Chapter 22 It’s Alright, Let’s Sleep
“What are you thinking about?”
Eric’s cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
Kate suddenly came back to her senses and found that Eric had already walked out of the bathroom. His wound had not healed yet, so he just wiped his body briefly. Apart from the scar on his left chest, Eric’s body was also covered with several old wounds, which looked shocking.
Kate stared blankly at the old wounds on his body.
These… were all left when Eric was fighting in the underground boxing ring.
Even though many years had passed, it was still evident from these scars how severe Eric’s injuries were at that time.
Eric was able to reach the height he was at because he was ruthless enough towards others and himself. He was crazy enough and completely reckless.
A hint of tenderness flashed in Kate’s eyes. Almost instinctively, she walked to Eric’s side, raised her hand and gently touched the old wounds on his body, her voice trembling slightly, “Does it hurt?”
Eric’s deep gaze fixed on her, watching the vulnerability and tenderness on her face, and said in a faint voice, “No. Let’s sleep.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Eric walked straight past her, lifted the blanket and lay on the other side of the bed, deliberately keeping a distance from her.
Kate lay silently on the bed, closed her eyes, but couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Her nose was filled with the cold pine scent of Eric, with a hint of chilliness, yet it made her feel at
case.
Eric was lying beside her, breathing lightly and evenly.
“Eric…”
After a long time, Kate tentatively called out, but Eric remained motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
Kate pursed her lips, and by the faint light of the bedside lamp, she turned her head to steal a glance at Eric.
Eric lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, his face cold and calm, even when asleep, exuding a cold and distant aura.
Kate quietly shifted towards Eric, and then, as if by accident, she rolled into his arms.
Eric, who was not actually asleep, stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. His eyelashes

position in his arms and fell asleep slowly.
It was only after she fell asleep that Eric quietly opened his eyes, his gaze passing a hint of sharpness in the dark night, then slowly softening as he looked at Kate’s sleeping face with a smile.
He was a little at a loss facing this version of Kate. Kate’s affection, her favouritism, and her passion were like poison to him, yet he couldn’t help but be addicted and fascinated by them, willingly sinking into them.
Kate….
Eric’s face was unusually gentle. As if he was holding a priceless treasure, he gently embraced Kate, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Kate woke up from a daze, she found the space beside her empty.
Kate suddenly sat up from the bed, her face pale, not even bothering to put on her shoes as she ran out, frantically searching for Eric’s figure in the villa.
The suppressed and terrifying memories from her past rushed over her like a tide, especially the scene of Eric’s tragic death in front of her in the video.
“Eric…
Kate’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of tears, and there was no sign of Eric wherever she looked. The feelings of fear and panic continued to grow, even a hint of despair in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Eric’s voice sounded like music to her ears, and Kate turned around abruptly, looking at Eric walking out of the study with a calm expression. Without hesitation, she ran into Eric’s arms. Eric could sense Kate’s body trembling slightly, her eyes red with panic, fear, and unease. She clung to him tightly, as if he were a precious treasure that had been lost and found again.
