Nathael gazed into her deep eyes, his own eyes shaded.

Maggie’s cheeks warmed for no reason. She huddled under the covers and covered her nose and mouth, leaving only her closed eyes visible.
Nathael chuckled softly. “Once the IV is finished, you should get some rest.”
There wasn’t much IV solution left, and it was done in about twenty minutes or so.
Maggie was still awake. She felt much better because the medication was starting to work, but she wasn’t feeling very sleepy.
She opened her eyes and saw Nathael beckon the nurse to remove the needle, then he changed his clothes and lied down next to her.
Even before he touched her, she could feel the warmth in the air.
Although the hospital bed in the private hospital was bigger, it wasn’t designed for two people like the one in Maplewood Avenue.
The bed felt a bit cramped. Maggie turned away from him, and soon, Nathael pulled her close.
Warmth seeped through their clothes, and Maggie could hear his heartbeat clearly.
Maggie slowly opened her eyes, unable to resist the thought of how nice it would be if they could stay like this forever.
Nathael’s large hand encircled her slim waist, pushing her curled–up body against his chest. Her tousled hair brushed against his shoulders and neck, causing a slight tickle.

Outside the window, the full moon hung high, and the stars dotted the dark sky.
The hospital room was dark, with only the moonlight and the faint glow from the corridor across the building.
“What’s on your mind?” Nathael asked softly, knowing she was still awake.
Maggie’s eyelashes quivered, and she murmured, “You are.”
Nathael’s gentle kisses landed on her neck and ear, his voice deep. The moment you went missing. I was so scared I’d never see you again.”
The fear flooded over him like a wave, unstoppable and chilling, causing him to shiver.
Nathael couldn’t find the words to describe the feeling; it was the most scared he had ever been.
Maggie’s nose tingled, unsure of what to say as she simply listened quietly.
“These days have felt like a dream, an unattainable dream for me. Nathael gulped, his eyes downcast as he spoke slowly.
Perhaps because he’d never experienced it before, these days made him doubt the reality of happiness.

Chapter 301 Let’s Get Married
At midnight, he’d wake up sweating, afraid she wouldn’t be there.
Maggie’s eyes grew moist. She bit her lip, her hand beside her face curling up involuntarily.
For him, it was a nightmare, and for her, it wasn’t any different.
Despite the longing, Maggie felt it was enough.
At least the happiness they’d shared was real; that was sufficient.
They wouldn’t leave behind regrets as in their past lives, only filled with reluctance and remorse.
She gently placed her hand on top of his. “You deserve all the good things in the world.”
Nathael’s eyes were deep, his black lashes like wings. “But I don’t want the good things in the world; I only want you.”
A tear slid down Maggie’s cheek and landed on the hospital pillow, forming a small, glistening droplet.
“Nana, let’s get married, Nathael whispered softly.
Maggie paused for a moment, taken aback by his proposal.
Opening her mouth, Maggie found herself unable to form words.
