Dylan walked closer. "How are you feeling?"
"Really awful," Ryan answered without hesitation. "Physically, I'm fine. Emotionally?" He sighed. "I feel terrible."
"What the..." Liam can't help but chime in. "You consider that trauma just from a car accident?" he raised an eyebrow, unable to believe Ryan's words.
Ryan sent a sharp glance at Liam before saying, "I'm lying here breathing comfortably while the lady boss is upstairs undergoing surgery. I feel terrible... Make me ashamed of facing Boss Axel!"
Dylan's jaw tightened slightly. He knew what Ryan had done at the accident scene. Despite his injuries, Ryan had forced himself to move, to search for help, to stay standing until Evelyn was airlifted away. Only then had his body finally given up on him.
"Man, you did everything you could," Dylan said quietly. "Don't carry guilt that isn't yours."
