CHAPTER 56 Conflict

  Lucie reached out and touched her forehead, realizing that it was covered in cold sweat.

  Unknowingly, her resistance towards that man had extended into her dreams.

  The bedroom door suddenly swung open, and a figure walked briskly towards her against the light.

  She couldn't see his expression, but she could feel his concern and worry.

  A certain emotion seemed to be stuck in her chest, making her feel uncomfortable and unsettled.

  "What's wrong?" The man quickly reached the bedside, his large hand naturally resting on her forehead, and then he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

  Perhaps considering that her eyes would be sensitive to bright light upon waking up, he didn't turn on the lights.

  Lucie clenched the corner of the blanket, forcing herself not to shy away from his touch.

  "Why aren't you saying anything?"

  Her small face was enveloped in his shadow, and her cold reaction struck him directly in the heart.
