Nathael gazed into her deep eyes, his own eyes shaded.

Maggie’s cheeks warmed for no reason. She huddled under the covers and covered her nose and mouth, leaving only her closed eyes visible.
Nathael chuckled softly. “Once the IV is finished, you should get some rest.”
There wasn’t much IV solution left, and it was done in about twenty minutes or so.
Maggie was still awake. She felt much better because the medication was starting to work, but she wasn’t feeling very sleepy.
She opened her eyes and saw Nathael beckon the nurse to remove the needle, then he changed his clothes and lied down next to her.
Even before he touched her, she could feel the warmth in the air.
Although the hospital bed in the private hospital was bigger, it wasn’t designed for two people like the one in Maplewood Avenue.
The bed felt a bit cramped. Maggie turned away from him, and soon, Nathael pulled her close.
Warmth seeped through their clothes, and Maggie could hear his heartbeat clearly.
Maggie slowly opened her eyes, unable to resist the thought of how nice it would be if they could stay like this forever.
Nathael’s large hand encircled her slim waist, pushing her curled–up body against his chest. Her tousled hair brushed against his shoulders and neck, causing a slight tickle.

Outside the window, the full moon hung high, and the stars dotted the dark sky.
The hospital room was dark, with only the moonlight and the faint glow from the corridor across the building.
“What’s on your mind?” Nathael asked softly, knowing she was still awake.
Maggie’s eyelashes quivered, and she murmured, “You are.”
Nathael’s gentle kisses landed on her neck and ear, his voice deep. The moment you went missing. I was so scared I’d never see you again.”
The fear flooded over him like a wave, unstoppable and chilling, causing him to shiver.
Nathael couldn’t find the words to describe the feeling; it was the most scared he had ever been.
Maggie’s nose tingled, unsure of what to say as she simply listened quietly.
“These days have felt like a dream, an unattainable dream for me. Nathael gulped, his eyes downcast as he spoke slowly.
Perhaps because he’d never experienced it before, these days made him doubt the reality of happiness.

At midnight, he’d wake up sweating, afraid she wouldn’t be there.
Maggie’s eyes grew moist. She bit her lip, her hand beside her face curling up involuntarily.
For him, it was a nightmare, and for her, it wasn’t any different.
Despite the longing, Maggie felt it was enough.
At least the happiness they’d shared was real; that was sufficient.
They wouldn’t leave behind regrets as in their past lives, only filled with reluctance and remorse.
She gently placed her hand on top of his. “You deserve all the good things in the world.”
Nathael’s eyes were deep, his black lashes like wings. “But I don’t want the good things in the world; I only want you.”
A tear slid down Maggie’s cheek and landed on the hospital pillow, forming a small, glistening droplet.
“Nana, let’s get married, Nathael whispered softly.
Maggie paused for a moment, taken aback by his proposal.
Opening her mouth, Maggie found herself unable to form words.
She didn’t know how to turn down his sincere proposal or how to gently decline.
Looking down, Maggie offered a casual smile. “Do you think you could just ask me to marry you like this? How insincere, Mr. Harris.”
After considering it, Nathael agreed.
He wanted to provide her with the best in the world.
“We’ll have the wedding wherever you prefer,” Nathael said warmly, imagining how stunning she would look in a wedding dress.
Taking a moment, Maggie whispered, “Let me reconnect with the Adams first. If the Camerons discover I’m marrying you, they’ll surely ask you to do things for them using our relation.”
Maggie knew Ronald was already suspicious of her, and she should return to her parents‘ side soon.
But she couldn’t do it now.
There were still a few years left, and Phillip and Fiona wouldn’t be able to handle the blow of losing her and getting her back. If the Cameróns made a comeback then, they might not have the strength to resist.
“Ronald is cunning, you shouldn’t stay with the Camerons, Nathael said seriously with a frown, worried as he thought of her constant involvement with them.
Considering for a moment, Maggie softly said, “Once Luster Corporation is completely taken down and Sierra is imprisoned, I’ll find a way to sever ties with the Camerons.”
“I’ll handle matters regarding the Camerons; I won’t be at ease if you stay there. Nathael disagreed with

He hadn’t known before, but now that he did, he couldn’t accept it.
“Okay, I’ll reconsider. I don’t often go back anyway. I’ll have to maintain superficial contact unless I really
cut ties with them.”
Maggie changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on it.
Lightly touching his bandaged pinky finger, Maggie felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Her throat tightened, and she asked softly. “Does it hurt?”
Sining up, Nathael turned her around and gently kissed her lips, restraining himself.
Maggie closed her eyes as she allowed herself to be enveloped by his irresistable cool cedar scent.
Nathael refrained from deepening the kiss; instead, he propped himself up to look at her.
Maggie softly touched his thin lips with her finger. His lips were thin and had a faint pink hue, giving off a distant and reserved vibe.
However, he had deep, affectionate eyes with sleek brows. Whenever he looked at her seriously, it stirred up emotions, making her eyes involuntarily well up with feelings.
“Can you promise me something?” Maggie traced his features, trying to etch his current look into her
memory.
He had loved her so deeply, and his serious gaze had once belonged to her entirely.
This should be enough: there shouldn’t be any lingering regrets, right?
“Promise what?” Nathael asked gently, patiently waiting for her request.
Maggie felt her throat tighten as she whispered, “Promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt for anyone, not even for me.”
Nathael paused for a moment, clearly surprised by her request.
He looked at her and gulped while remaining silent for a while.
Maggie delicately toyed with the buttons on his collar, her eyes filled with anticipation. “If you’re hurt, I’ll feel sad, and I’ll cry.”
At that moment, Nathael felt warmth flooding his chest, his heart soaked in a bittersweet sensation.
Maggie persisted, her voice soft. “Promise me, okay?”
Nathael lowered his gaze, gently kissed her eyes, and softly replied, “Okay.”
A tear welled up in Maggie’s eye, and she smiled contentedly.
