Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1395

This was the first time Jeremy fell asleep next to Cornelia since they reunited.
Cornelia reached out her hand and playfully tapped his nose, "You trickster, you said you weren't sleepy."
Then she moved closer and rubbed noses with him.
"Marc..." Dr. Lester suddenly barged in. Seeing the scene, he immediately felt like he intruded and hurriedly turned to leave, "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt."
Cornelia said, "Dr. Lester, wait a moment!"
Dr. Lester paused, "What's up?"
Before Cornelia could speak, Jeremy was startled awake. He suddenly opened his eyes, grabbing Cornelia tightly. "Cornelia."
Cornelia was taken aback, but quickly recovered, "Jeremy, I'm here. Don't be scared."
He stared at her delicate face, "Cornelia, is it really you?"
Cornelia took his hand and placed it on her face, "Yes, it's really me."
He reached out and gently touched her face, feeling her warmth. After confirming she was really by his side, he once again closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep. Seeing him like this, Cornelia felt a pain in her heart that she could not express, "Silly, you clearly can't bear to part with me, why did you push me away?"
Dr. Lester said, "You see. Marc has been like this for almost a year. Not only is he tormented by illness, but also by his longing for you. In the middle of the night, he'd either wake up in pain or be startled awake by nightmares. He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long, long time."
Although Cornelia hadn't witnessed Jeremy's suffering firsthand, she could imagine it, "From now on, I'll take care of his sleeping. I'll make sure he sleeps well and I'll stay by his side until he recovers."
Hearing this, Dr. Lester felt a sense of relief, "With you by his side, I can rest easy."
Cornelia looked down at Jeremy's arm, "Can his arm be healed?"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Lester sighed deeply, "The chances are slim. But don't worry, we'll never give up easily."
Cornelia said, "Thank you."
Dr. Lester replied, "Marc is the one I've watched grow up and I've always treated him like my own child. Also, I accepted his high salary, and taking care of him is what I should do. So you don't have to be so polite."
Dr. Lester's words made sense, so Cornelia didn't insist on being formal, "Did you come to see Marc for something?"
Dr. Lester said, "I was worried about his health as he hasn't been resting well. I planned to let him sleep in his own rest room. But seeing how well he is sleeping here, let him have a good rest."
Cornelia said, "Alright."
Dr. Lester said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Cornelia said, "Wait a moment, please."
Dr. Lester asked, "Is there anything else?"
Cornelia said, "Can you tell me what I need to be aware of for his condition?"
Dr. Lester said, "I'll take care of his medication and diet, you don't need to worry. Try to let him rest well and recover mentally. That's the best way for him to recover quickly."
Cornelia replied, "Alright."
After Dr. Lester left, Cornelia lay on her side on the bed, her eyes fixed on Jeremy. His face had thinned considerably, especially around the eyes, which were noticeably sunken. She didn't dare to think about how he had managed these past few days.
The night was long, but Cornelia wished it could be even longer, so she could keep watching him. Never leaving.
...
This was undoubtedly the best sleep Jeremy had had in several months.
