Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 194

“Sit down. Let me put some ointment on those bruises.”

Damien got the first-aid kit and gently guided Grace to sit on the edge of the bed.

He dabbed a cotton swab with ointment and gently applied it to her bruises.

With every application, Damien's hand trembled.

It must hurt so much.

His Grace, who was so afraid of pain.

She used to cry for ages over a small cut on her finger.

But now, with such terrible injuries, she hadn't made a sound.

Damien's eyes grew redder, and the bridge of his nose began to sting.

A tear suddenly fell onto the back of Grace's hand.

Grace froze.

“I'm sorry…”

Damien's voice was choked with emotion, thick and nasal.

“Grace, I'm so sorry… I failed to protect you.”

“I'm useless. If I had just gotten there sooner, if I hadn't let you go back to the apartment alone…”

He was blaming himself.

Grace's heart suddenly melted.

She reached out, gently cupped Damien's face, and wiped the tear from the corner of his eye with her thumb.

“Damien,” she said, looking him seriously in the eyes. “This isn't your fault.”

“And… you came just in time. Like a superhero.”

“Really.”
