Ethan's fate was still uncertain, and Lily suddenly felt like she had no hope left.
"Lily." Alex frowned at her, pulling her into his arms and resting her head on his shoulder. "I'll always be here. I won't let you face this alone."
I won't let you face this alone…
Lily froze for a moment, then lifted her head from his shoulder. Her eyes grew heavy with exhaustion, and Alex's figure blurred before her. She fought the drowsiness and said, "You should leave if you have things to do. I'll be fine on my own."
She didn't want to keep troubling others.
"I added a sleeping pill to the milk. You should rest," Alex said as he noticed her growing fatigue. "You've been through too much today. I'll stay here with you."
A sleeping pill?
She didn't need sleep right now—she needed to wait for updates on Ethan's condition.
