Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Can I Kiss You?

SOPHIA’S POV

I lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, but I wasn’t really seeing it.

My body still felt weak, like all my strength had been drained out of me. The fever had gone down slightly, but I could still feel the heat inside me.

Zade sat beside me.

He hadn’t moved much since he came back into the room. His presence was calm and I could feel his attention on me constantly.

“You should try to sleep,” he said softly.

I turned my head slightly to look at him. “I just woke up,”

“That doesn’t mean you’ve rested enough,”

I didn’t argue. I didn’t have the energy to.

I looked at the IV stand beside the bed. The clear fluid in the bag was almost empty now. I hadn’t even noticed how much time had passed.

Zade noticed it immediately.

“Your IV is almost done,” he said, standing up.

I watched him quietly as he walked over to the stand.

“You don’t have to do that,” I said softly. “You can call a nurse.”

“I know,” he replied calmly.

He didn’t stop. Instead, he carefully removed the empty bag and replaced it with a new one, making sure everything was properly connected. His fingers moved carefully. His expression was focused.

I watched him the entire time. His actions, the way he was so gentle with things that concerned me, it made my heart skip a beat.

“You’ve done this before?” I asked.

“A few times,” he said.

That didn’t surprise me. Zade always seemed like the kind of person who knew how to handle things on his own.

When he finished, he adjusted the line slightly and then looked at me again.

“Does it hurt?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No.”

He nodded then returned to the chair beside the bed.

The room fell quiet again but it wasn’t uncomfortable. The silence was different from before.

Before, silence used to feel heavy, suffocating, like something was missing. But now, it felt... calm. I felt safe here.

I didn’t understand it. Hell, I didn’t even know how to explain it. And that made me uneasy.

“You shouldn’t stay,” I said after a moment.

Zade looked at me. “Why?”

“It’s not necessary,”

“It is to me,”

His answer was simple, but it carried weight.

I looked away. I didn’t want him to see how much his words affected me.

“You don’t have to do this,” I said quietly. “You don’t owe me anything.”

“I’m not doing it because I owe you,”

I didn’t respond, because I didn’t know how to.

Then I felt it. Zade leaned closer. My breath caught slightly.

He didn’t touch me immediately. He just stayed there, close enough that I could feel his warmth. His presence was so intense that it made my heart beat faster.

“Sophia,” he said softly.

I turned my head slightly toward him. my heart race picked up. I could feel my skin tingling.

His eyes were serious, but there was something deeper in them, something that made my heart skip a beat.

“Can I kiss you?” he asked.

The question caught me off guard. My mind went blank for a second.
