Chapter 144

• Amelia:
• “How is he?” I asked the nurse at shift as I looked at the door where Kai was staying. The nurse looked at me, raised an eyebrow, her eyes curious yet annoyed. “Come on, I did not ask you to do anything but answer how he is. I'm not going to approach him and I'm not going to speak to him. You already told me that I cannot enter his room even if he is asleep. I'm simply asking if he is alright.”
• “He is fine, but I'm curious about why you keep on asking. You know that you are going to get in trouble if anyone hears of this. You should not even be roaming around here. You have your duties to be taking care of.” She said, and I looked away from her, choosing to ignore her words. “If anyone asks, I'm going to tell them that you came because you needed a painkiller, but this is the last time that I'm going to cover for you. If anyone hears that I'm conspiring with you or even answering your question when it comes to this, I am going to end up losing my spot. And I apologize, I do not intend to do so, especially not for you.”
