Hearing her soft voice, James couldn't help but get stiff.
James's hand suddenly grew hot as he was pulled by Elizabeth. Although her body temperature was normal, it made his fingers tremble lightly.
The heat of his hand slowly made him feel hot, which made his heart beat wildly.
His mind was a mess. He found he seemed to have forgotten how to think.
After being stunned for a long time, he calmed down a little. He looked down at the small hand in his hand and then slowly turned around...
"Elizabeth..."
He had wanted to ask if Elizabeth knew what she was doing. But he stopped suddenly when he saw her face.
She lay there with her eyes closed and her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She was still asleep and breathing evenly.
Looking at her like this, James felt only the joy that had just risen in his heart immediately disappear. It was as if he had been instantly poured with the cold water, and he felt a little lost.
He slightly smiled and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, "James, what are you looking forward to?"
He tried to pull his hand out. But after a few attempts, Elizabeth still clutched it tightly. Maybe it was because that she had gone through those things today and had nightmares. Even if she fell asleep now, she still felt extremely uneasy.
She put more strength into her hand and murmured, "I'm afraid..."
This time, he thought that he could not leave anyway.
He patted her hand gently with the hand that had not been held by her. Even though he knew that she might not hear it now, he still said softly, "Well... I'm not leaving. Don't be afraid."
His comforting voice slowly calmed her down. She no longer frowned, but she still held his hand tightly and showed no signs of letting go of his hand.
James had no choice but to sit on the edge of her bed and stare at her hand. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had already been injected and taken medicine, and his calves had been cleaned and bandaged. It was okay for him to sit for a while. But after a long time, his calf would inevitably swell up.
He changed his sitting posture slightly and moved slightly. Elizabeth, however, was extremely sensitive and suddenly gripped his hand more tightly.
He raised his eyebrows and sighed slightly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. If it was in the past, he might have already burst into anger. He thought if it were for him in the past, he would definitely wake her up and then leave. But now... He was reluctant to do that to her.
After a while, his legs were sitting numb and his back was stiff with pain. But he couldn't move. He could only grunt in discomfort, thinking that this woman were so troublesome.
Perhaps Elizabeth was disturbed by his grunting. She let go of his hand abruptly. Seeing this, James couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
But before he could relax completely, he found Elizabeth reaching out to scratch the wounds on her face.
James hurriedly reached out to hold her hand and stopped her from scratching her wounds.
In the next second, she reached out the other hand to scratch her arm again.
"Damn it! Can't you just stay still?"
