Chapter 93

Chapter 93 In truth , the next two days were anything but peaceful for Giselle . She had no interest in doing anything , found no joy in food , and lay awake at night . The emotional toll was exhausting . She had thought she would bounce back like always , living her carefree life without being affected by anyone or anything . She didn't expect that the time would pass by so unbearably slowly by being apart from him for just two days . It felt like she was enduring some kind of torment .

She couldn't take it ammore by the third day at noon and went to the hospital once again . She pushed the door open quietly and stepped into the ward . He was lying motionlessly on the hospital bed and was probably taking his attemoon nap . Her gaze landed on his face . She noticed that he didn't look well . He had grown noticeably thinner in just three days . His wounds showed no signs of healing . He Jooked completely worn down with his unshaven stubble .

It had somehow stirred a sense of tenderness in her when she saw his depressed expression . She could no longer treat him the way she used to , like a walking ATM or some tool at her disposal to vent her emotions on him whenever she pleased . She sat down and instinctively held his hand . His hand was cold . She couldn't help but hold him tighter , trying to warm him with the heat of her palm . Her movement stimed Donovan awake at that moment . He opened his eyes .

His gaze froze momentarily when he saw the sudden appearance of her face . However , he pulled his hand away with disdain after a few seconds of eye contact . She had long grown used to his unpredictable moods . However , the sudden aloodness in his eyes and his coldness devoid of any emotion left her feeling slightly confused . She held back her impatience and let out a soft laugh . " What's wrong ? Are you upset that I haven't been able to take care of you for the past few days ?

" He said nothing and didn't even glance at her again . He simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep . The evidence Anne had shown him had been haunting his mind for days . It was impossible not to be affected . " Alright , I get it . I know that you're upset . " Giselle lowered her pride and did her best to comfort him . " Someone insisted on taking over your care that day . Besides , everyone was ganging up on me . How could I possibly stay ? " His face remained cold and grim .

He took his hand once again and pressed it to her cheek before saying softly , " How about this ? I won't leave anymore . From now on , I'll stay here . I don't trust anyone else to look after you . " She leaned down and kissed him when she saw that he was still in a gloomy mood , hoping that it would melt his defenses and reignite something between them . However , he turned his head away and rejected her kiss .

Just as she didn't know what else to do , he finally lifted his gaze and looked at her . His tone was calm and distant as he made a request . " I want you to get a full medical checkup now . " " What ? " She thought he was referring to her injuries from that day when she lunged at that madman . She said casually , " I already did . I'm fine . The kick was just surface injury , and the cut on my palm is already healing . "
