Under his comforting presence, Eleanor cried herself to sleep. In her dreams, Bernard, covered in blood, brushed past her. She reached out for him desperately but could never catch a hold of his clothes.
She woke up from this nightmare, the moment she opened her eyes and didn't see Bernard. Had he left so soon? Without even saying goodbye or a hug, had he just left?
"Bernard!"
Wasn't he supposed to leave after ten days? How did he disappear so quickly?
Frantically, Eleanor threw off the covers and jumped out of bed. Before she could steady herself, a graceful man walked in from outside, quickly came to her side, caught her by the foot, and helped her back into bed.
"The floor is cold."
Hearing his voice and seeing him there, Eleanor's heart finally settled down. But when she saw the honey lemon tea in his hands, her emotions cooled.
Eleanor instinctively looked at her pants, they had been changed...
Only then did she realize her period had come, her face instantly flushed, and she asked, "Did you... change them for me?"
But Bernard was quite calm and nodded, "You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't want to wake you."
Despite her embarrassment, Eleanor was surprised that the clean freak Bernard would do such a thing, "Next time, you can just wake me up."
But Bernard didn't care, "You're my wife, it's only natural."
He casually picked up the honey lemon tea and brought it to her lips, "Drink this, then I'll carry you down."
Every time Eleanor was on her period, he would have Bryson prepare lots of nutritious food, no matter how busy, he would stay by her side, watching her eat.
Eleanor was thus nurtured to be healthy, her face plump enough to pinch, and her skin was tender, showing no signs of aging.
Bernard suddenly rolled over on top of Eleanor, replacing all words with a kiss, deeply kissing Eleanor's red lips, straight to her heart.
He hugged her with all his strength, he used all his power to fiercely possess her body. This extreme act, Eleanor may never encounter a second time in her life.
Eleanor loved Bernard's tenderness, as well as his passion in bed. Everything about him felt like a spell cast on Eleanor's heart, making it hard for her to let go.
Bernard held her tightly but covered her eyes with his hand, not letting her see his expression. If she could see through his fingers, she would find that the man who was holding her, his eyes were already red.
At the climax, Eleanor heard his answer in her ear, "Not only do you love me, but I also love you."
That night, they didn't sleep at all. Eleanor curled up in his arms, while he held her tightly with his strong arms.
The sound of rain outside fell on the window, leaving traces behind. Bernard stared at the rain, silently feeling the emotion of leaving her.
