Isabella slept in the infirmary for half a day. When she woke up, she saw

Gordon playing games beside her. She opened her mouth and tried to speak

but felt like something was lodged in her throat.

Gordon glanced at her and quickly noticed she was awake. He smiled. “Hey.”

Isabella nodded and gulped, the pain making her frown. “Thanks.”

Gordon clicked his tongue. He didn’t like it when she was being so formal: Still,

he got up and summoned a doctor to check on her.

“She’s fine, She can ingest food now. Just make sure it’s nothing heavy.”

Isabella couldn’t even interject. So, Gordon ended up becoming her

She didn’t want to beat her battered body up any further, so she ate silently.

Gordon looked at her. He kindly didn’t mention the unhappy affair the night

before. Isabella didn’t want to ignore it, however. “Thanks for helping me,

Gordon.”

“Verbal gratitude means nothing.” Gordon cocked his eyebrow.

Isabella choked on her words. A moment later, she said, “I know. I have

She tossed away the Q-tip that she was pressing against the hole left by the

needle as she said, “I gotta go back to work. I’m going to get my *ss

He clicked his tongue and waved dismissively. “Then, get back to work. You’re

Isabella smiled as she said, “I’m not as poor as you think. I can afford a meal.”

“And I can pick the food?” Gordon played with his phone, his eyes glinting.

Isabella nodded. “Yes.”

“Deal.” Gordon snapped his fingers and put a hand in his pocket. Then, he

stood up. “I’m taking you home myself.”

Isabella paused for a moment. “I can go home by myself.”

“You’re treating me to dinner. I can’t let a patient go home by herself,” he
