Thaddeus felt as if his chest was filled with sharp stones, his hands clenched tightly on his own shirt.
He thought, “No, this wasn’t right. Evadne. I am not a man of whims, and my affection for you is not some fleeting fancy. Does belated love not count as love? Thirteen years ago, we faced life and death together. Thirteen years later, we faced it together again. We seem to be entwined in a bond that’s hard to break.”
For the first time in his life, Thaddeus understood the meaning of a love that’s hard to express. For the first time, he felt the suffocating feeling of having so much to say, yet unable to utter a word.
But in the end, he remained silent. It wasn’t the time to speak.
He needed to act.
Although Evadne’s fever had subsided, her body had not fully recovered. She had been too tired to guard against the bad guy and fell asleep soon after her head hit the pillow.
But Thaddeus kept his eyes wide open, staring at her intently as if guarding her, without any hint of sleepiness.
Only when he was sure Evadne was really asleep did he manage to bear the pain and slowly got up from the bed, tiptoeing to the sofa.
Originally, he wanted to quietly admire Evadne’s peaceful and adorable sleeping face, but he couldn’t bear to see her sleep in such a position, so he gently picked up her weak and soft body.
His long lashes lowered, and his palm became slightly sweaty as he held her. His jawline, sharp as a blade, couldn’t help but nuzzle against her soft hair.
“Hmm.” Evadne moaned in her sleep, like a sleeping baby in his arms, making a soft cooing sound.
The man’s gaze deepened, his throat felt dry and itchy. He wanted to kiss her, his thin lips hovering just above hers, but he held back.
He had thought that he had married a naive innocent girl.
But now he realized, she was a little demon who had hooked his soul.
The next day, Evadne woke up from her sleep and stretched contentedly in bed.
She had slept surprisingly well this night.
Wait a minute.
Evadne quickly sat up, looking around anxiously. She found herself sleeping in a bed!
What happened? Did she sleepwalk?
Evadne quickly lifted the blanket, saw her clothes were intact, and remembered that this was a narrow single bed. Thaddeus, with his dominating physique, should not be able to squeeze in… and if he did, she would have definitely felt it…
At this moment, Thaddeus was not in the ward!
Evadne punched–the bed angrily, cursing under her breath.
Did he run around with such severe injuries? Was he trying to get himself killed?
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Jason’s voice came through.
“Miss Evadne? Are you awake?”
“Come in.” Evadne, worried that Jason might get the wrong idea, quickly got out of bed and sat down on the sofa.
