His deep yet bright eyes watched Serenity quietly, reflecting her silhouette. He had spoken with such seriousness that her eyes
started to heat up and she had to do her best to suppress theyers of mist forming.
Serenity gently held his right hand, her slender fingertips hooked the bandage wrapped around it, and her eyes turned sour.
If he had not found her in time, she would probably have lost her life.
Gabriel used his left hand to caress her pale face. “You must be hungry. Mrs. Winstead sent over ck chicken soup this
morning. I''ll go get it for you.”
He pushed the wheelchair to the table, opened the thermos sk, and poured some chicken soup into a bowl. He held the bowl
with his bandaged left hand and pushed the wheelchair back to the bed with his other hand.” It’s still hot.”
Serenity received the bowl of soup and took a few sips but did not touch a single piece of chicken.
Gabriel knew she must not have much of an appetite yet, so he did not force her. It was not good to eat too much at night
anyway so he took the bowl of soup from her hands and ced it on the table. “It’s only one in the morning. Let’s sleep a little
longer.”
“Where do you sleep?” asked she.
Gabriel used his chin to point at the sofa. Although it was a VIP ward, the weather was cold at the end of autumn and there was
no extra nket. It would be freezing to sleep on the sofa at night.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
The bed in the VIP ward was bigger than those in the normal ward so Serenity moved toward the other end of the bed, making
room for him. “Let’s sleep together.”
“Is this invitation what | think it is?” Gabriel looked at her with a half-smile.
Serenity red at him. He could still find the time and energy to be cheeky. “Be serious.”
Gabriel hid the teasing smile in his eyes. “Go to sleep. I''ll watch over you tonight.”
The sofa was short and small, and his leg was still injured. Anyone could tell that Gabriel would not befortable on the sofa.
She bit her lip while looking away. Unbeknownst to her, her action revealed her slightly red ears instead as she softly said, “I’m
used to you hugging me to sleep.”
Gabriel noticed her awkwardness and chuckled softly. He stood up by supporting himself with both his hands on the armrest of
the wheelchair while Serenity helped him onto the hospital bed. He took off his coat,y down, wrapped his arms around her
waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Serenity could feel his body temperature through the thinyers of their clothes, which made her feel extremely at ease. “Why
did the signal tower copse just like that? The workers must have cut corners when building it.”
Gabriel caressed her head and hummed a response. His eyelids were a little heavy.
Serenity shifted in his embrace. “Your body temperature feels a little high.”
Gabriel hugged her tightly so that she couldn’t move. “It’s veryte. Go to sleep.”
“Are you sleepy?” asked she after hearing how soft his voice was.
He hummed a sleepy response, sounding tired and weak. She quietlyy in his arms and did not disturb his rest. Then,
sleepiness arrived for Serenity as well and she fell asleep.
When the sun was about to rise, Serenity was woken up by the heat of the body next to hers.
Gabriel had been hugging her the entire night so it shouldn’t be too surprising that she was feeling a little warm. But when she
touched her forehead, her body temperature was pretty normal.
Then, she looked at Gabriel and saw that his cold face was unusually red.
She touched his forehead and realized that he was burning up. She called his name in panic, but he did not respond.
So Serenity got out of bed and was about to look for the doctor. But in her panic, she knocked over the wheelchair by the bed.
Sam rushed in.. “What''s wrong?”
