Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 376

Valentin pushed the door to the ward and saw Ashley sitting on the bed, finally awake. At that moment, it felt like his heart had stopped.

Time seemed to freeze, and everything around them came to a standstill.

The sound of the wind, the birds outside the window, and even the dancing leaves were all frozen in mid-air.

All he could see were her clear, watery eyes.

After a brief silence, his heart began to race intensely, as if all the blood in his body was flowing backward. His grip on the door handle tightened, and his knuckles turned white with the effort.

Ashley leaned against the bed, blinking as she watched him enter.

Just a moment ago, she had an inexplicable and intense premonition that Valentin was coming.

After the door was pushed open, the person who entered was indeed

The entire room fell into a profound silence. Even Karen, Brian, and others involuntarily quieted down.

Valentin’s deep and profound gaze was fixed on Ashley, whom he had longed for, reluctant to share even a fraction of it with others.

Finally, he walked over, his steps carrying a rare sense of panic.

Although only a few seconds had passed, it felt like an eternity before he stood in front of Ashley.

Valentin’s eyes were deep and intense, seemingly calm on the surface but roiling underneath with overwhelming love and longing. He couldn’t restrain himself any longer and bent down to embrace her as if holding his entire world.

Just as Ashley was about to speak, she felt a slight trembling in the arm that held her and a warm, moist sensation near her neck.

Ashley’s heart tightened, flooded with a dense and poignant sorrow.

Just as she was about to hug him back tightly, offering him reassurance

and comfort, Valentin suddenly let her go.

Ashley was puzzled.

“Did I hurt you?” Valentin looked at her nervously, his voice trembling slightly.

“No,” Ashley replied.

She thought, I’m not a porcelain doll, and I haven’t hugged you back yet.”

Valentin, afraid of hurting her, was cautious in his movements as if even a slight touch might cause her pain. It was the first time in his life that he didn’t know where to place his hands.
