Chapter 656 Chapter 656 Chapter 656 29% 0 I had no idea how long I'd been out when I felt someone lightly patting my cheek. "Take some fever meds first," a voice said. I opened my eyes and realized I was leaning against Edward's chest. He was holding a glass of water and two pills. I sat up quickly, took the pills, and swallowed them with the water. "Where am I?" I asked, taking in the masculine, sturdy bedroom around me. "This is my place," Edward replied. I was totally thrown off. I thought he was taking me to the hospital. Why were we at his house?

"Why didn't we go to the hospital?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Edward smiled. "I've got a family doctor. Going to the hospital would've been a hassle." I just stared at him, a little dazed, and he reached out to gently ruffle my hair. "Don't worry so much. Look at you, you're a mess. I promise, you're safe with me." "You look wiped out. Try to get some sleep," Edward said softly, settling me onto the bed and making sure I was comfortable. After a little while, the doctor came in and spoke quietly with Edward. In the end, I had to get an IV.

While the nurse was setting it up, Edward never left my side, keeping watch over me the whole time. 1 figured maybe it's the food here, or maybe I'm just not used to the environment, so I caught a cold so easily.

He gave me a small smile. "Are you hungry? I can have someone bring you something to eat." He'd caught me, so there was no point in pretending anymore. I nodded. "Yeah, I'm a bit hungry.

Do you have any gruel? I just want something light." Edward set his papers aside and turned, locking eyes with me for a long moment. "I've had it ready for a while. Let me bring it in for you." "No, really... I can go downstairs myself," I said, not wanting to trouble him. Edward just chuckled. "Seriously, it's no trouble. Just stay in bed and let me handle it." I had just started to pull back the covers, but he was already out the door. I quietly settled back and pulled the blanket over myself again.

"Come sit on the couch and eat," Edward said, setting the food down. I got out of bed and walked over to the couch, sitting down. I took a quick look out the window, but all I could see were big trees blocking my view. There was no way to tell what was going on outside. "Is this where you actually live?" I asked him. Edward nodded. "Yeah, is something wrong?" "Are you sure it's okay for me to be here?
