Chapter 20 My body was warm, like the sun was embracing me. Even the pain in my back was no longer so prominent.

I opened my eyes to see that the sky had already turned dark.

I tried to sit up, but an arm around my waist prevented me from doing so.

I was stunned before I figured out what was going on. A man was holding me in his arms, my back pressed against his chest. The warmth of his body wrapped me around like I was in a hot spring

The familiar scent of wine surrounded me, so I knew instantly that the man behind me was Enzo.

Once again, he saved me. Right on the verge of my death, he reached out his hand and pulled me back to life from hell

I tried to turn around, but the man woke up instantly from my slight movements. “Don’t move. You’re still injured,” Enzo whispered from behind me.

Actually, Andy had already healed most of my wounds, so turning around wasn’t difficult.

“I’m. F-fine…” I told Enzo.

“Yeah. You’re the best.” Enzo leaned in closer to my neck, his hot breath caressing my shoulder and neck

My heart was beating wildly, as I wished so badly that he could kiss my neck. “Can you tell me how you got hurt?” Enzo’s voice was hoarser now, the arm around my waist tightened as he spoke. I stayed silent. I didn’t know how to go about telling Enzo what led up to this because I didn’t want his pity. “Why won’t you say anything?” Enzo said as he lifted his head slightly to look at the side of my face.
