He must have been utterly heartbroken.
“Alright, I’ll stay with you,” Jamie relented, her heart softening.
It was just staying with a sick person for one night. If Ben didn’t get better, he probably wouldn’t be able to make it to the office the next day anyway.
Hearing her agreement, Ben’s grip on her hand loosened slightly.
Jamie kept her word, settling on the sofa beside him and draping a blanket over herself. Through the quiet night, Ben’s hand never let go of hers.
By the time dawn broke, they were still holding on to each other, as if that touch alone could ward off the pain and keep the world at bay.

The next morning, Jamie was woken by the sound of movement.
She opened her eyes to find herself still lying on the sofa. Instinctively, she glanced to her side, but the spot was already empty.
The helper entered with breakfast.
“Do you know where the man who was here went?” Jamie asked.
The helper, who had likely arrived early, looked slightly startled. “He left early this morning. He asked me not to wake you. He also took Charlie to school and said you could skip going to the office today.”
Jamie frowned and checked her phone.
The moment she saw the time, she almost fell off the sofa. It was already 10 a.m., two hours past the start of her workday.
So Ben, after being sick all night, had not only gotten up to take Charlie to school but had also gone straight to the office?
A wave of guilt washed over her.
She quickly finished breakfast and hurried to the company.
The assistant looked surprised when he saw her. “Miss Lewis, why are you here? Mr. Lucas said you were taking the day off. I thought you wouldn’t be coming in.”
