Yates Donovan always said those men couldn't take good care of her.
But now he was in Jynsia, and the accident had happened right under his nose.

'What a bunch of useless fools.'
'They should have been more careful. With so many people around, how could they let a perfectly fine girl end up in this state?'
Mia looked at the time, confused. "Weren't you supposed to have taken off?"
"Forget taking off. If something happened to you, I'd parachute back if I had to."
"..." Sometimes, you just had to laugh when you were left speechless.

Yates Donovan bounded up the stairs, taking them two or three at a time. Seemingly ignoring Hayes Hughes beside her, he grabbed her arm and looked her over from every angle.
"How are your injuries so severe?"
"Are you bleeding?"
