Chapter 40~ Done asking

“Why did you do that? How could you protect me without caring about yourself?” Tessa sobbed as

she held Aaron’s hand.

Her heart ached when she saw the bruises on his arms. His legs were kept higher than the level

of his heart to help reduce swelling.

He also took a blow to the head during the accident so a white bandage was wrapped around his

head.

After being in a coma for three days, he was finally awake but he looked like he was still in bad

shape. The only thing he was able to move was his head and his arms.

Tessa’s tears couldn’t stop streaming down her face. Guilt filled her completely seeing Aaron get hurt in her place.

Aaron raised his injured arm and wiped her tears away.

“Hey… Please, don’t cry. I don’t want you to cry because of me, ever,” Aaron said in a hoarse voice.

Every cell in his body felt like it was set on fire. There was no part of him that didn’t hurt. His throat burned from the dust he had consumed during the rescue process. However, he was trying his best to look strong so that Tessa would stop feeling bad.

Tessa’s shoulders shook when she heard his low voice. He didn’t sound like himself and she

blamed herself more.

“I’m sorry. I should have been the one who got hurt-”

“Don’t talk like that. I’m happy I got hurt on your behalf. As long as I’m alive, I will never let anything happen to you,” Aaron declared and then added, “I hope the kids haven’t been here to see me. I don’t want them to see me like this.”

Tessa shook her head, replying, “No. They are with my mother. I told them they will visit you when you feel better. They’ve been worried about you.”

The kids had stayed up late on the night of the incident, waiting for their father to put them to sleep like he always did. It was only after Tessa explained that he wasn’t feeling well that they

agreed to sleep.

Aaron nodded at Tessa’s words. He was about to respond when he coughed violently. Tessa realised that he needed water. She stood up and poured him glass at the bedside table.

She then held the back of his head, propping him up and helped him drink.

Aaron took a few mouthfuls When he swallowed the water, he glanced up at Tessa and remarked, “I love the way you’re holding my head. As if you’re about to kiss me.”

Tessa blushed as she removed her hand She said, “Sometimes I wonder what goes through your head ”

Aaron raised an eyebrow and replied, “You’re the only one on my mind ”

Tessa rolled her eyes but her cheeks flamed up A little while later, Aaron began to feel uncomfortable. His body was a little itchy He raised his arms to rub some spots on his skin and
