Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Valen slowly nodded. He tried to sit up but the needle on his wrist didn’t allow him free movement, so Matt helped him rest his back on the headboard.

“Bring him warm water,” Matt ordered and a nurse walked to the side to pour Valen water from the flask that was sitting on a tray, placed on a light blue trolley.
