"What did your doctor friend say?" I asked softly, trying to sound calm, even though my fingers curled tightly into the bedsheet.
Su Ye looked at me for a moment, his gaze deep and unreadable, before he finally spoke. "He'll arrive tomorrow morning to examine your face."
Tomorrow.
Hope fluttered in my chest, but right behind it came fear. What if the result wasn't what I prayed for? What if things couldn't be fixed?
He must have noticed the way my expression stiffened. Without a word, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. "Everything will be fine," he said gently, his voice steady and reassuring. "Trust me."
His warmth seeped into me, slowly melting away all my anxiety. I nodded, leaning into him, letting myself breathe in the comfort of his embrace when...
Growl.
My stomach rumbled loudly.
I froze.
Su Ye paused.
Yun Si blinked.
