Chapter 238
Noelle nodded. Aunt Ulan was right! Her father and mother were usually very affectionate and sweet. Sometimes, she secretly saw the way her father looked at her mother. She was always focused and couldn’t move her eyes away.
In Jolene’s Godmother’s words, it was as if she hadn’t eaten meat for eight hundred years. She actually didn’t quite understand what it meant.
“Go to sleep. I’m going to tell a story.” Jolene picked up the book at the head of the bed and said.
Nelissa woke up slowly from the bed in pain. She looked at the white ceiling for a few seconds before she gathered her attention. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the man lying by the bed. He was too tall, and the chair he was sitting on was very small. He could not close his eyes to rest, but his tall body was leaning against the bed, which made him look too tall.
Nelissa moved her fingers and touched Edward’s lower jaw gently. Just a moment later, he woke up immediately and raised his head. His handsome face was haggard and decadent, and there was blood in his deep eyes, and there was a faint stubble on his chin.
“You’re awake. Does it hurt?” The man’s hoarse and low voice was extremely gentle.
All of a sudden, Nelissa’s nose twitched. Her heart ached and her body ached. The uncomfortable feelings that intertwined with each other seemed to be overflowing in her heart. She wanted to ask Edward why he had made her so embarrassed. It had only been a day. She was fine.
“Is it still painful?” Edward looked dejected, showing a rare sense of frustration.
He was a very proud and confident man. It seemed that everything could be controlled by him since he was a child. But this time, he couldn’t do anything. He could only watch Nelissa suffer pain and frustration. He was so frustrated that he didn’t know what to do.
Nelissa shook her head gently and gently touched the back of Edward’er’s hand with her delicate fingertips. She said without thinking, “I may not dare to drive on the road for the rest of my life.” There was already a shadow in her heart, and the feeling of being hit by a car was really painful.
Edward nodded and said in a low voice, “No, I won’t. I’ll be your driver in the future. I’ll send you wherever you want to go.” Holding Nelissa’s fingertips, Edward put them in front of his forehead and gently pressed them against his forehead. “I won’t let you leave me again.”
“Okay.” Nelissa smiled and moved her muscles. She groaned in pain and her eyes turned red.
Edward frowned. He was very impatient and his chest rose and fell violently.
Nelissa felt uncomfortable lying on the bed. She had been lying there for a whole day. Her body was soft, sore, and painful. The mattress was still very hard. The more she lay, the more painful she felt. She frowned and looked at Edward’er. “Can I get up?”
After thinking about it, Edward gave Nelissa a new bed. He searched for a while before finding the lifting bed. Although Mikaelson had lived in the hospital, he had never been taken care of in person. Generally speaking, this kind of thing was done by others. Fortunately, although he could not take care of people, he still had basic common sense.
Nelissa leaned against the pillow, still in pain. She frowned slightly, and her breathing was hard to control. She felt that she could move a little bit. She raised her small hand, which was covered with bandages, and touched her forehead, which was wrapped with gauze. Her eyes were red.
Edward looked at her closely and asked, “Are you thirsty?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Nelissa licked her dry lips and nodded. “Okay.”
Edward poured her a cup of warm water and carefully fed her the cup with his hand. He noticed that she was drinking very slowly, so he opened his little mouth and took small sips. He knew that she was not feeling well and was in pain.
After drinking a small cup of water, not only was her lips moist, but her eyes were also a little moist.
She opened her arms slightly to Edward and looked at him weakly. “Hug.”
Edward’s heart suddenly softened. He stepped forward and gently held Nelissa in his arms. His hands wrapped around her thin shoulders. He did not dare to exert any strength, fearing that he would hurt her. However, he could still feel her body trembling. Soon, his clothes were wet.
Nelissa cried quietly and obediently. She never cried and made a scene. She was so small and strong. Edward felt more and more distressed and coaxed Nelissa to stop crying. He knew that she was afraid of pain and could not bear it at all, let alone such pain.
He stroked Nelissa’s long hair and deeply apologized. “I’m sorry.”
Nelissa looked up from his arms and asked him with tears in her eyes, “Why did you say sorry?”
Edward said in a low voice, “I didn’t protect you well.” It was hard to say that he blamed himself. From the moment he married Nelissa, Edward had decided to take responsibility for her. He was not very gentle and considerate, but he could still protect his woman. “When I knew that you had a car accident, I thought I would lose you. I was so scared for the first time.”
He lowered his head and touched Nelissa’s head gently with his slender big hand. The breath in front of his lips brushed against her forehead. “I’m not sure. What will I do if I lose you?”
Nelissa was slightly stunned and found that a corner of her heart was more painful than the wound on her body. A drop of tears fell down her cheeks. She was also afraid at that time. “I don’t know why I became like this. Should I say sorry to you? I’m so old that I can’t protect myself, but make you worry.”
Edward immediately asked Nelissa, “Do you still remember what happened at that time? Why did you rush out of the road?” According to the confession of the traffic police, there was an absolute number of people who judged that Nelissa committed suicide, but this was the least likely thing to happen.
Thinking about it carefully, Nelissa couldn’t help trembling. She felt a chill in her heart. “I think someone pushed me hard behind my back, so I rushed out.”
Edward’s eyes turned cold and he immediately asked, “Did you see who pushed you?”
Nelissa shook her head and pressed her fingertips against her forehead. It hurt very much. “I didn’t see it. It was too messy. At that time, those cars were passing by me and very close to me. I thought I would lose my arms and legs this time.”
Edward frowned and interrupted her unhappily, “Don’t say that!” Seeing Nelissa in his arms, he felt that his tone was too harsh. He kissed her wet eyes and insisted, “Don’t say that again in the future.”
Nelissa nodded. “Yes.”
She asked Edward to sit down on the edge of the bed and leaned slightly into his strong arms. She felt more comfortable than leaning against the bed. She looked down at her ten fingers stuck to the tape and was not sure about her injury. There was a needle on the back of her hand, which had been removed. On the other hand, the skin on her elbow was very painful. It was wrapped in thick gauze and could not be seen clearly.
Edward had been paying attention to Nelissa’s every move. Seeing her groping on her body with her small hands, he thought to himself, “Will you be hungry?”
Nelissa shook her head, not feeling very hungry.
Edward lowered his head and said to her, “The doctor just gave you a bottle of nutritious water. Except for pain, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
