Chapter 1312

• At that moment, Henry was filled with confusion. How could someone like Liza—who was strong enough to take on a group of tough men—suddenly fall ill? Was it just a cold, brought on by the change in seasons? But a cold wasn’t serious enough to keep someone like her from going about her day. She was strong, resilient; she wouldn’t have taken time off for something so minor.
• Could she have been injured? Had she lost a lot of blood? Maybe it was a car accident? Did she break something—her leg or arm? The thought of something serious made his stomach twist. What if it was a terminal illness? His mind raced through countless possibilities. A vision of Liza lying helplessly in a hospital bed flooded his thoughts, and his heart clenched in panic. He quickened his steps toward her room.
• If Liza were seriously ill or permanently disabled, he would be by her side, supporting her alongside Gavin. The thought of her suffering alone in the future was unbearable.
