Those deep black eyes stared intently at her. Looking at his gaze, it was as though he wanted to look at her forever.
Kyla froze for a while before quickly sitting up. With her face slightly red, she said to Martin Weiss, âIâ¦
Iâm going back to my ward first. You⦠You should continue getting some rest.â
With that, she quickly got out of bed and left.
Martin Weissâs eyes were on Kyla until her figure disappeared from the ward. Then, he slowly looked down at his hands.
His hands were still wrapped in gauze, and he had injuries all over his body. However, his heart was jubilant.
She had laid down by his side last night, sleeping peacefully with him. He had been longing for this all these years.
He cherished it even if it was only done out of sympathy.
Even after she fell asleep, he kept his eyes open, looking at her. He was afraid that all this would disappear if he closed his eyes.
He had been telling himself not to expect anything. All he had to do in this life was to silently protect her and not disturb her life.
However, a faint sense of hope vaguely rose in his heart again.
The hope seemed to grow stronger, especially at the sight of the blush on her face.
Could he⦠expect more?
Was she not entirely indifferent to him? Did he still have a place in her heart?
âKyla⦠will you give me another chance? Just one more time⦠Iâll live up to it this time, no matter what happens,â his lips murmured almost silently.
Just one more time⦠All he wanted was one chance!
Kyla ran back to her ward next door and arrived at the bathroom.
The mirror above the sink reflected her slightly flustered expression, and the blush on her cheeks seemed to be telling her something.
Kyla took a deep breath, quickly picked up the towel, and washed her face.
âWhatâs wrong with me? I unconsciously fell asleep in Martin Weissâs hospital bed. Iâm so flustered right now.â
This panic was not only because she spent a night in Martin Weissâs ward but also because⦠Kyla raised her hand to her heart. She could feel that her heartbeat was far more intense than usual.
Martin Weiss had negotiated with the police to suppress the incident, so the kidnapping was not reported in the news.
The police also came to the hospital to take Kylaâs statement.
Kyla found out what had happened from the police. Mr. Lambert had confessed to everything, and it turned out that Jacqueline Bowman was involved.
The amulet that Jacqueline Bowman gave her was why she fell unconscious in the car. It contained a fragrance that could induce coma, especially in a confined space.
It was why Jacqueline Bowman made up an excuse and left her alone in the car after giving her the amulet.
Kyla was not too surprised that Jacqueline Bowman was involved.
After all, she had already thought of the possibility earlier.
However, she still felt disappointed after getting a definitive answer from the police.
