Dawn’s tone really did sound like a nagging parent.
Micah muttered something under his breath, then said quietly, “Goodnight, Dawn.”

The IV he’d gotten that afternoon had sedatives in it. The only reason he’d stayed awake this long was because of pure sibling affection.
Micah fell asleep quickly. Dawn, however, wasn’t sleepy at all.
She lifted her eyelids slightly, her attention settling on the man on the couch.
She didn’t know what he was looking at. He was fully focused. The glow from theptop screen washed over his face, making his features look even more sharp and striking.
After a while, his brows knit slightly.
His long, well–defined fingers moved quickly over the keyboard.
She watched him like that for a long time. Then Ethan looked up and caught her staring.
“Not tired yet?”
Dawn instinctively nced at the sleeping Micah beside her and shook her head.
“Wanna get up? I’ll take you out for a walk.”
The air in the hospital wasn’t great. She’d been inside most of the day and barely breathed any fresh air.
Dawn thought about it, climbed out of bed, and asked softly, “You’re done with work?”
“Yeah. More or less.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
It felt like it was about to rain. The air was thick and muggy. The contrast from indoors to outdoors was especially obvious.
Dawn took a couple of deep breaths and stretched her arms and legs.
It was a little after 9 p.m. There weren’t many people around the hospital anymore. asionally, a couple would hurry past the entrance toward the ER, or family members

would head out to find something to eat.
“You really didn’t have to stay and keep mepany. I know you’re busy.”
As soon as she said it, Dawn sensed the beside her looking at her.
That probing gaze left nowhere to hide.
She couldn’t help butugh. “What?”

“Don’t you think you’re being distant with me?”
Ethan looked serious, not joking at all. “Dawn, I’m your man.”

“I know.” Dawn put away her smile and argued softly. “But I’m telling the truth. There’s no point in a bunch of people crowding the hospital. It’s enough that I’m here.”
There was no way she could leave Micah. Otherwise, she would’ve hired a caregiver and been done with it.
“Objectively, yes, having you here is enough. But emotionally, I’m your husband. I’m the one you should trust and rely on the most. You can avoid troubling others, but you can’t avoid troubling me.”
A few days ago, she hadn’t been like this.
Once someone starts avoiding troubling the other person, that’s when emotional distance begins.
Dawn pressed her lips together. After a long pause, she said, “Because I know you have your own things to deal with.”
“Should I thank you for being so considerate?”
“Well … you don’t have to.”
“Dawn.”
Ethan reached out and took her hand, as if reminding her of something. He squeezed it firmly. His maic voice dropped lower. “We’re married. And our wedding is in two weeks.”
Just two weeks.
Micah’s words shed through Dawn’s mind at the worst possible moment.
He cared deeply about Ethan and didn’t want to see things end that way.

Dawn’s thoughts suddenly fell into chaos. She looked up and stared straight at the man in front of her. “Ethan, let’s call off the wedding.”
Everything around them was dark. A single streemp overhead cast nted light onto her hair, ck and gleaming.
Ethan lowered his gaze to her, to her eyes.
His voice was low and slow.
“Why?”
Even at this distance, Dawn still couldn’t read what he was thinking.
She looked away and said softly, “Micah and I just found each other. He still needs time to recover. I’m not in the mood.”
“Do you know the invitations have already been sent out?”
“I know.”
“The dress and rings you wanted, I had new ones made.”
“Yeah.”
“So you don’t want to get married anymore?”
“This wedding doesn’t matter to you anyway.” Dawn didn’t know what she was thinking. Even now, she could still smile, and she did.
“Wasn’t it just to amodate me in the first ce? I don’t want to do it anymore. That saves you the trouble.”
“Dawn.”
The word was forced out between the man’s lips, heavy with
pressure.
Ethan stared at her, trying to find some other emotion in her eyes. But there wasn’t any. Her beautiful eyes were full of impatience, irritation, indifference, sarcasm–everything except love.
He took half a step forward with his long legs, closing the distance.
“What exactly… am I to you?”

Dawn swallowed unconsciously. Her gaze flickered, hidden by the shadow of her loose hair. She sounded like she was tired of talking and answered casually, “Whatever you say.”
“Are you annoyed?”
“A little.”
She turned away. Her smooth, defined profile looked cold and distant. “Don’t you give me whatever I want? It’s just a wedding. No need to nitpick.”
