The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 512

"Ma'am, you've seen it yourself. These past two years..."

The doctor paused, looking at Nora's indifferent profile, and let out a heavy sigh.

"He's taken too many massive hits over the last two years; his health is completely ruined. He has heavily relied on massive doses of antidepressants and sleeping pills just to function, and his diet has been nonexistent."

"Ma'am, please just bear with it and sit by him for a little while."

The doctor pulled up a chair and placed it beside the bed. "Mr. Hayes is completely delirious from the fever. If you pull away by force, you'll hurt him."

Unable to break free from his vice-like grip, Nora was forced to sit in the chair.

The storage room gradually grew quiet.

The medical staff and bodyguards retreated outside to give the patient room to rest, leaving only Nora sitting by his side.

With her wrist still pinned desperately to Gideon's chest, she could feel the frantic, heavy pounding of his heart against her palm.

She should have just ripped her hand away.

Yet her feet felt glued to the floor, and she didn't summon the extra strength needed to break his hold.

Lowering her eyelashes, her gaze fell onto Gideon's tortured face.

His lips were cracked and peeling from the high fever, his brows knitted tightly together as if he were trapped in a terrifying nightmare he could never wake from.

Nora watched him quietly, the emotions at the bottom of her heart chaotic and suffocating.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Gideon had been absolutely convinced she was the murderer who killed Giselle.

In his eyes, she was a deeply wicked, sinful woman—the mastermind who caused him to lose his closest family member.
