A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 513

“Just a nightmare scares you like that?” Arthur couldn’t control himself but laughed out, after all, she was a girl even if she was tough. He then nodded. “Alright! I’ll watch you fall asleep before I leave, okay?”

“I won’t be able to sleep for sure!” Georgia shook her head.

Like Charles, she had lost her dearest person! As long as she had this dream, she would suffer from insomnia all night long.

She hid her pain and tried hard to make herself smile and even though a long time had passed, her heart was still aching painfully.

Arthur frowned when he saw pain appear on her face with some inexplicable emotions and confusion surfacing in his heart. “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing!” Georgia pushed him into her room before curling up herself on the bed while hugging with the quilts, “Keep me company as I’m a bit scared!”

Because of a nightmare, she looked so pitiful with her empty eyes as if her soul had been taken away from her.

“Is your nightmare scary?” Arthur asked again carefully.

Georgia raised her head slightly, forced back the tears at the corners of her eyes, but drop after drop of tears still fell silently from her sore eyes.

Arthur froze when he saw her shedding her tears down. His eyes fell on her face in a complicated way, why would a woman as tough as her have such a vulnerable side?

“It’s not a dream!” Georgia’s face showed a desperate sadness and she just stared at Arthur blankly, slowly, her lips which were clenched by her white teeth opened and raised a faint smile with inexhaustible despair and sorrow.

“What are you crying for?” Startled by her tear-stained face, Arthur looked at her in a puzzled way with a swirling up feeling which was unable to be distinguished.

“I’m not crying, it is just that my eyes are a bit uncomfortable!” Stubbornly speaking, Georgia vigorously wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and buried her face in the blanket.

Arthur’s face looked serious and his heart was tangled when he inexplicably watched her trembling shoulders.

Who could tell him what the hell was going on here?

The person nestled under the covers seemed to be crying even harder, and Arthur’s face looked even more serious when he listened to her sobs coming through and looked at the figure curling up on the bed.

Georgia curled herself up and cried silently, meanwhile, Arthur who moved closer, wanted to hand her a tissue but he did not do it and he felt annoyed at his disability that he couldn’t help this pitiful person when she cried!

“Don’t cry! Can’t you say something?” He couldn’t stand people crying, especially girls.

Feeling the figure in front of her, Georgia slowly raised her head and gaze tearfully looked at Arthur’s rigid and serious face.

The pain and bitterness in her heart appeared slowly, how could she not feel the pain of being separated from each other forever? And with all that fake strength she was just comforting herself!

Whenever she had this dream, she would be sad.

“What’s wrong with you?” Speaking in a deep voice, Arthur looked at Georgia whose face was tear-stained puzzledly, yet, her fragile and desperate look made him surprisingly worry about her.

“I’m fine.” She answered in a low voice while wiping her tears away which seemed to be endless as the tears were spreading out from her eyes and instantly wetting her pale face again.

Were you calling this okay?

She was crying like this and she was still saying that she was fine?

Arthur spoke worriedly, “Are you thinking about something unhappy? Just say it, you’ll be more relieved after releasing it out!”

Looking at the person in front of her with a concerned look, Georgia hesitated for a moment before a suppressed sorrow spread once more.

With a loud cry, her slim body swooped into Arthur’s embrace, held his body tightly as she cried out, shedding the bitter tears of her heart.

“Ugh!” Arthur was dumbfounded when he was holding the person in his arms. Under the excessive force of Georgia’s ramming, the wheelchair on which Arthur sat almost slid over and toppled to the ground but fortunately, he hooked the bed first. Arthur lowered his head and took a look at the trembling man that was crying in his arm. His stiff hand which hesitated in mid-air before finally fell slowly and petted her back, Arthur then spoke in a hoarse voice, “Stop crying, please! They would think that I’ve done something to you as you cry so sadly at the midnight. Don’t cry, do you hear me?”

Arthur’s complex expressions were tangled together while half-embracing Georgia who couldn’t stop crying, what’s wrong with her?

While in another room, Charles who was already awake, got himself up when he heard the crying. When he came over, he heard Georgia’s cries and Arthur’s comforting voice.

After a long look at the closed door of the room, he snapped back to his senses, she was Georgia, not Macey and no one could replace Macey, so tomorrow he would leave!

Charles quickly turned around and walked in the direction of his room, the person he cared about had gone, his heart was dead and would not beat for anyone else.

In the room, the painful cries gradually stopped, but Georgia was still sobbing and her red eyes held the despair after all the tears had been shed.

The clothes on her chest were wet, and Arthur frowned at Georgia who was still choking with her eyes closed, wondering what was wrong with her.

When he looked down, he found that the person in his arms had already cried herself to sleep, but she was still choking as if she hadn’t recovered from her grief.

What was wrong with her?

Arthur glared at her tear-stained face, after a moment’s hesitation, he could only lean against the side of her bed. He could not hold her, and for the first time he hated himself for not being able to use his legs, otherwise, he could have picked her up, instead of having her half laying on the bed and half in his arms.
