Chapter 105 - SHE CALLED HIS NAME (2/2)

The side effect of the poison that Lise gave him was very strong… he didn't feel like he had healed even after days had passed.

Gael walked toward Lise's bed and dropped to his knees, as he stared into her sleeping face.

Nathen said that she was awake, it was only a few moments, but the fact that she had gained her consciousness made Gael feel relief rushing through his veins.

She would be fine from now on…

She would be fine… there was nothing to be worried about.

But then, Gael heard Lise crying so softly, her brows wrinkled and her lips trembled when he kissed her knuckles softly.

Gael rose to his feet and caressed her cheeks, as he wiped away her tears.

”You are safe now… you don't need to worry, I am here, no one will hurt you anymore.” Gael kissed her forehead and whispered sweet nothings into her ear desperately. ”Please, open your eyes. Forgive me Lise. Don't punish me this way.”

He would accept all the consequences only to see her smile again, he would go through a thousand agonies and let his soul be crushed to pieces, just to hear her voice.

But then, what Lise said next truly shattered his soul and pushed him to the depths of hell.

”Sol…” Lise called his name in her sleep.

=====================

Lise opened her eyes slowly, as she heard a beeping sound from the machine near her. It showed her heartbeat, which indicated she was alive…

What a pity to still be alive.

Lise breathed deeply, as she could smell the scent of an orchid flower. It smelled refreshing and gave her strength to open her eyes clearly and look at her surroundings. She was still in the same room as before…

Nothing had changed, except the presence of Gael there…

Lise gasped, her jaw clenched tightly, as she saw his face again. He was the last person that she wanted to see right now…

Lise was too caught up with her own emotions until she failed to notice how pale Gael's complexion was right now or the fact that he was sweating really hard, as his clothes stuck to his skin.

He didn't look like a monster, but a mere someone that was too exhausted when he had to face the whole world alone…
