Chapter 75
Dominick was sleeping soundly.
When Stephanie woke up, it was already around six in the morning, and the faint light of dawn was already seeping through the hospital window. She thought, “For most people, this time is still early, but…
She looked over at Dominick, who was lying beside her, with a complex expression, and continued to ponder, “Dominick usually wakes up Carly, it’s rare for him to sleep so soundly. He seems exhausted. There was the company’s annual celebration yesterday, and then the Randall and Isaac case. Dominick must have had a rough night.
As Stephanie gazed at his face, which was so close to hers, a strange emotion welled up inside her.
Dominick was lying so close. She could hear his breathing steady, saw his chest rising and falling, and smelt that uniquely cool and detached
scent of his.
He was sleeping soundly with his right hand naturally wrapped around her waist. She couldn’t help but think that this cold and dangerous man was sleeping so unguardedly beside her.
It was as if, at that moment, Dominick belonged to her.
Stephanie’s cheeks suddenly turned a bit red, and she lowered her head, avoiding looking at him, and muttered under her breath, “What am 1 thinking?”
Afterward, she lowered the guardrail on one side of the hospital bed as she couldn’t help but complain inwardly, ‘I really don’t understand why Dominick wouldn’t go back to Wellington Villa to rest but insists on sharing a hospital bed with me.”
Stephanie knew she would never understand what Dominick was really thinking, as he harbored too many secrets, his mind weighed down with burdens too heavy to share.
She moved a little closer to the edge of the bed and gently removed his hand from around her waist.
Stephanie couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but it had become a habit for Dominick to hold her as they slept.
However, as Stephanie carefully lifted his right hand, she abruptly paused.
“He’s injured,” she murmured, looking somewhat surprised.
There was a deep wound in the palm of Dominick’s right hand as if it had been cut by wire, and it had now clotted into a scab. This was in stark contrast to his muscular and impeccable hands.
As Stephanie stared at the wound in his palm, she felt a bit uneasy.
She reached out with her other hand, almost as if compelled by some unseen force, and her fingertips couldn’t resist lightly touching the clotted blood on Dominick’s hand.
Stephanie wondered, ‘This must be painful…”
