However...
When I woke up, the sky was dark.
The moment I opened my eyes, a man‘s sleeping face caught my attention. There were dark eye circles around his eyes, and light stubble appeared around his chin.
He was here the whole time?
I looked around to see four white walls. This was the hospital ward.
Out of instinct, I stretched out my hand and touched my tummy uneasily. Fortunately, there was still a slight bulge on my stomach, and it no longer hurt.
“You‘re awake?” The man beside me gruffly commented.
I was momentarily stunned. When I turned to look in his direction, I realized that Ashton was awake. He got out of the chair and walked to my side to pour a glass of water.
He placed the cup on my bedside table. “Do you want some water?”
