I Bled in Silence, You Died in Guilt

I was stabbed over a dozen times to protect Jasper Sage. When I finally regained consciousness, I heard Dr. Harris' voice. "Jasper, you hired someone to assassinate yourself in order not to marry her. What if you really get hurt?"

My eyelashes fluttered. Before I even opened my eyes, I heard Jasper's confident reply. "No, Hazel Schmidt would never let me get hurt."

Dr. Harris's tone was complicated. "But she was stabbed in the abdomen and she will never get pregnant again in this life."
