Chapter 1459

When Neera woke up again, it was early morning the next day. The bedside lamp was still on, and though the daylight was breaking outside, the sun had not fully risen yet.

She felt her hand being enveloped by a sizable, warm palm, the dry and warm sensation within the palm evoking a familiar sense of comfort from the depths of her heart.

She gently moved her fingers, tracing the skin of that hand with her fingertips.

However, she didn’t wake him up.

Neera’s eyes adapted to the light, and she turned her head to find a man leaning over her bedside, soundly asleep.

His usual light sleep, easily disrupted by the slightest movement or sound, was undisturbed this time -a clear indication of profound exhaustion.

Neera looked at the crown of his head with clear eyes, sensing an overwhelming tenderness in her heart.

These past few days had to have been terrifying for him. He had been with her all along, enduring worries and fears, and she had no idea how long he had stayed awake.

In reality, and even in her dreams, she experienced sensations.

The memories preceding her unconsciousness consistently intertwined with her in the dream realm, unsettling her peace of mind.

She wanted to be clear-headed, to shake off those images from her mind, but her consciousness felt like it had plunged into a deep abyss, sinking deeper and deeper.

In her daze, she seemed to be struggling, but she could feel a warm, reassuring hand holding onto her throughout.

The painful experiences that haunted her before slipping into unconsciousness now seemed insignificant the moment she saw this man peacefully sleeping. They were no longer as fearsome.

Her heart gradually calmed down, feeling a sense of tranquility. A slight smile formed at the corner of her lips, unintentionally pulling at the not-yet-healed wound, causing her to wince.
