Sleep Together
“Thank you, Ms. Tanner. This guy committed an unforgivable crime. We must punish him according to our local laws,” Arthur exclaimed agitatedly.
“Sure, I’ll leave him to you. I’ll leave two undercover guards here to assist you.” She was still worried about leaving him with Arthur. After all, Kaarle was a cunning man.
“Thanks, Ms. Tanner. They would never forget the favor Sophie had done to them.
After leaving the two undercover guards there, Tristan finally hopped into the car and headed back with the rest. Fandar was still chaotic and disorganized. Since he was already there, it was only right to restore some order in the area.
They returned to their base, utterly exhausted from the long ordeal. It was time they got some well- deserved rest.
“Bertram, ask everyone to have a good rest. Once they’re all refreshed, we’ll sort out the chaos around here,” Tristan instructed Bertram.
“Got it, Mr. Tristan.”
Tristan let everyone rest after lunch. Sophie was also feeling exhausted and sleepy by then. As soon as she got back, she took a quick shower.
When she stepped out, she spotted Tristan waiting outside.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t we already rescue him?” Why does he still look like that? She guessed. “Did anything happen to Felix?”
Sophie was so tired that she had not checked on him.
However, when she visited him the previous time, there was nothing wrong.
“Nothing. Just go to sleep! I’ll take a shower too. Tristan was a bit annoyed, though it wasn’t about anything serious.
“Okay, go shower. I’ll check on Felix.”
Since everything was fine now, she wanted to visit Felix for a while before sleeping.
Sophie arrived just when Felix woke up. Seeing him awake, Ysabelle found herself at a loss for words.
“You actually came?” exclaimed Felix in disbelief. “I thought you didn’t want to see me ever again! I didn’t expect you to visit me!”
He was genuinely shocked. To his greater surprise, Ysabelle cried even harder after he finished speaking.
“What’s wrong, Ysabelle? Please don’t cry! It breaks my heart whenever I see you cry. I’m sorry, okay? Please stop crying”
He was willing to do anything as long as she stopped crying.
“I’m sorry, Felix. If I hadn’t broken up with you, you wouldn’t have come here. It’s all my fault that you ended up in this situation. I’m sorry.”
She had been consumed by guilt since his accident.
“Don’t blame yourself. I came here on my own accord. Please, don’t cry. My heart aches when I see you cry,” comforted Felix, his voice laced with concern.
“Mhm
Felix extended his hand and gently wiped her tears away.”
“You must be in a lot of pain, right?” asked Ysabelle, thinking that he looked like he was hurting greatly.
“Yeah, it really hurts!”
Tears streamed down Ysabelle’s cheeks again. She knew that it must have hurt.
“But the pain disappeared the moment I saw you. Let’s not break up, okay? I don’t want to let you go.” Felix pleaded pitifully.
“Okay. We won’t break up.” She would not be so reckless in the future. From now on, she would cherish their time together and avoid any arguments.
As Felix attempted to sit up, he accidentally pressed on his wound.
“What are you doing? Don’t move about recklessly!”
