Ethan had a tamt , clean scent to him something like the crispsomt of pine trees on a winter day He sat on the bed and slowly moved his legs up .

The way he performed these movements was graceful and effortless .

There was no sign of struggle or discomfort , making it oddly pleasant to watch .

Grace stood by the bed , thinking about what Joanne had said .

Even if his legs were really damaged , there would still be plenty of women secretly in love with him .

But had the accident really happened became of her ? She didnl dane ask , tearing it would trigger a sensitive subject .

When she reached the door , she politely asked , Mr.

Henderson , will you need the lights turned off soon ? She slowly closed the door behind her .

Fatigue hit her , and she collapsed into bed , immediately falling into a deep sleep The next moming she didnt wake up right away .

She felt like her entire body was on fire Someone was speaking nearby , and then she felt her mouth being pried open and something forced into it She frowned at the biner taste , wanting to spit it out , but the hand was firm , lifting her chin , and she had no choice but to swallow Ethan placed the bowl down and glanced at the IV bag beside her Mr.

Henderson , her fewer is almost at 10 degrees , she wont wake up for a while .
