Chapter 1497 Nightmares


    Paul suddenly raised his hand and touched her cheek.


    When his warm fingertips covered her face, Eva instinctively recoiled.


    “What are you doing?”


    “Does it hurt?”


    The tenderness in his tone and the gentleness in his actions momentarily stunned Eva.,


    “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”


    She turned her head away, avoiding his touch. Her mind was still overwhelmed, and all she wanted


    was to heal her wounds and clean herself up.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    With this in mind, she turned her head and looked at Paul, whose fingers were still suspended in mid-


    air.


    “Paul, there are doctors here to take care of me. You should go back.”


    Upon hearing this, Paul slowly retracted his fingers.


    “I will stay at the hospital during this time to take care of you.”


    “You…”


    “I know you don’t want to be close to any man right now, but please believe me, I won’t do anything to


    you.”


    He knew she needed time to recover, and he would be by her side, apanying her through this


    nightmare.


    The unwavering determination in his eyes left Eva momentarily speechless.


    “Paul, you are not obligated to take care of me.”


    There was no rtionship left between them, and they had even had many conflicts, which made the


    situation quite awkward.


    Paul didn’t respond to Eva’s words. He simply took her hand, pressed her hand back, and lowered his


    head to continue applying medicine.


    After finishing the treatment, he put down the cotton swab, turned around, and left. Eva thought he had


    left because she waited for a long time and he didn’te back.


    She closed her tired eyes and fell asleep quickly. The man waiting outside, once she waspletely


    asleep, he reentered and sat down by the hospital bed,


    Because of the medication, Eva slept deeply and had nightmares. Cold sweat asionally appeared


    on her forehead, and her frail body curled up.


    Her hands remained tightly clenched, as if in her dreams, she was fighting desperately with someone.


    Her brows furrowed, as if being pulled into an abyss.


    Seeing her in such pain, Paul hesitated for a long time before getting up and sitting at the head of the


    bed. Then, he carefully and gently embraced her.


    While holding Eva, he softlyforted her, “Eva, don’t be afraid. I’m here and you’ll be fine. I’ll always


    be by your side.”


    In her nightmare, Eva seemed to have grasped a lifeline and tightly held onto therge hand wrapped


    around her waist. Gradually, she calmed down…


    When Paul saw that she was no longer sweating, he carefully let go of her, intending to get off the bed.


    However, she grabbed his hand and wouldn’t let go.


    It seemed that his hand brought her a sense of security, and she held onto it tightly…
