Josephine cried out, "Ah!"
"We haven't even started yet, why are you screaming?"
"Get lost. Can't you be a bit more serious?"
That night, Jay embraced Angeline all throughout. Perhaps it was because Angeline was in his arms that he found it much easier to analyze many things with great rationality. He was searching for a way out of his current predicament.
Finally, Jay made up his mind. No matter how much Angeline pushed him away when she woke up later, h e would remain stubborn about staying by her side.
In his words, "Baby, I don't have the courage to lose you, so I’ve decided to stay with you. Don't push me away. I won't be angry at you anymore. I’ll do everything you say, okay?
"I'll take you away and isolate you from all your worries. Will you be happier that way?"
Angeline was as light as a swallow. She was so light that it felt like she might fly away from Jay's arms by accident.
Jay could feel a stabbing pain in his heart when he realized Angeline's dramatic weight loss and her increasingly muddled consciousness. That made him
even more afraid of leaving her alone.
Early next morning.
Angeline was in such a deep sleep that Jay was afraid to even move an inch for fear that he would wake her. When he saw her sunken eyes and prominent dark circles, he knew that she was very much sleep-deprived.
He would let her get more rest if she could.
Unfortunately, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the ward.
