Finn wiped George's body again and changed him into another set of pajamas before leaving the room.
Meanwhile, George held tightly to Candice's hand and refused to let go.
Candice had tried it to pry open George's grip before, but whenever she moved a little, George would hold her even tighter. It was as if he was afraid that she would suddenly leave.
Seeing that, Candice stopped resisting. She just sat by the bed, with one hand in George's hand and the other checking George's body temperature.
Once she confirmed that his body temperature was not rising, she relaxed a little and leaned against George. By then, it was already past 5 a.m.
Having stayed up all night, she felt a little sleepy. Hence, she lay down beside George, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
