Suddenly, it hit me. "Oh right, how's your wound healing? I've been so caught up with Ramona's illness that I haven't had a chance to check on you." I felt a bit guilty about it. He got hurt because of me, and I hadn't even visited him.
"It's just a scratch, no big deal." Mark, perhaps worried I'd blmyself, played it down. "Should be almost healed soon. Ramona's condition is what really matters. How is she doing?" I looked a bit down as I replied, "We've managed to delay the poisoning for now, but I'm not sure if we can find the antidote in time." "Antidote?" Mark seemed surprised. "Wasn't the antidote with Kane last time? With Gregory's skills, he should be able to handle him, right?" "Hey, did you cto the hospital for a bandage change, or did you specifically cto check on Jane?" Christine, with a laugh, changed the subject, teasing, "Speaking of which, Jane's really lucky. Despite everything that's happened, she's got Gregory, such a great fiancé, and two amazing friends like us. I'm almost jealous!" I could read between the lines.

I knew she wasn't just looking out for me, but for Mark too, so I stayed quiet.
Mark chuckled and openly said, "Both. Changing the bandage is doctor's orders, and caring for Jane is a friend's duty." "Thanks, Mark." I was about to tell him to take care of his injury when his phone rang. I quickly smiled, "You go ahead. Chris and I were planning to head to the office. When you're free, lettreat you to dinner as a thank you for saving my life." He smiled warmly, "Well, then I'll have to take you up on that offer." Once we were in the elevator, Christine finally let out a sigh.
"Without Gregory, Mark really would have been a great guy." I sighed, "And yet you just had to tease him?" "I'm doing it for his own good," Christine defended, a bit worried et hurting everyone involved "It's okay to have obsessions, but if they're too deep, it might end up I chuckled, "Mark's not the type to dwell on things." Whether it was when I told Mark I had a boyfriend, or the other day when he saw Gregory, or just now when Christine made that comment, he always took it in stride.
Christine raised an eyebrow, "Well, that's for the best. At least you can still be friends." "By the way, how's your stomach? Still hurting?" she asked with concern.
"It's still a bit sore." I glanced at the date. "I'll wait a few more days, and if Aunt Flo still hasn't visited, I'll make an appointment." Since there was no one else in the elevator, she suddenly asked with a meaningful tone, "Did you and Gregory remember to take precautions?" I paused, my mind going blank for a moment as I realized what she meant!

Christine, who knowswell, just needed to see my reaction to understand, "No protection?!" "I forgot amidst everything..." Suddenly remembering this amid my delayed period madepanic for a moment.
Both the Myers and the Ford families were deep in murky waters, and m getting pregnant now might not be the best for us or the baby.
But soon enough, I calmed down, "I'll buy a pregnancy test in a few days. It's probably nothing." Ashburn > X
