Love Beyond Reach novel Chapter 24

Julian's injury wasn't life-threatening because it wasn't in a vital area, and he received timely medical treatment.

Saoirse's high-strung nerves finally relaxed when she heard that he was stable.

After informing Bjoern and Madeline about the situation, she returned to the hospital room. She let out a sigh of relief as she looked at Julian, who was still unconscious.

On the table lay the blood-stained wallet and bag. The sight of the crimson stains made her recall the terrifying moments of the attack.

Her emotions only grew conflicted when she looked at Julian's pale face.

How did Julian end up being nearby when she was attacked? She was on her way home from shopping after work. Had he been following her all along? And if so, why hadn't she noticed him?

Saoirse was troubled by these questions until Bjoern and Madeline arrived half an hour later. After discussing the situation, Madeline decided to stay at the hospital to watch Julian, while Bjoern accompanied Saoirse to the police station to file a report.

Once the report was completed, Bjoern and Saoirse hurried back to the hospital upon learning that Julian had woken up.

Sitting outside the ward, Madeline gave Saoirse a meaningful look, signaling her to go in and check on Julian.

While Bjoern also wanted to go in, he was stopped by Madeline. He could only watch anxiously as his daughter ventured into the room, his brows furrowed deeply with concern.

After taking a deep breath to steady herself, Saoirse opened the door. As soon as she appeared, Julian's eyes fixed on her, not blinking once.

Feeling the intensity of his gaze, Saoirse was uncomfortable and could only look down at the floor as she moved to stand by his bedside, sincerely saying a quiet "thank you".

Julian was worried she would leave soon as she only stood there. As he tried to move a nearby chair closer to her, he accidentally pulled at his wound. His face immediately contorted in pain.

Saoirse was startled by his movement and pained expression. She immediately turned to call for a nurse, fearing that his wound might be reopening.
