When she moved her body, her back was still in burning pain. It hurt so much that Cherise awoke instantly.

After waking up, she realized she was lying in the hospital bed with Damien.

It was a single bed, so it was rather crowded for them to lay together. It was why he was hugging her so tightly. Both their bodies were closely pressed together. She could even clearly hear the man’s heart beating in his chest.

It beat at the same rhythm and frequency as hers.

The corners of her lips curved unconsciously.

It was the first time someone had hugged her to sleep. It was also the first time she could hear the sound of someone’s heartbeat up close.

She looked up at Damien’s face.

He had a handsome and refined side profile, sensual and alluring collarbones that were defined, tall and polished brows, long lashes, and lip’s that were perfectly curved.

Under the glow of the morning sun, his eyes were exceptionally charming.

Wait a moment! His eyes!

Cherise suddenly came to her senses. “You’re… you’re awake.”

Damien was amused by her silly yet endearing appearance. He couldn’t help but kiss her forehead. “Does it still hurt?”

“No. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Cherise didn’t know if it was because of his kiss or question. Either way, her heart started beating frantically, and her face blushed uncontrollably.

“That’s good.”

The man reached out to stroke her pretty and tiny face. “Why didn’t you admit your mistake last night?”

Cherise pursed her lips. “Because I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“But you could have avoided the physical pain if you admitted fault.”

“I’m a person with integrity.”

Cherise looked at him with a determined gaze. “I can endure it no matter how much it hurts, but I won’t admit to something I didn’t do. Nor will I acknowledge making a mistake when I didn’t.”
