“Mr. Thorne, | can feed myself” Faced with Landon’s attentiveness, Tessa wasn’t sure how to react.
Landon noticed her discomfort and didn’t push further
That's fine, | can wait. She'll get used to havingaround.
He handed her the bowl and spoon.
Tessa took a bite of the porridge, finding the taste surprisingly pleasant. Slowly, she finished the entire bowl!
“Would you like more?”
“No, that’s enough. Thank you.”
Even though they weren't close, Landon’s care made her feel a little uneasy.
“Mr. Thorne, you can leave now. This is a hospital-it's safe here.”
“Get ssleep. I'll rest on the sofa tonight,” Landon said as he tucked the blanket around her and settled on
the couch, showing no intention of leaving.
“Mr. Thorne?”
“What is it? Aren’t you sleepy?”
Maybe it’s just a Thorne family trait to repay kindness so thoroughly, Tessa thought, giving up on reasoning with

reached for the IV stand, intending to wheel it along.
But before she could, Landon was already at her side, detaching the IV bag and holding it up. He even leaned in
as if preparing to carry her.
Tessa instinctively raised her hands to stop him, only to find her palms pressed against his chest.
Landon wore a white shirt, the top two buttons undone since he’d removed his tie the previous night. Her hands
brushed against his bare skin.
It felt like a jolt of electricity ran through her. Tessa quickly pulled her hands away.
“Sorry, that wasn’t intentional.” The way he looked at her made her feel like he thought she’d done it on
