Chapter 63 The Wrong Time to Wake Up

The moment something clicked in her mind, Lily’s hand jolted. The towel slipped from her fingers and dropped to the floor.

He was in a coma. A man in a coma shouldn’t… react like that.

Seeing what she saw, her face went red with embarrassment.

Still, she couldn’t exactly stop halfway and walk out. That would be even worse, right?

She stood frozen for a long moment, then finally bent down, picked up the towel, rinsed it out, and decided to finish the job.

That’s when a voice–a low, angry voice–broke through the silence.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

The sound of it hit her like a slap. Her heart practically stopped.

She was alone in the room–with a man in a coma. Who said that?

She scanned the room, suddenly tense, wondering if someone had broken in. Then she turned–and locked eyes with him. Dark, steady, and intense.

James was awake.

Lily gasped and dropped the towel again.

-he He was awake? How was that even possible? They said he might never come back. And now–seriously, now- wakes up? While I’m cleaning him? While my hand was literally right there? Of all the moments… why this one?

She stood there, stiff and stunned, not even sure what to do with her hands. Before she could speak, his voice came again–cold, furious, every word ground between his teeth.

“Who gave you permission to touch me? Get out.”

James looked livid.

His eyes burned with rage, sharp and deadly. The fury in them was impossible to miss.

He couldn’t believe it. After all this time–after being completely unconscious for years–he opened his eyes to this–a woman touching him without consent, acting like she had the right.

His mind ran wild. How long had this been going on? How far had she gone while I was unconscious? His face- usually calm and unreadable–twitched with anger he could barely contain.

He had someone he cared about. Leila.

They hadn’t met in person yet, but that didn’t matter. She was the one. The only one he ever wanted near him. The only one he trusted. No one else. Especially not a stranger.
