Chloe Reed was in a groggy sleep when she felt someone pushing her.
She groggily opened her eyes to see a figure standing by her bed. The wall lamp was dim, making the man’s silhouette a little blurry, but she still recognized him as Walker Grant.
She furrowed her brow and asked in a low, unhappy voice, "What are you doing?!"
She reached for her phone and glanced at the time—three in the morning!
’Is he crazy?’
’Standing here in the middle of the night scaring people instead of sleeping?’
"My wounds hurt."
The man’s voice was low. He sat directly on the edge of her bed and said, "You can apply my medicine."
Chloe Reed sat up, running a hand through her hair. "I thought you said you didn’t need it?"
"Now I do."
Walker Grant handed her the medical kit and then took off his shirt.
Only then did Chloe Reed notice he was wearing a tank top.
He took off the black tank top. The white gauze was stained with blood, and he had the smell of blood on him.
Chloe Reed stared blankly for a second before asking, "Did you tear your wounds open yourself instead of sleeping?"
Walker Grant looked at her, his sharp eyes dark and deep, but he said nothing.
Chloe Reed pursed her lips, moved closer, and began to unwrap the blood-stained gauze from his torso.
Some of the shallower wounds had scabbed over and were healing well.
But some of the deeper wounds were still oozing blood, and a faint metallic scent permeated the air.
Chloe Reed began to clean away the blood, disinfect the wounds, and apply the medicine...
She didn’t say a word the entire time.
After re-wrapping his torso in clean gauze and taping it down, she moved to get off the bed from his side to go to the bathroom.
But the next second, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her.
Chloe Reed’s entire body went rigid. "Let go."


Chloe Reed’s breathing was in disarray. His dominant aura was overwhelming, making her limbs go weak and forcing tears from her eyes.
