Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 275

As Hamilton carried Natalia out of the bathroom, she was visibly exhausted, barely holding onto consciousness.

Resting against his chest, her eyelids fluttered, fighting sleep, yet her concern for Hamilton was evident.

Hamilton was off today, unmistakably so. Although his moods were often unpredictable, since making amends, such emotional distance had become rare.

"What's on your mind? Did something happen?" Natalia asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Hamilton glanced down at her, contemplating his next words, "Was it that obvious?"

Natalia simply gazed at him, her lips pressed together in concern.

Gently laying her on the bed, Hamilton fetched the hair dryer. Without answering her question directly, he focused on drying her hair and adjusting the room's temperature to ensure her comfort before settling down next to her, eyes closed.

"I just missed you," he finally confessed. "Had a nightmare on my way here about you running off with some random guy."

Natalia couldn't help but roll her eyes at his admission.

Hamilton pulled her closer in response.

"Let's rest for a bit. I'll order in some food. We can eat later."

Sensing his reluctance to discuss further, Natalia sighed softly.
