Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 264 I Hope You Don’t Regret This

In the stillness of the night, the wind outside rustled the tree branches and caused the heavy curtains to

billow.

The weather in April wasn’t too cold. As the wind blew into the ward, a bitter scent of herbs filled the air.

Upon waking, Vera didn’t want to face Eric. She turned her head to look out the window at the fluttering curtains. “If you don’t want me anymore, why are you still at the hospital? You should go. I don’t need you

to take care of me.”

Eric picked up the medicine from the bedside table. It was a thick black liquid that emitted an unpleasant smell. “Alright,” he said, setting down the bowl of medicine. He stood up and glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s twelve now. I’ll give you ten minutes to calm down. Think it over, and I’ll come back in.”

“Eric!” Vera anxiously called out to him.

Eric halted in his tracks.

“Are you calm now?”

Vera bit her lip and nodded, “Yes.”

Eric sat down by the bed, tucking her in with the quilt. “Drink it while it’s hot. After the drip, I’ll take you home. There’s no rush to go to school tomorrow. I’ve already taken leave for you.”

Vera grasped his hands with both of hers, interlocking their fingers. Her face was pale as she pleaded, “Eric, can we just pretend that nothing happened earlier? I’m still your girlfriend. Can we please not break up? You may not like me now, but who knows, you might in the future. I know you’re into someone like Eileen. I can change for you and become the type you like. As long as you don’t break up with me, I’m willing to do anything.”

Loving someone was the ultimate form of humility.

Throughout their lives, they had experienced so much together. Vera had quietly resolved to become his wife in the future, a decision that would never change.

Despite her pleas, her voice was filled with restraint.
