“G?” Zion called in surprise
He quickly walked toward the man at the door. He had thought it was a nurse, but he had never expected it to be Roy.
The sight of Roy immediately made him feel steadier.
At the doorway, Roy leaned on his cane and lifted one hand, covered in a black compression glove, to press down the brim of his black baseball cap. His dark brown eyes turned toward Winter, who was sitting curled up in the corner of the bed.
She was wearing a loose hospital gown. Her figure looked painfully thin, and her face was pale. Outside the window, the wind dragged dark clouds across the sky. She looked so fragile that if someone opened the window, the wind might carry her away.
Roy’s fingers tightened around the handle of his cane.
“Your cast is off?” Zion asked.
His voice pulled Roy’s gaze back. Roy gave a slight nod.
“That’s good,” Zion said. “That means you’re healing well. You need to get better soon, G p>
Roy was brilliant, badass and ridiculously capable. If he hadn’t been injured, Zion had no doubt they would have gotten Winter out of Liono City the night before last and taken her far away from Chris.
Still, there was a faint smell of medicated ointment on Roy, which meant he was nowhere near fully recovered.
It looked like his plan to have Roy teach that big idiot Gavin a lesson would have to wait.
Roy walked into the room with his cane. Even injured, his tall frame carried a sharp, imposing presence. His gaze swept over the untouched food on the tray.
Zion followed his gaze and explained in a low voice, “Ms. Scott is in a bad mood. She doesn’t want to eat p>
He didn’t dare say that her mood was far worse than bad. Even William had been helpless.
Winter rested her chin on her knees. After seeing Roy, her expression remained faint and distant. Then she turned back toward
the window.
The rainy season had arrived in Liono City, and the rain would not stop.
This was a high floor, so she could not see the greenery below the inpatient wing. All she could see was the heavy, cloud–covered sky and the raindrops striking the glass. There was no view worth looking at.
Winter stayed in that position until someone lightly touched her sho
She turned her eyes slightly and saw fingers covered in a black compression glove.
A phone with its screen lit was held in front of her. The Notes app was open, with a single line written on it.
“If you don’t eat, your body is going to give out p>
Winter only lifted her eyes and glanced at it. Then she said softly, “I’m not hungry p>
She truly was not hungry.
Other than breathing, it felt as if her body had stopped functioning. She didn’t want to move. She didn’t want to eat. She didn’t want to drink water. She only wanted to sit quietly.
Roy took the phone back, typed something, and held it in front of her again.
“Don’t you want to leave this place p>

Leave?
Winter moved her dry lips. Athin Trace of blood appeared against her pale mouth, and a hoarse, self–mocking laugh slipped through her teeth.
But she said nothing.
She only shook her head. Her eyes were red, but no tears would come.
She seemed to hear the sound of Roy gripping the phone fighter, but her ears had been ringing nonstop. After the explosion the night before last, her ears, which had almost healed, had been injured again.
Everything around her sounded muffled and indistinct.
Zion tugged lightly at Roy’s sleeve. His eyes twitched as he whispered, “G, maybe say a little less. Chris Xander has locked down the hospital and deployed armed forces. How is Ms. Scott supposed to leave p>
