Chapter 22 It’s Alright, Let’s Sleep

“What are you thinking about?”

Eric’s cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

Kate suddenly came back to her senses and found that Eric had already walked out of the bathroom. His wound had not healed yet, so he just wiped his body briefly. Apart from the scar on his left chest, Eric’s body was also covered with several old wounds, which looked shocking.

Kate stared blankly at the old wounds on his body.

Even though many years had passed, it was still evident from these scars how severe Eric’s injuries were at that time.

Eric’s deep gaze fixed on her, watching the vulnerability and tenderness on her face, and said in a faint voice, “No. Let’s sleep.”
