I Got Married Without You

Chapter 1497 Nightmares 

Paul suddenly raised his hand and touched her cheek.

When his warm fingertips covered her face, Eva instinctively recoiled.

“What are you doing?”

“Does it hurt?”

The tenderness in his tone and the gentleness in his actions momentarily stunned Eva.,

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

She turned her head away, avoiding his touch. Her mind was still overwhelmed, and all she wanted was to heal her wounds and clean herself up.

With this in mind, she turned her head and looked at Paul, whose fingers were still suspended in mid- air.

“Paul, there are doctors here to take care of me. You should go back.”

Upon hearing this, Paul slowly retracted his fingers.

“I will stay at the hospital during this time to take care of you.”

“You…”

“I know you don’t want to be close to any man right now, but please believe me, I won’t do anything to you.”

He knew she needed time to recover, and he would be by her side, accompanying her through this nightmare.

The unwavering determination in his eyes left Eva momentarily speechless.

“Paul, you are not obligated to take care of me.”

There was no relationship left between them, and they had even had many conflicts, which made the situation quite awkward.

Paul didn’t respond to Eva’s words. He simply took her hand, pressed her hand back, and lowered his head to continue applying medicine.

After finishing the treatment, he put down the cotton swab, turned around, and left. Eva thought he had left because she waited for a long time and he didn’t come back.

She closed her tired eyes and fell asleep quickly. The man waiting outside, once she was completely asleep, he reentered and sat down by the hospital bed,

Because of the medication, Eva slept deeply and had nightmares. Cold sweat occasionally appeared on her forehead, and her frail body curled up.

Her hands remained tightly clenched, as if in her dreams, she was fighting desperately with someone. Her brows furrowed, as if being pulled into an abyss.

Seeing her in such pain, Paul hesitated for a long time before getting up and sitting at the head of the bed. Then, he carefully and gently embraced her.

While holding Eva, he softly comforted her, “Eva, don’t be afraid. I’m here and you’ll be fine. I’ll always be by your side.”

In her nightmare, Eva seemed to have grasped a lifeline and tightly held onto the large hand wrapped around her waist. Gradually, she calmed down…

When Paul saw that she was no longer sweating, he carefully let go of her, intending to get off the bed. However, she grabbed his hand and wouldn’t let go. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

It seemed that his hand brought her a sense of security, and she held onto it tightly…
