Chapter 2
The nurses in the hospital were busy, while Graysen seemed to be trying to make up for something He volunteered to hold the medical kit and apply medicine for Caroline.
She didn’t stop him either, just responded lightly.
Looking at the man who was so close, she felt a bit dazed.
The two of them started dating in high school and encouraged each other to apply to the police academy. They were the model couple in the academy.
Caroline still remembered to this day that when her parents died in a car accident, it was Graysen who held her in his arms and comforted her all night and helped with the funeral arrangements while claiming to be her parents‘ son.
From the day they started dating, Graysen brought her breakfast every day, all of which were her favorite. Even if he was mocked by the other students for taking care of his “little wife“, he never
stopped.
During every thunderstorm, Graysen would always be by Caroline’s side. He knew that the death of her parents would haunt her for the rest of her life, so he made a vow in front of their graves. “I will love her for the rest of my life and give her a home.
Caroline happily believed it.
But she didn’t expect that Graysen’s life would be so short, only a mere seven years..
“Caroline, does it hurt?”
“It didn’t hurt just now…”
Graysen was taken aback and awkwardly smiled. Then he changed the subject and said, “You can’t drive. I’ll drive you back later and make dinner.”
Caroline nodded with a cold, faint smile on her lips.
At that moment, Graysen’s phone kept vibrating in his pocket, and he put down the cotton swab and answered the call.
“Graysen, Marlene woke up and refused to take her medicine. She has been crying and asking for you…”
The voice of the colleague on the phone was very clear. Even though Caroline didn’t want to listen, she still heard it very well.

After Graysen hung up the phone, he glanced at Caroline and awkwardly said, “I’m going to take a look and will be back soon, okay?”
Caroline’s faint smile disappeared as she put on her calm, tough look again.
She responded with a grumble, while Graysen turned around and left without any hesitation.
Staring at her half–treated wound, Caroline was stunned for a while. After calling a familiar nurse, she stood there blankly, gazing out of the window.
In the past, Graysen worried a lot about her injuries.
Every time during cross–country training at the police academy, she would roll around and get covered with wounds. Graysen, despite also getting hurt all over, would take her to the hospital, making sure she was okay before going to check on his own injuries. He would stay by her bedside all day, bringing her water and food, and no matter how much she tried to kick him away, he
wouldn’t leave.
It was not the same as now.
The nurse gently treated her wounds, and as she finally finished the whole arm, she asked with a remorseful look in her eyes, “Did I hurt you?”
Caroline shook her head quickly, and the nurse let out a sigh of relief, saying, “You have tears all over your face…”
Did she cry?
Caroline quickly wiped her face, feeling a chill on the back of her hand.
She waited for a long time, but she didn’t see Graysen. She said goodbye to Dr. Clark and took a taxi
home alone.
At 10 p.m., Caroline was eating ramen when Graysen’s message came in.
“Caroline, have you had dinner?”
“Marlene is in so much pain. She insists on me staying with her here. You go home first. I will bring you breakfast tomorrow.”
Almost simultaneously…
In the squad’s group chat, several pictures were sent by Marlene with several whooshes.
Caroline swiped and saw they were all pictures of Graysen’s signature dishes, which were perfect- for patients to eat.

These used to belong solely to her, but now someone else had taken her place.
The group chat was blowing up.
“Graysen cooked for Marlene again. It’s exclusively for the princess and we can’t even have a
taste.”
“That’s right. Graysen really treats Marlene differently. How spoiling!”
Marlene had been known for being dramatic. When she saw her teammates teasing, she mentioned Caroline deliberately. “Caroline, lend Graysen to me for one night, will you? I will return him to you tomorrow. I hope you are not upset.”
Graysen saw that Caroline had not replied to the message, afraid that she might not be able to handle the situation. He quickly replied in the group chat.
“No, Caroline is very generous.”
