Chapter 1905
“and what did the doctor say?”
“He mentioned that even after it heals, I’ll have a slight limp,”
Carlow said, his fingers tracing over the injured limb, lost in thought.
Karina struggled to find the right words.
Finally, she mumbled, “It’s okay.
Being alive is what truly matters.
”
Carlow nodded in agreement.
“You’re right.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just being alive is enough.
But I can’t shake the feeling that no woman would want a disabled man like me.
I might end up single.
”
Karina glanced at him, eager to reassure him.
“That’s not true.
You’re much more than your disability.
In all truth, personality matters more than looks.
And there are plenty of wonderful women who will see that in you.
”
His eyes gleaming with intensity, Carlow pondered her words.
“Do you really think so?”
“Of course,” Karina replied honestly.
Yet, a sense of unease gnawed at her.
Why was he suddenly interested in her opinion?
Karina eyed him warily, but he seemed unfazed, casually sipping his water as if the conversation was mundane.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
It was just a casual chat.
Just then, her phone rang, displaying an incoming call from Jack.
Karina excused herself.
“I need to take this call.
”
“Of course,” Carlow replied, a hint of amusement crinkling the corners of his eyes.
Karina stepped away and picked up the phone.
“Jack, everything alright?”
Carlow’s gaze flickered to her as he heard the name “Jack”.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he took a leisurely sip of water.
Didn’t she think she was getting a little too close to this Jack?
Haleigh’s voice broke his train of thought.
“Carlow, come have some fruit,” she offered warmly, bringing out a plate.
Grateful for the distraction, Carlow set down his water and accepted the offering.
“Thanks.
”
“Enjoy,” Haleigh replied with a kind smile.
Carlow studied the plate filled with all kinds of fruits.
He speared a piece of cantaloupe and popped it into his mouth.
Haleigh watched him, a wave of memories washing over her.
