?Chapter 204:


    “It’s just a bump from a stone. I’ll be fine with some rest.” She wasn’t ready to discuss her condition with Brian. Going to the hospital would reveal everything.


    Brian pulled her close, his tone soft as he said, “Are you sure you’re not hurt anywhere else besides your head?”


    Rachel shook her head. “I’m fine.”


    “Please, for your peace of mind, get checked out.”


    She swiftly moved behind him, grasping his hand. “No, I don’t want to go to the hospital. I just want to be at home. Can you take me there?”


    Seeing her hesitation, Brian gently persuaded her. “Let’s just have a quick CT scan, okay? It won’t take long.”


    “Alright, but only scan my head.”


    Brian nodded in agreement. “Okay, just your head.” With this assurance, she agreed to the scan.


    The CT scan revealed no serious problems, so Brian drove her home.


    Upon arriving at Carol’s ce, Rachel looked around, puzzled.


    Brian exined, “I already told Grandma you were safe and convinced her to go to bed. She was really worried about you, though. She’ll want to see you first thing when she wakes up. She’s old, and it’s hard for her to get out, so staying here is best.”


    Rachel nodded. “That was thoughtful of you.”


    Once home, Brian personally prepared her bath, even bringing her a towel and pajamas.


    Rachel watched his careful attention, momentarily lost in thought. Overwhelmed by emotion, she walked up to him, hugged him from behind, and with a soft, shaky voice, asked, “Have you made your decision about our wedding?”


    ???é?? ???t?€я? ?n Ga?n?νεl?.???


    Brian turned and wrapped her in his arms.


    When he didn’t immediately respond, Rachel’s anxiety grew. “You…”


    He then kissed her forehead and said, his voice calm and reassuring, “My answer is yes. I have to travel for work for about a month. When I get back, we’ll get married. Okay?”


    Rachel looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes. “Really?”


    He nodded, his expression earnest.


    “Okay, I believe you,” she said.


    Knowing her time was limited, Rachel hoped to createsting memories in the months she had left. That way, even if her time came, she’d have no regrets.


    Her greatest dream had always been to marry him and be his wife. If she could fulfill this dream before her time was up, she would be content.


    After the shower, Rachel nestled into thefort of Brian’s arms. His presence enveloped her in warmth.


    Positioned on her left side, Briany snugly behind her, his arms securing her close. As he held her, the memory of her recent mishap lingered in his mind, causing his heart to beat anxiously.


    He whispered firmly, his head lowered, “You must promise me not to visit such dangerous ces by yourself, agreed?”


    While speaking, he yfully nibbled on her earlobe, teasing her gently.


    Initially, the sensation made Rachel giggle and squirm.
