Matthew offered a gentle smile. “Quite the handful, your two friends.”
Stella chuckled softly. “You’re not wrong.”
The next day, Miley blinked awake in the sterile white of the hospital room, a nurse meticulously replacing her IV drip.
“Ah, good morning,” the nurse chirped, noticing Miley stir. “Any aches or pains?”
Miley had been unconscious for the whole night. She felt fuzzy and disoriented.
Images flickered behind her eyelids-a helicopter, flashing lights, Neville. “Where’s Neville? The man who was brought in with me. Is he alright?”
The nurse’s smile dimmed. “Mr. Pierce is badly injured. Still haven’t managed to wake him yet.”
Miley attempted to push back the covers. “I need to see him,” she insisted, ignoring the protest in her aching body.
But the nurse held her down. “Your boyfriend is pretty weak right now, dear. Wouldn’t do much good for you to see him just yet. Can’t hurt to wait a bit, right? He has been hurt before. I don’t think he will be recovering any time soon.”

As she worked, the nurse’s voice softened. “You’re a good girl, sticking with him through all this and his illness.”
Miley frowned, confusion etching lines across her forehead. “What do you mean by illness? His leg healed, didn’t it?”
The nurse hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. She realized Miley was unaware.
“His previous injury…There’s something wrong, isn’t there?” Seizing on the nurse’s silence, Miley pressed further.
Reluctantly, the nurse met Miley’s gaze. “He has lost his sexual function for the time being.”
Miley’s breath caught in her throat.
The nurse, realizing she might have said too much, quickly picked up her tray. “You’ve just woken up. Try to rest a bit more. If you need anything, just press the call button.”

Miley lay still, her mind reeling from the shock.
The nurse left quietly, closing the door behind her.
Sitting on the bed, Miley’s mind was a whirl of thoughts. She reflected on recent events with Neville, especially his abrupt breakup proposal when he was injured.
Could his injury be the reason he ended things, not because he didn’t love her anymore?
Driven by a need for answers, Miley hastily removed her IV and set out to find Neville.
After asking a nurse, she located his ward.
Gathering her courage, she was about to enter when the door suddenly opened.
A doctor exited, glanced at her, and departed without a word.
