Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1796

Ebony Fox lifted her gaze calmly. Her bloodshot eyes showed no reaction.

Their son had just suffered a horrific accident; it was perfectly normal for his parents to react this way.

Instead, it was Juniper who took the initiative to greet them. "Good evening, Aunt Monique."

"!"

Monique quickly looked away, shrinking into her husband's embrace. Sounding exhausted and a bit intimidated, she mumbled, "Let's go. I don't want to look at them."

"Alright."

Hector was much calmer. Before leaving, he made sure to nod politely at the two of them.

At first, he had blamed Ebony Fox somewhat, but after thinking it through.

He realized no one could predict disasters like this.

Ebony Fox was completely innocent in all of this.

Once they left, Ebony Fox entered the room and sat by Kurt's bed.

She placed the little fox charm under his pillow.

Then, she picked up a cotton swab from the table, dipped it in water, and gently moistened his dry lips.

Juniper had said his vitals were stable and he should wake up in a few hours.

The diagnostic reports were the only thing still pending.

Ebony Fox's gaze drifted down to his lower back, which was encased in a brace.

For someone as energetic and restless as him, being strapped down like that had to be agonizing.

Thinking of this.

Ebony Fox leaned in slightly, resting her cheek gently against his chest, her eyes growing hot and damp. "Get better soon. I need you."

She had never known what the fear of losing someone felt like.

This was the first time.

As if hearing her voice, the fingers of the man in the bed suddenly twitched.

Ebony Fox looked up, realizing Kurt was already awake.

His palm slowly lifted, coming to rest gently on her shoulder.

Ebony Fox stared at him, bewildered, terrified it was just a hallucination.
