.

Jason stared blankly at the woman in front of him. The pain spreading in his body seemed to be disappearing bit by bit.
She was here all along. She was with me all along. Im not
alone!
He opened his arms and wrapped them around her waist. He pressed his face against her lower abdomen as he gently closed his eyes. Its a good thing you didnt leave me.
Grace stiffened immediately. Jasons hug was not that tight. She knew that she could push his hands away with just a little
push.
However, her hands seemed so heavy now that she could not
lift them to push him away.
Is it because Im overwhelmed by his vulnerability and
attachment?
Grace froze and let Jason hold her. Sometime later, he finally loosened his arms when the porridge had turned cold.
Eat your porridge. She finally managed to find her voice. Then, she filled a bowl of porridge from the pot with a small spoon and handed it to him.
He raised his hand to take it, but he was so weak that the bowl of porridge in his hand almost toppled onto the bed.
