He had made sure Belle had been cleaned properly and dressed. He had even stayed to apply ointment to every one of her bruises and wounds, then dropped a few medicines that would fight the drugs that had been given to her into her mouth and tucked her well into the bed.

He had even stayed to smoke outside the castle, taking his sweet time, wishing in the deepest part of him that the bastard would die before he reached him—and also hoping he wouldn't, because he didn't want to hurt Belle more.
However, when Rohan returned to the human, he was astonished to find that the man had regained consciousness and was now struggling and blindly trying to reach the front of his wagon.
