NovelEnglishFortunately, the tension was interrupted when the nurse who had been in earlier cinto the room pushing a
medical cart.
Summoned by Marco to change the IV drip, she noted the strained atmosphere between the two. Clearly, they
hadn’t made up yet.
Internally, the nurse sighed. These love-struck fools were really giving their supporters a tough time!
The nurse then turned to Loraine, a smile on her face. “Miss Torres,
Mr. Bryant is right to be worried. Although the risk of infection or inflammation during an IV infusion is minimal, it
does exist. It's best to exercise caution, especially concerning the needle puncture and infusion tube. Any
contamination could allow bacteria to directly enter your body, and that can be quite serious.”

The nurse's earnest words were daunting, causing Loraine to freeze. She didn’t even realize that Marco had
quietly taken her hand again.
Marco smirked, “Did you hear that? Listen to the nurse.”

He appeared to delight in her disquiet.
Feeling irked, Loraine turned her head to glower at him.
“It’s none of your concern!”
Marco, however, was unfazed by her scolding. On the contrary, he seemed pleased that Loraine was willing to
engage with him, accepting her rebuke with calm.
Seeing this, the nurse smiled contentedly. She then proceeded with her tasks, replacing Loraine’s almost empty
IV bag and checking her temperature, which had lowered.
Expertly, she swapped it with a new bag of medication and reassured
Loraine, “The fever has subsided. You should start feeling better once you receive the saline drip.”
Loraine coughed and thanked her.
The nurse glanced at Marco and suggested to Loraine with a knowing smile, “Perhaps you should be thanking
him.”
Loraine was taken aback and unsure how to respond.

The nurse's words lingered in Loraine’s ears, complicating her feelings further.
“Mr. Bryant brought you to the hospital during the heavy rain, and he’s stayed by your side all afternoon,
attentively caring for you. Your rapid recovery from the fever is also thanks to his diligent and thoughtful
attention.”
Hearing this, Loraine glanced at Marco and indeed noticed his rumpled clothes and missing coat. It was clear he
had stayed by her side ever since they returned from the cemetery.
She felt a twinge of irritation. Couldn't he take better care of himself? Wasn't he worried about getting sick?
She found herself remembering when Aldo had been in the hospital, and when Rowan had been injured and
admitted, Marco had stayed quietly by her side, keeping vigil throughout the night.
Just like Jimmie and Slater had suggested, if Marco's intentions had been purely self-serving, would he have gone
to such lengths?
