Eileen nodded and held his hand.
"Go to sleep now. I’m right here and I won't go anywhere."
Luke felt reassured and slowly closed his eyes.
Eileen maintained the same posture.
Just then, her phone rang.
She picked up the phone and found that it was Ruben calling...
Luke just closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was not good for her to answer the phone now, for he would be woken up.
Thinking of this, Eileen directly hung up.
The ward quieted down, and only their low soft breathing could be heard.
It was because of the silence that Eileen finally calmed herself down and sank into a reverie.
She began to think about her experiences over the years and various people she had met.
She also thought of Kingsley's words.
He said it was really lucky to have someone willing to give priority to your needs and even sacrifice his own life to save yours without hesitation...
No one had ever risked his own life for her, except Luke...
Eileen's mind became a mess, and she had never felt so confused like this.
She didn't want to go back to her old life.
However, there were always some unexpected situations...
Luke slept for a long time.
He didn't wake up until the late evening when the moon rose from the night sky.
Holding his hand, Eileen also fell asleep, and her breathing was soft and steady. However, she was still at his bedside.
He moved gently to sit up.
The next second, a sharp pain spread all over his body. With a grunt, he fell back into bed and coughed loudly.
Eileen was awakened.
She opened her eyes and quickly turned to look at him. "Do you need something? I can get it for you.”
She said, "Brad, I bought some snacks for you. Come and sit on the sofa."
Brad was very obedient. He walked over and sat on the sofa, while Eileen sat by the bed to feed Luke soup.
The atmosphere in the ward was nice.
Luke fully realized what it was like to be taken care of by his beloved woman. He was beside himself with happiness, for Eileen treated him so well!
If he had known that she would treat him like this, he could bear it even if the gangster caused him more serious harm!
Eileen talked to him and fed him in such a gentle manner.
Although she occasionally lost her temper, there was no longer a sense of alienation between the two of them.
Brad didn’t go to school these days.
They just stayed in the ward together.
When Luke and Brad were too noisy sometimes, Eileen would get angry with
them.
