I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 498

The agent turned and walked away.

I pursed my lips and entered the room.

There was only one bed in the hotel room. Horace set down my suitcase and turned to look at me.

After some hesitation, I said, “Horace, maybe we should sleep in separate rooms.”

Before we got together, we were close friends, but not to the point of sharing a bed. Now that our relationship had progressed, I… I still wasn't ready to take that step with him.

Horace’s eyes darkened for a moment, but he smiled and ruffled my hair, his light tone masking his disappointment.

“Don’t listen to George’s nonsense. I know you’re not used to having me around yet, so I already got the room next door. If you need anything, just call out, and I’ll be right here.”

I looked at him and nodded, my mind heavy with thoughts. But I was also grateful. It was Horace, after all. He never made me feel uncomfortable.

Horace took his key card and left, the smile fading from his lips as the door closed.

…

Perhaps because the last few days had been so tense, I collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep, hazy sleep, and I began to dream.

I used to have many fragmented dreams about my past life, but this time, I only dreamed of when I had cancer.

I had stomach cancer, and Verna was the attending physician in the gastroenterology department. She was young and already highly acclaimed. Although I had never met her, in my final days, I often heard people talking about how brilliant she was, how adored she was by medical students, and how she and Steven were such a perfect, loving couple.
