"What's happening?"
Once Nina opened the door, I rushed directly to where Paloma was. I froze next to the bed for a while when I saw her. She was shivering under the blankets and murmuring incoherently as if she was hallucinating.
"L-Lawrence, don't leave me. I... I can't live without you. I need... I need y-your..."
Nina shot me a worried look. "She keeps on saying that since last night."
I frowned. "I told you to call me if this happens. Now, I need to explain why I left in the middle of the exam."
She stared down at the floor. "I'm so sorry, Sir Lawrence."
Ignoring her apology, I sat next to Paloma and touched her face. Her coldness sent chills throughout my system. "Damn, you're so cold."
Her heavy eyes opened. "Is... is that you, Lawrence?" She didn't wait for me to confirm.
