My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 549

Shawn constantly teased me over the fact that I liked his appearance, and I never denied the fact. As handsome as he was, it was only natural for me to appreciate his good looks. Nevertheless, he was my husband. I would love him even if he lost his good looks and became disfigured.

"There's no helping it. Your inherent beauty and good looks are hard to give up, Sunny."

He placed me down on the bed and tried not to jostle my wounds. Meanwhile, I lay on the bed and looked up at him. He pressed his hands against my temples and massaged softly. I practically purred in comfort as I heard him speak. "I was born with good looks, but my looks won't last forever. I will eventually grow old."

I closed my eyes comfortably. "I'll grow old too."

He made a non-committal grunt. "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are normal occurrences in the world. The time we can spend together will only last for several decades."

I followed up his statement with a question. "You have to endure my presence for several decades, but you think that time is too short?"

His breath suddenly blew against my face. I opened my eyes and saw that his handsome face was less than a centimeter away from the tip of my nose. He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against mine and murmured in a gentle voice, "How can that be enough? This is just the beginning. I wish for nothing but your health."

His wish was that I could accompany him for decades in good health. Unfortunately, my health was something I had always lacked.

I agreed with him. "I want to be healthy too."

"You will. During the two days that you'll be recuperating in the hospital—"

I interrupted him and asked, "Where are you going?"

He raised his head and explained in a slightly lower voice, "Ray, I need to deal with some things that are related to the company."

Shawn was a busy man. In fact, he was always very busy. That was a fact that I had always known. Besides, he had been spending so much time with me recently. I knew I should not hold him back, so I simply asked, "Will the job be dangerous?"

He looked hesitant. That was an answer that spoke for itself.

I suddenly became depressed, but I knew I had no excuse to stop him. After all, his work had always been the same before I married him. There would never be any stability in his world. I raised my hand and gripped his hand tightly to indicate my support. "Sunny, just come home safely. The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay. I will leave once you've fallen asleep."

It was not even evening yet, so it would be very late by the time I fell asleep. However, I did not wish for him to stay up late. He had been working late into the night just yesterday, so I made a suggestion. "Why don't you go ahead? Don't procrastinate so that you can come home early. Besides, you did not get enough rest last night."

"It's okay. I want to accompany you."

"It's okay. I want to accompany you."

He insisted on staying behind. Seeing that, I made another suggestion. "In that case, you should sleep by my side for some time. I don't want you to collapse from fatigue."

He relaxed and concurred. "Yeah. I'm very sleepy."

He looked utterly fatigued. Fatigue was generally caused by a lack of rest over a long period. He probably had not enjoyed a proper rest for some time now. Just the thought made me feel bad for him.

Truth was, his life had never been easy. Life was not easy for all, but he suffered more than others. That was because he carried an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders. Everything would easily fall apart if he relaxed for even a single day. Therefore, he did not dare to relax his guard in the slightest.

I moved over to the left. Shawn took off his suit jacket, leaving only a white shirt. Taking out his phone, he lowered his head slightly and remained standing to fiddle with his phone for about half a minute.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm asking Mr. Briar to deliver a clean set of clothes later."

Waylen's existence was incredibly important to Shawn. Whether it was regarding work or private matters, he constantly had to take care of everything for Shawn. Nevertheless, he used to work for Ezekiel in the past.

It was something Shawn had always known, so he never let his guard down around Waylen. Be that as it may, his sense of wariness was always ignored. He was quite confident in the people he employed. It was fortunate that Waylen had yet to make any mistakes so far. Otherwise, Shawn would not have kept him for so long.

Presently, Shawn placed his phone down and lay down by my side. Instead of putting his arms around me as usual, he put his arm under my neck to support me and murmured, "I'm going to sleep for a while."
