In the hospital, Maggie was having lunch with Sanford.
Afterward, he pulled her into bed to rest alongside him.
âI shouldnât lie down with you.
I might touch your wound.
â Maggie felt a bit uncomfortable and tried to sit up.
Sanford tightened his hold on her waist and smiled.
âDonât worry.
You wonât hurt me.
I know youâre a still sleeper.
â
A pang of pain shot through her waist.
Maggieâs expression froze and she hissed involuntarily.
Sanfordâs smile faded and he asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing.
â Maggie smiled awkwardly and shifted her body slowly.
Sanford narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
He quickly lifted her top and saw a large bruise on her waist.
His eyebrows furrowed as he asked, âHow did you get hurt so badly? Did you bump into the table this morning?â
Maggie quickly tugged her clothes down and assured, âIâm fine.
â
Seeing her strained face, Sanford felt a pang of guilt.
âEllie, go to the nurseâs station and ask for some bruise relief medication.
â
âAlright .
â
Ellie quickly returned with the medication.
Sanford took the medicine and said to Maggie, âLie down.
Iâll apply this for you.

âNo, thanks.
I can do it myself,â Maggie replied hurriedly.
âYou canât reach the wound yourself.
Itâs on your back.
â Sanford began to rise from the bed.
Maggie stopped him at once.
âYouâre still injured.
â
Hearing this, Ellie offered, âI can help.
â
âItâs okay.
I can manage.
â
âSanford, donât move! Either I do it myself, or Ellie helps me!â Maggie held his hand firmly.
Seeing her insistence, Sanford smiled.
âAlright, Ellie, please assist her.
Thank you.
â
He felt warm knowing that she was worried about him.
