I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 104

Bonnie finally noticed that something was wrong.

The skin beneath her palms was burning hot.

Confused, she pulled one hand back and pressed the back of it against his forehead.

"Why are you burning up?"

The moment her soft, warm skin touched his forehead, Quentin completely froze.

His hands gripped the sofa so hard that the veins on the backs of his hands bulged.

At that exact moment, the bright, delicate face in front of him suddenly began to blur.

In just a few seconds, all the light and color in his vision was violently swallowed by an endless void.

His world plunged back into total darkness.

Bonnie immediately noticed the shift in his eyes.

His previously deep, intense gaze abruptly lost its focus, turning as hollow and stagnant as dead water.

She instinctively tilted his head up higher, wanting to see exactly what was happening to his pupils the moment his vision failed.

Meanwhile, plunged into complete darkness, Quentin's other senses were magnified a thousand times over.

Her fingertips, her breath, her body heat... everything was screaming at him.

She was right there, within arm's reach.

Bonnie's fingertips found the acupressure points around his eyes, and she began to massage them gently.

"Don't panic. Relax. Follow my breathing, exhale—"

Her warm breath brushing against his face was the final straw that crushed his remaining restraint.

Unable to hold back any longer, Quentin blindly lashed out, shoving her away on pure instinct.

As his hand landed, it brushed directly against the side of her chest, the soft curve grazing his palm.

Caught completely off guard, Bonnie stumbled backward, crashing hard into the coffee table behind her.

She steadied herself in shock, staring at the man who was now grasping blindly in the dark.

"Your emotional state just spiked way too high! It threw your nervous system into overdrive and caused vascular spasms in your visual cortex. That's what triggered this episode!"

"Quentin, you have to calm down right now. Take a deep breath."

Bonnie's voice was urgent, but Quentin was far beyond the point of reasoning.
