Chapter 403 Why Did You Not Return?

Yuliana looked around and realized that she was still in the hotel room. What just happened was just a dream.

However, her dream felt so real and vivid.

She even felt how warm the blood was when it hit her face.

She raised her hand and wiped her face at the thought of the blood in her dream and came away with only cold sweat on her hands.

After a while, Yuliana picked up her phone and checked the time.

It was four o’clock in the morning.

She had slept for only five or six hours.

“Why isn’t Wesley back yet?” she wondered.

Yuliana opened her WhatsApp. The last message was sent by Wesley, telling her not to wait up on him and to sleep first.

Her mind went blank for a while, and then she typed in three words: [How is he?]

After a few minutes, there was still no reply from Wesley.

Yuliana hesitated for a moment. Then she got up, put on her clothes, left her room, stopped in front of Room 406, and knocked on the door twice.

After a while, the door opened from the inside.

Wesley seemed to have just been woken up, for his eyes had that blurred look to them. “Why are you here?” he asked in a hoarse and low voice.

“Did I wake you up?” he said.

Yuliana saw his sunken and wrinkled eyelids, and she knew it was not only her who didn’t sleep well that night. She was sure that Wesley didn’t sleep well too. She thought it must have taken most of the night for Wesley to dress Christopher’s wound. Besides, Wesley must have slept on the chair since there was no way he would sleep on the same bed as Christopher.

“Why didn’t you come back to the room?” Yuliana’s heart ached for him. She raised her hand and touched the corner of his eyes, trying to smooth the wrinkles.

Wesley grabbed her hand and pressed it against his face before kissing it twice. “I did, but you were fast asleep, so I didn’t want to wake you. Christopher’s wound is a little inflamed. I took his temperature, and he had a low fever. I was worried his fever would worsen during the night, so I decided to keep an eye over him.”

Yuliana knew that Wesley did that to put her mind at ease. But apart from being moved, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.
