Levi clasped his hands behind his head and lied back down. A loud clap of thunder sounded and rain could be heard pelting against the roof. Listing to the pitter-patter of raindrops falling, Levi couldn't fall into slumber no matter how hard he tried.
Monique was always on his mind...
He did not know long he remained in a daze, but eventually, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. It was light and gentle as if the owner was worried about rousing him from his sleep.
It was so late. The nurses were done with their ward rounds. It was likely a thief or someone with ulterior motives.
At the thought, Levi instantly became alert. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He wanted to see what the person was up to.
Soon, the person pushed the door open gently and closed it again. He heard the sound of footsteps approaching him gradually. It came to halt by his bed.
Judging from the footsteps, the person must be trained in combat...
Levi was prepared. If the person made a move, he would overcome him within seconds. He would teach these punks a lesson. After all, Levi was a soldier!
However, the person stood quietly by his bed and did not make a move.
Just as Levi was about to doze off, the person finally moved. However, he did not open his closet, nor did he harm Levi. Instead, he pulled the quilt gently over him.
Levi had tossed and turned on the bed as he couldn't sleep a wink. As a result, the quilt had fallen.
Just as he was about to open his eyes to see who the person was, he breathed in a familiar scent.
The faint, sweet scent was close. He recognized it immediately. It was Monique's unique scent. She did not reek of heavy perfume, unlike his usual beautiful girlfriends.
After tucking him up in bed, she made no further move. She sat down quietly on a stool by his bed without making any sound. It was apparent that she was afraid to disturb his sleep.
It was Monique!
Was she planning to do something to him while he was asleep?
Even if she didn't have the courage to do anything, she could speak her mind and say whatever she wants since she thought he was asleep.
However, she didn't.
She didn't do anything, nor say anything.
Half an hour later, Monique remained beside his bed, without moving an inch.
Levi wanted to wait for her to do something. He didn't mind if she complained or made a fuss, but she didn't. She remained silent just as usual. He could hardly feel her presence.
Monique didn't budge but Levi patience wore thin. He did not want to wait anymore.
He slowly opened his eyes. In the dim light, he saw Monique sitting beside his bed.
