Chapter 63: Resolution

Nathan woke up the next day feeling better than he did the previous night. The wound on his shoulder no longer hurt. However, a little bit of pain remained there after experiencing a deep sleep with a fever overnight. There were bandages wrapped around his chest.

Nathan turned around and saw Marco walking towards him and smiled at him awkwardly. "You're finally awake." He said while offering Nathan something small wrapped in paper. "This is for you."
