In Love, Never Say Never

I was still recovering from the shock of what had just happened. My entire body felt completely numb.

Jared continued chattering next to me, but I didn’t register a single word he said. When Cameron and Zachary arrived in the room, Jared turned to look at me with a rather complicated expression on his face.

Cameron was the first to open his mouth. “Are you alright?”

I looked up at them and said in a dull tone, “If the both of you want to file a lawsuit against me, please go ahead.”

Cameron shook her head frantically. “No, we’re here to take a look at you! Ms. Stovall, you…”

Zachary interrupted her impatiently. “Alright, you’ve seen her. Let’s go and visit Rebecca now! This matter is over as far as I’m concerned.”

Jared helped me to bandage my wounds. As he gazed darkly after their retreating backs, he said with a frown, “I suppose the Moore family won’t be filing a lawsuit against you, then.”

Truthfully, I wasn’t afraid of what they might do to me. I bowed my head and stared at the wound on my arm.

Looking up at Jared again, I asked, “Nothing will happen to Ashton, right?”

He burst into laughter. “He didn’t sustain injuries to his lungs, so he’s fine. He’ll be alright after a few stitches, don’t worry about it.”

I nodded, still feeling a little uncertain.

Ashton jumped down from his hospital bed after the stitching and said to me, “Come on, let’s go home!”
