Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 654

"Prepare for what?"

Mr. Abdul and Dr. Andrews exchanged a glance before speaking, "Prepare for the worst. If this turns into pneumonia, combined with his severely inflamed wounds, he might..."

Let's not utter that word today.

"You can't stay up late or overwork yourself. Once you're done here, go back and rest. Even if you can't sleep, just lie down with your eyes closed."

"We'll keep an eye on things here."

Gregory was lying face down, and I could see the expanse of wounds on his back, making my nose sting terribly.

But I didn't want to cry anymore.

Crying is useless.

"Christine."

"Yes, Jane?" she responded.

I took a deep breath, trying to appear fine, "I could really go for some food right now."

"Alright, I'll go get you something."

It was late, and Dailey went along too.

"Get a lot, I don't think anyone has had the chance to eat."

Normally, we would have a meal after a funeral, but one thing after another kept us from it.

Yet, expressing this concern, Mr. Abdul and Dr. Andrews were still worried.

Whether one is genuinely feeling better or just pretending, they could tell.

After all, losing a loved one isn't something you recover from quickly.

It takes time.

Sometimes, you just have to let things take their course.

Do what you can and leave the rest to fate.

...

Gregory woke up for a moment, squeezed my hand tightly when he saw me, and then quickly closed his eyes again.

It was so swift, you'd miss it if you weren't paying close attention.
