When Hannah finally awoke, she found her hand cradled within another’s grip.
She raised her eyes to meet Bryson’s form, his face buried in his arms, which were resting on her bed, his well-defined hand clasping hers with unwavering support.
His disheveled hair obscured one of his eyes, rendering him a stark departure from the usual image of a CEO, appearing more like a recent college graduate, vulnerable and sincere.
With a delicate and barely perceptible movement of her finger, Hannah roused Bryson from his light slumber.
“You’re awake.”
Bryson stirred and hastened to assess Hannah’s condition.
“How are you feeling?”
As he leaned in closer, his handsome countenance filling her vision, Hannah’s words faltered.
“I… I…”
“What’s the matter?”
Concerned that Hannah might be unwell, Bryson drew nearer, extending a hand to feel her forehead.
“Do you have a fever?”
His warm breath caressed Hannah’s eyelashes, eliciting a tingling sensation that prompted an involuntary blink.
Bryson regarded her, his gaze falling upon her freshly moistened Lips that she had just lightly licked. He lowered his head slightly, his voice deepening.

“Bryson, Brayden informed me about Hannah’s accident, so I rushed here to…”
The young girl’s eyes widened as she took in the ambiguous tableau at the hospital bed and she fell silent abruptly.
Swiftly, she concealed her eyes with her hands and stepped back, stuttering, “I didn’t see anything, absolutely nothing!! I’ll leave now!”
The door shut with haste, dispersing the lingering tension in the room.
Hannah’s cheeks bore a somewhat unnatural flush as she turned her head away.
“Water.”
Bryson, a gleam of amusement in his eyes, turned to pour a cup of warm water for her, guiding it gently to her lips.
“Take care.”
