T—he first thing Joshua Wayne did when he opened his eyes was to prop himself up and check the wounds on the arm of the lady beside him.
Elizabeth Jones was still in deep sleep, but her sleep was not peaceful. Her delicate eyebrows were frowned tightly, revealing some pain. Her arm was injured, and she slept very late last night, but when she fell asleep, she had nightmares.
Joshua Wayne realized that her arms were exposed outside the blanket. When he touched it, he discovered that it was cold. He covered the arms with the blanket, but awakening Elizabeth Jones.
She opened her eyes and was startled to see the handsome face that was just inches away from her.
"You're awake?" Elizabeth Jones's complexion looked a little better. There was no longer that pained look from before.
That was because she had to open her eyes to rid herself of that nightmare. She was still sleeping by his side, not facing the darkness alone.
Joshua Wayne made a sound of acknowledgement, then said in a commanding tone: "Don't move, I'm going to participate in my big brother's engagement banquet today, do you want to go?"
"Me? I won't be going! " Elizabeth Jones shook her head, it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that she felt too ashamed to go.
Joshua Wayne did not force her, and nodded: "Alright, since you are injured, you should not walk around, rest at home, if there is anything you need, remember to give me a call."
"Alright!" Elizabeth Jones heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he did not force her to go.
Joshua Wayne got off the bed, went into the bathroom and washed up. He did not go straight to the changing room to choose his clothes, but went out of the bedroom to put a kettle of water on the stove, and placed a cup of warm water beside the bed. Then, he went back to the kitchen.
After Elizabeth Jones woke up, she couldn't fall back asleep, and didn't dare sleep either. She was afraid that she would have that nightmare again.
She was wearing a set of loose pajamas when she walked out. When she heard the sounds coming from the kitchen, she was slightly shocked, and immediately walked over, only to see that Joshua Wayne, who was wearing a blue robe, was cooking eggs in a pot. Beside her, there were a few pieces of bread that were already giving off a rich fragrance, and on the other side, there was a small stove that was warming up the milk.
Joshua Wayne inadvertently turned his gaze to the side, and glanced at her indifferently: "Didn't I tell you to lie still and not move? Who told you to get up? "
"I can't sleep!" Elizabeth Jones grinned, then walked in and asked him: "What are you doing?"
"I am cooking you breakfast!" Joshua Wayne still maintained his indifferent tone, as if what he was doing now was only a very ordinary thing.
However, Elizabeth Jones was completely shocked by his behaviors. Because Joshua Wayne did none of the housework before, now woke up early in the morning to make breakfast for her. Furthermore, his repertoire was apparently expanding! Where did he learn all this from?.
It was simply unbelievable!
Joshua Wayne frowned, seeing her using one hand to support the injured arm, silently looking at him, in her clear and sparkling eyes.
"Were you t by me again?" Joshua Wayne suddenly took two steps forward in anger, and condescendingly stare the teardrops in her eyes, his thin lips curling up into a smile: "Alright, don't be like that!"
Elizabeth Jones reached out her hands to wipe her tears, and said in a low voice: "Joshua Wayne, why are you so good to me again?"
"You're injured. I can't possibly argue with a patient, can I?" Joshua Wayne laughed.
Elizabeth Jones knew that he had purposely changed the topic. She lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes, "I am truly afraid to enjoy this kind of warmth that you have shown me. I am afraid ... I'm afraid that one day, I'll lose you and end up with nothing at all. That feeling of coming down to the world, just like what you said before, is truly difficult to bear."
When she thought of how she had been trapped at home all by herself, how there was no hope for the future, that feeling, she had had enough and she was afraid.
If one didn't have a taste of the sweetness before, one wouldn't feel how bitter their days were. Humans were such ridiculous characters; once they had a sweet taste, the bitternesswould be doubled.
Joshua Wayne frowned, listening to her words, he felt wronged and pitiful.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you anymore. Trust me!" Joshua Wayne reached out his hands to catch that teardrop that had slid down to her chin. Then, it was as if he was making a promise to her.
