But Erick couldn't get rid of his desire for Elin. During the years she was away, he had led a celibate life, but upon reuniting with Elin, he found himself truly struggling to control his desires.

Elin, who was more direct than Erick, later consoled him by saying: "We are both adults, and having needs is normal. Don't worry. "We can just be companions."

By uttering those words, Elin unequivocally acknowledged that their relationship was solely one of companionship.

However, Erick had a hard time fully accepting this term. Especially when Elin took on the role of companion, the complexity of her emotions increased. He hoped she would love him, but deep down he was afraid that she would develop feelings for him. He knew he couldn't give her what she really wanted. All he could do was provide him with the necessary help and some comfort, nothing beyond that.

Erick got up and said quietly: “You will sleep in this room and I will be next door. Call me if you need anything. "Try to rest soon."

With that, he turned around, ready to go and rest.

However, a delicate hand caught the corner of her nightgown.

When Erick looked down, his gaze moved from Elin's hand to her face, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Elin, feeling a sudden fondness for the warmth that Erick provided her, wanted to treat herself this once, without containing her feelings.

"Can you stay with me?" he asked.

Looking at him with teary eyes, his beauty not diminished by the bruises, he seemed fragile.

The silent presence of a delicate woman had the power to awaken a man's protective instincts. Erick did not dare to refuse.

In reality, his intention was for Elin to rest alone. For two people who had shared intimacy, sleeping in the same bed was not easy. Even a gentle touch could rekindle deeper emotions.

Erick decided not to take off his nightgown and lay down fully dressed, turned off the light, brought Elin closer and whispered to her: "Sleep." To come forward at that moment would be inhumane.

During today's physical, when the doctor asked Elin routine questions, including whether she was menstruating or pregnant, she answered no to all of them.

Erick realized that he had misunderstood. I didn't have my period.

Growing up with a distant father, Elin had always lacked a sense of security. Now, in Erick's arms, she felt completely safe and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Erick, accustomed to sleeping naked, felt uncomfortable without taking off his pajamas out of consideration for Elin's feelings. With her soft body in his arms, falling asleep was a real challenge for any normal man.

In a state of semi-consciousness, Elin suddenly screamed and began to wave her arms, accidentally hitting Erick in the face.

Erick, startled by the involuntary blow, fearful that he might hurt himself, quickly grabbed her arms.

Elin, her body drenched in sweat, screamed, “Let go of me! "Let go of me."

«Elin! "Elin!" Erick murmured, coaxing gently. «Don't be afraid. Open your eyes and see who I am.

Hearing his voice, Elin, bewildered, reluctantly opened her eyes and found herself staring at Erick's handsome face, just inches away.

She blinked, a tear slipping from the corner of her eye, and whispered: "Erick..."
