After holding up for a while, Rachel gave up and slept face down on Sean's bedside. Now Adam was the only waking person, he not only had to work but also had to call the nurse at any time to switch the infusion bottle for Sean.
Tracey woke up after two hours of sleep. She got off the bed, walking quietly toward Adam, who was fully focus on working.
"Adam, go to sleep. I'm worried you will collapse." Tracey whispered to Adam.
"Don't worry, I'm okay."
Seeing Adam's bloodshot eyes, Tracey was distressed. Ever since she returned from overseas and knew Adam, she had always been protected well by this man.
No matter what happened, Adam always stood with Tracey to fight against the difficulties, even though he should have lived a free life.
If it was just because he was a man, so he had to take on so many responsibilities, it would be too unfair to him.
"Adam, take a rest." Tracey held his cheek. Adam wanted to refuse, but when he looked into Tracey’s pleading eyes, he had to agree.
"Okay." He lay on the bed that Tracey slept on just now, and Tracey covered him with the quilt.
Love was a matter that needed two people's hard work. With only one person's effort to maintain the relationship, it would be far less. The couple should support each other.
After Adam falling asleep, Tracey sorted out his documents and locked his computer screen. If the confidential documents were seen by others, that would be a loss.
The ward return to peace. Tracey stood by the window, looking at the skyscrapers in the distance.
When she was in America, she hated A City, because she had lived here for many years, but her memories were all about darkness.
Didn’t know from when Tracey gradually fell in love with this city. Maybe because with Adam’s company, she knew that there were many things besides sorrow in this world, she knew it for the first time that she had love.
Not too long ago, she even had decided to leave this city forever as soon as finish avenging. Now she changed her mind and fell into a thirst for having a home with Adam, and living with him happily here, right in this city.
A beautiful picture of the future life became vivid in Tracey's head. "My dream will come true someday." She thought.
She smiled. When Sean woke up, he saw Tracey standing by the window, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Such a smile was not the innocent one she had when she was with Sean but a smile with a little charm of being a mature woman. Her eyes were full of tenderness.
Sean was clear that Tracey smiled like this was not for him at all. "She is happy now and I should go. Why I am so reluctant?" Sean thought. What he wanted was Tracey could return to him and smiled at him every day.
Feeling a gaze coming over, Tracey hurriedly turned her head and she found Sean was looking at her quietly.
Thinking that he could not move now, she asked with concern, "Are you hungry or thirsty?"
"I'm thirsty." Sean tried to conceal his mind, and his throat was fully dry.
"Okay, I'll give you some water." She poured water into a cup and held Sean's back to help him up for drinking.
The fragrance of Tracey's hair ran into Sean's nose. In this scent, Sean's desire for Tracey was getting stronger.
Tracey handed the cup to his lips, and Sean picked it up. As Sean reached his hand out, he held Tracey's hand, their hands attached to each other tightly.
Tracey could not accept to touch the body parts of any man other than Adam, she had recovered from scare last night and returned sober, so she subconsciously took her hand out of Sean’s grasp.
The cup fell, and the water also fell on the quilt. A trace of loss flashed across Sean's eyes, and a few drops of water splashed on Rachel's face to wake her up.
