When There Is Nothing Left But Love

However… When I woke up, the sky was dark.

The moment I opened my eyes, a man’s sleeping face caught my attention. There were dark eye circles around his eyes, and light stubble appeared around his chin.

I looked around to see four white walls. This was the hospital ward.

Out of instinct, I stretched out my hand and touched my tummy uneasily. Fortunately, there was still a slight bulge on my stomach, and it no longer hurt.

“You’re awake?” The man beside me gruffly commented.

I was momentarily stunned. When I turned to look in his direction, I realized that Ashton was awake. He got out of the chair and walked to my side to pour a glass of water.

He placed the cup on my bedside table. “Do you want some water?”

His emotions were hard to decipher, and I cautiously asked, “Am I still pregnant?”

His pair of obsidian eyes pierced through my soul. He looked cold and terrifying. My heart was palpitating extremely fast as I widened my eyes and waited for his response.
