Weston‘s heart turned mushy at once.
“Okay.” He rested his forehead against hers.
Though he only gave her a one–word reply, there was actually a turbulence in his heart.
He should not have let her out of his sight.
No matter how much she made a scene, he would never let her leave his side again.
He hugged her and asked the doctor to come forward to treat her wound.
Seeing his signal , the doctor came over with the gauze carefully. “I shall disinfect her wound now…”
But the moment his hand touched her skin, she shook his hand off her violently.
“Don‘t, don‘t touch me!
“Don‘t touch me!”
Stella , who had calmed down with much difficulty , was suddenly emotional again.
She was trembling, clinging to the man‘s waist and burrowing her face into
his arms. “Don‘t touch me! Go away! Go away…”
Her memory seemed to be out of whack.
For one moment, she reacted like she was in the speakeasy with that man.
In the next moment, she thought she was on the balcony that night, when the kidnapper had held a
knife against her and threatened to humiliate her before her death.
The faces of those men kept appearing before her eyes, trapping her in the dark abyss where she was
unable to escape.
He held her tightly and soothed her. He could feel her shivering
again, and his heart ached. However, all he could do was say to her patiently, “Don‘t be scared. I am he
re. No one will be able
to do anything to you anymore.” She closed her eyes tightly and started crying. “Dad, Mom, don‘t leave
me alone…
“Don‘t leave me alone…”
Her voice was choking with emotions.
It had been too long.
She had been holding on alone for too long.
She suddenly missed her parents very much. Ever since they died, she did not dare to be
weak, nor did she dare to rely on anyone or stop.
Even when she had to face all the difficulties alone, she could only bite the bullet and walk on.
She did not dare to slack in the slightest.
But she was really tired.
She was exasperated. She had devoted herself to protecting her family, yet they left her one by one in t
he end.
And her baby…
She suddenly touched her belly as tears rolled down her face.
“Don‘t leave me alone… my baby…“.
When he heard the two words, the man‘s eyes flickered, and he tightened his arms slowly.
He knew that the biggest barrier that straddled the two was the child.
He felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Though he was nearly invincible , he could not bring the dead back to life.
This was the only thing he could not do.
But it was what she wanted the most. “I will give you a child.”
Weston held her tightly and kissed her ear, slowly sliding down her face.
“Trust me, Stella.”
Stella kept shaking her head, as if she couldn‘t hear him.
Her mood was up and down. She was clearly irritated and looked a bit dazed.
A psychiatrist had reminded him once that he should pay attention to Stella’s mood because she had sh
and said to the doctor, “Give it to me.”
He would treat her wound himself.
