“Eve, promise me you won’t make me worry about you like this anymore.” Christopher planted a kiss on my cheek. His hands were still wrapped tightly around me. It was almost as though he was afraid I would disappear as soon as he let go.
“I will. From now, I’ll be extra careful and take good care of myself.”
At that moment, I swore that no matter what happened, I would protect myself. Never again could I let Christopher cry over my safety.
Next, he helped me sit up on the bed. He fed me very carefully in small bites. Before each mouthful, he would blow on the soup to make sure it had cooled down before putting it into my mouth.
After eating, I was incredibly sleepy due to my heavy injuries. Despite that, I tried my best to stay awake and talk to Christopher. Seeing that, he decided to get in bed with me, and we cuddled while resting.
“Go to sleep. I’ll be here.”
Lying in his warm embrace, I slowly shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep. Outside the window, Darius and Julia were looking in on us. They could not help but feel emotional.
“How nice is this, Darius? I’m so glad she’s all right. Otherwise, Chris would be devastated.”
“I guess I have to prepare for his wedding soon,” Darius replied.
“Yes. Make it grand. I want the entire city to be congratulating them.”
I slept all the way until the next morning. Sunlight shone through the windows, but it was not glaring at all. Outside, everything was looking particularly beautiful.
Christopher’s hands never left my body. Even while asleep, his brows were furrowed. It seemed like he was dreaming of something unpleasant. I gently ran my fingers in between his brows and smiled.
