Chapter 255 255: Maybe I am not worthy

Everything seemed so serene until a soothing yet aching voice woke her from the slumber.

Ella had been unconscious for a while, with Stefan repeatedly calling out her name. She wanted to sleep, but the desperation in that appeal roused her, and she gradually opened her eyes.

Ella felt something cold rest on her forehead, and her body hurt.

What was wrong with her? she pondered as a hot liquid dropped on her face and she stared at the man who was silently crying while helping her.

"Stefan," she said, her voice thick and hoarse, her throat hurting at the small lift in her tone.

Ella's tongue felt dry owing to a lack of water, yet the name came smoothly from her mouth as she attempted to reach for him.

"Do not talk. The doctor has asked you to relax." Stefan sounded clogged, as if he'd been crying for quite some time. But his hands never ceased washing the fire from her skin.

It was then she noticed she had a fever.

Ella remembered crying and pouring her heart out to Stefan, telling him about her entire existence. The sorrow in her heart intensified tenfold as she spoke about every instance. Everything in her body and mind felt fatigued, and she couldn't remember what happened when she lost her vision.

"How long have I been out?" she said, attempting to sit but Stefan refused.

"I told you couldn't. You are burning," his voice grew louder, and she stopped acting recklessly and resumed lying down.

Ella attempted to get Stefan's attention by repeatedly looking at him. She could see that the top of his nose was red and his eyes were puffy from tears.

What was she thinking when she asked him if he would abandon her, while he had been looking after her as if his life depended on her?

After cleaning her, Stefan strolled into the bathroom and returned after washing his hands.

"Let me check if your fever has dropped even by a number," he mumbled, immediately pulling out a thermometer from the first-aid bag and asking her to open her mouth.

Ella's passing out was an unexpected event that made Stefan extremely concerned about what had happened to her. Her lack of response panicked him, so he called the doctor, who subsequently confirmed it was the fever that caused her to faint.

The doctor advised her to have complete bed rest and prescribed some medication.

Stefan had never seen Ella so vulnerable and feeble, and it shattered his heart. He was upset because she allowed her pain break her down to the point that her brain couldn't handle it, and he wondered how deeply she had been damaged by it.
