Chapter 487

In an instant, it was as if the sunlight had shone into the deep mountain forest, dispersing the clouds and mist.

Reynaldo leaned back against the headboard in silence. He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

I was stunned for a moment, realizing that my confession had received no response at all, feeling a bit embarrassed inside. He was afraid that he hadn’t heard clearly.

I earnestly told him again, “Reynaldo, I like you. This feeling of liking, I don’t even know when it started. Anyway, every time I saw you with Kimberly, I felt very sad. I think I fell in love with you right after we got divorced.”

Reynaldo still didn’t speak. He leaned quietly against the head of the bed, his head hanging low, not knowing what he was thinking.

I furrowed my brows and leaned in to his ear, asking, “I like you, did you hear me at all?”

“Um, heard it.” He responded to me with just one sentence, his voice surprisingly calm.

Ugh! Could it be that I made a mistake? This feeling, in fact, was just my wishful thinking. After all, if he liked me, then my confession like this, he wouldn’t have felt any excitement at all. Ah, can’t let my mind wander. Once my mind starts wandering, all sorts of misunderstandings arise again.

I opened my mouth, wanting to explain everything to him clearly, so he wouldn’t start guessing randomly again. However, as soon as I opened my mouth, he calmly said, “There is ointment and gauze in the drawer, please help me change it first.”

When he said that, I suddenly remembered the wound he had opened, so I hurried to the drawer to get ointment and gauze. Reynaldo had taken off his hospital gown, revealing his muscular upper body. At this moment, he was covered in bandages, all stained with blood, a horrifying sight to behold. My heart ached, and tears couldn’t help but fall.

He glanced at me and said, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”

“It would be strange if it didn’t hurt. If it were me, I would be in so much pain.” I choked up and reached out tremblingly to remove his bandages. When my fingers touched the gauze, I recoiled in fear. I was afraid that I wouldn’t do it well, I was afraid of hurting him. I choked out, “I’ll go call the doctor.”

Reynaldo shook his head, his tone stubborn, “I just want you to help me change it, it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”

I still didn’t dare to move. He looked at me and laughed, “What, do you really want to see me die in a pool of blood?”

“Reynaldo!” I glared at him, then gritted my teeth and started to remove the bandages from his body. This man, even though he was injured like this, still didn’t forget to make jokes. I dared not exert too much force, handling the gauze with great care.

Reynaldo stared at me without blinking. Because we were so close, I could feel his breath. Being stared at by him like that, I felt particularly awkward, and even my movements seemed clumsy. I looked up at him and met his dark eyes, my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

I hurriedly closed my eyes and muttered, “Can you please stop looking at me like this? It makes me so nervous.”

Reynaldo pulled his lips and chuckled, saying, “When you confessed to me just now, why didn’t I see you nervous?”

I blushed and felt strange in my heart. Yeah, when I confessed to him just now, I didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
