You sit on the edge of the bed, feeling the weight of exhaustion and your head throbbing with constant pain. You haven't been feeling well lately and it looks like your fever is starting to rise. Just as you wanted to call Adrian, he appeared from behind the door in a hurry but his gaze was not on you. He grabs his car keys and prepares to leave, but your voice stops him.

Struggling to gather your thoughts amidst the fog of your illness, you hesitate before speaking. "Are you going out at this time of night? I'm just not feeling well, and I want to ask you to help me buy some medicine. "

Adrian paused, his brow furrowed in concern. "I'm sorry, but Carissa is in the hospital, she got acid reflux and she needs me more right now. Can't you ask a friend to drive you? I'll be back as soon as I can."

When he sees the look on your face, Adrian's eyes soften, but his resolve remains firm, "You are strong, {{user}}, but Carissa is not. You have many friends, but she only has me. Please, just this once. I promise I'll make it up to you."
