I Only Want You novel Chapter 159

Elizabeth felt that her arm was a little numb while half asleep.

She was so exhausted that it took her a lot of effort to open her eyes. Then she saw that James had fallen asleep on her arm. Maybe because of his carelessness, he put his hand on the back of her hand that he was sleeping on as if she was held in his hands.

Maybe he had slept like this a little too long, Elizabeth's arm was swollen from the pressure. Seeing this scene, she thought for a while, but she just endured the discomfort and was afraid that it would wake him up.

He must be exhausted, isn't he?

In recent days, he was so busy that he didn't have time to sleep. Today, he had experienced such a thing with her. Maybe he really couldn't stand it, so he fell asleep like this.

He sat in the wheelchair. Perhaps because it was uncomfortable to sleep in this position, he frowned slightly.

After all these things, her feelings for him were like waves of excitement that filled her heart. But when she saw him sleeping beside her, she felt strangely calm and peaceful.

The air conditioning in the room was low. Elizabeth worried that James, who was wearing only a thin hospital gown, would catch a cold. She also didn't want to pull out the arm he was sleeping on. Finally, she sat up with the pain in her waist and used her other arm to lift the quilt she was covering and gently put it on him.

Her movement was so light, but it still alarmed him.

James's eyelids twitched, and his first reaction was to see her. Seeing her sitting there and glancing at the quilt on her body, he instantly understood what she was doing.

He frowned a little gloomily. When he realized what he was sleeping on, he immediately straightened up and removed his hand from the back of her hand.

Just now, he looked at her sleeping for a long time. He wanted to touch her lips but withdrew his hand with a guilty conscience. Finally, he didn't hold back to pull her hand. Then... He fell asleep like that.

Actually he finally recognized his own feeling for her today. When he suddenly faced her who was awake, he felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

His feelings were a little complicated, but he still pretended to be calm. He coughed softly and asked, "You're awake?" There was still sleepiness in his voice.

Elizabeth didn't have time to lie down. Seeing this, she couldn't help but be stunned. Then she raised the corner of her mouth to him, and she said almost at the same time with him, "You're awake?"

Hearing this, both of them couldn't help but smile and then nodded.

"How are you feeling?"

"How's your leg?" Two voices rang out at the same time again.

In an instant, both of them were stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

This time, James said first, "Well, I'm fine." After thinking for a while, he said, "Thank you."

— Thank you for what you've done for me. Otherwise, how could I be as relaxed as I am now?

After hearing that, Elizabeth smiled at him more brilliantly. "That's good." Then she touched her nose in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I should have waited until I was sure how you were before I slept... Why did I fall asleep later?"

"Never mind."

She had done so much for him and supported him walk for so long and so far. She was so thin that she must be very tired. How could he blame her for falling asleep?

No? He said she wasn't ugly, did he?

She was stunned for a long time and wanted to say something. But the nurse, who was about to remove her needle, came in at this time.

The nurse pulled out the needle from the back of her hand and took the infusion bottle in her hand. Before she left, she said to Elizabeth, "It's better to keep your wound from touching the water for the next few days. I've already applied medicine to you, so don't worry about the scars. But you may feel itchy these two days, especially at night. Remember not to scratch it."

Elizabeth nodded, "I got it. Thank you."

The nurse turned to James and said, "You guys who come to take care of her need to pay some attention too. It's best to keep her on light food for a few days. If she feels itchy, especially at night, you should take care to prevent her from scratching the wound."

Upon hearing that, James focused on these words -light food, and night.

It was easy for him to understand the first one, but the next...

"At night?"

The nurse nodded. "Pay attention to it when you sleep at night. If she wants to scratch it, you need to stop her." After that, she added, "Well, Dr. Bai told us that she is your wife."

James was stunned and did not speak.

When she sleeps at night? Well...
