Chương 31: Chapter 31: Doctor's Visit

My eyes flutter open to the spinning fan.

The spinning is too fast, and my lids fall closed.

I’m hot, sweating even. Kicking off the blanket, I allow the frigid air to hit my heated skin.

Almost immediately, I pull the blanket back up. It’s too cold.

There is an ache in my head, it throb…throb…throbs behind my closed eyes.

I don’t remember the last time I was sick. I was at least a pup.

Opening my eyes again feels like a hurdle I have to jump, but instead of settling on the fan, I turn toward the still open window.

The sun is higher than when I normally wake.

Snapping up has my head pounding, and my body tilts to the side, but I have to get up and see Maverick. I harbor too many questions that need answering.

Using the nightstand to stable myself, I brush against the flowers, causing a few petals to drift to the floor. I ignore them as I stumble to the bathroom.
