Eleanor had pulled an all-nighter, fighting off fatigue to keep an eye on him.
It wasn't until the morning sun came in through the windows that she began to feel a little tired.
The man who just woke up opened his hazy eyes and looked at the woman who was leaning against the head of the bed in light sleep. The warm light sprinkled on her body, exuding a soft breath. Just looking at her seemed to ease some of the intense pain he felt as the effect of the medicine wore off.
A smile appeared on his pale face.
Maybe because she was too worried about him, Eleanor had a light sleep. She quickly opened her eyes and instinctively reached out to feel his forehead.
But it happened to meet those star-like eyes, as if they were attractive, they suddenly struck her, making her unable to look away. He was so handsome, even the stars couldn’t compare. In her heart, he was the only one, incomparably good looking.
She stared at him in surprise for a moment, then placed her hand on his forehead. His temperature was normal, no longer feverish.
"Are you hungry?"
The man shook his head, bearing the pain, held her hand and asked her to lie down next to him.
"Take a good sleep first, don't worry about anything else."
She was not his maid, she didn't need to do these things, just being by his side was enough.
Eleanor smiled warmly, nodding her head. Before she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but glance at the wound on his back.
The man covered her eyes with his hand.
"Sleep."
His deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, slowly easing her worries and fears.
Eleanor curled up next to him, clutching his hand, and soon fell asleep.
Her days of fatigue, anxiety, and restlessness were slightly alleviated with his return.
When she woke up, the doctor had arrived to treat Bernard's wounds.
Since there had been an infection, they needed to disinfect before treating the wound.
Seeing Bernard shiver slightly as the doctor disinfected him, Eleanor couldn't help but shed tears again.
Bernard, who had been watching her the whole time, saw her crying for him again and frowned.
"Aidyn, take her to pick up Nina."
He wanted her to leave, not wanting her to witness such a bloody scene, but Eleanor refused to leave.
