Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 517

I had no idea how long I had been sleeping. I just felt it had been a long time. When I woke up, my neck was stiff and my limbs were numb. My chest was the most painful area – even the slightest movement hurt a lot.

What happened to me?

I slowly recalled my memories as I blankly blinked. Then, I remembered being shot and becoming severely injured, which caused Julia to cry.

I raised my head slightly and noticed Julia resting her head on the edge of the bed. She appeared pale and exhausted. Her hair was messy and she was still wearing the same clothes she had on when we went shopping.

She was holding my hand tightly at the moment, which gave me a warm sensation. I was happy to know that Christopher’s parents cared about me; it was a wonderful feeling. I felt my world was brimming with hope and I started longing for it again.

I was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, but Julia was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake her up. It was only early fall and there was no heating in the room. I was concerned that Julia would be cold, so I adjusted my body slightly, took the jacket on the chair, and placed it on her back.

At that moment, the door opened. Darius walked in just as I was putting the jacket on Julia. Understanding what I was doing, he quickly walked over and assisted me with the task. He then said in surprise, “You’re awake! Don’t move around too much. Just remain in bed. I’ll call the doctor to check up on you.”

“Shhh.” I made a shushing motion, smiled weakly, and whispered, “Don’t be too loud, Darius. You’ll startle Mrs. Lane.”

Darius looked at me curiously as he helped me lie back down on the bed in slow motion. With a lowered voice, he asked, “How do you feel? Are you unwell?”

I felt pain all over my body, but I did not want to tell him. I shook my head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just… Cough!”
