I Only Want You novel Chapter 223

Elizabeth heard him and didn't say anything.

She was held by James in his arms, so she could clearly hear James's strong heartbeat one after another. And every sound was telling her that he really was staying safe by her side.

She reached out her hands and hugged him back.

The fear of having the possibility to lose him and the feeling of being moved made her gradually hugged him even tighter.

"That was great. He was still here."

James naturally understood why she did this. He raised his hand and patted her on the back. He comforted her in a low voice, "I'm here..."

After a while, he let go of her and asked, "Are you hungry? Let's eat something."

Elizabeth raised her head and shook her head at him.

When she saw his head, her eyes were full of worry. She said with distress, "Does it hurt?"

He looked at her and smiled gently, "It doesn't hurt." In fact, it was still painful. But when he saw her caring eyes, he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Do you hurt anywhere else on your body?"

"Just a little bruises."

"Did you apply the ointment?" As she said this, she wanted to see where the wound was. James stopped her, "It doesn't matter. Don't worry, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Elizabeth knew that he really didn't want to show it to her. So she could only give up, "Don't be so stupid in the future..." She pursed her lips, "I'm really scared."

James looked at her and recalled what she said in that ward just now. He suddenly wanted to listen to more sweet words from her, "If you call me honey, I will promise you."

Hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly felt a little hot on her face. She wanted to push him away with embarrassment, but she was afraid that she would accidentally hit the place where he was injured. So she had to turn her head the other way with a blush.

James smiled and knew that she was shy, so he stopped teasing her. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's eat. The food should be cold."

Elizabeth was at ease now, but her appetite wasn't very good. She forced herself to eat slowly and accompany him. When she looked at him from time to time, she felt full not only in her stomach, but also in her heart.

James had been through too much today. He had only eaten breakfast, but he didn't want to eat much right now.

After putting down the chopsticks, he wanted to accompany Elizabeth to go out for a walk. But Elizabeth thought of his injury and did not agree, so he had to give up. He sat side by side on the couch with her in his arms and even played a cartoon movie for her. This cartoon movie was very joyful. Elizabeth usually enjoyed watching these. She found it funny and childlike. But now, how could she watch it seriously?

Bear Bro, the bald man is here to cut trees again!

This b*stard bald man! Let's go and have a look!

Elizabeth stared at the TV. But she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "James..."

"What?"

"You haven't promised me what I just said."

It seemed that he didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"Just don't be so stupid in the future." She turned her head to look at him, "You haven't promised me yet." He didn't agree, and she felt uneasy.

"..." Elizabeth pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.

"I can't agree to your request just now, because I am a man. But I promise you that I'll get back to you well, no matter what. Is that okay?"

Elizabeth knew that he was right, and she knew that what he had done today was not wrong. However, as his wife, she could not help but refute him after hearing his words, "But you are not well now." He was injured, and she was worried about him.

"This..." He raised his eyebrows. And when he heard her muffled words, he could not help but feel a little funny, "Well, today I was careless. It's my fault. Is it okay?"

After that, he continued, "Anyway, you just need to remember what I promised you, okay?"

Elizabeth pursed her lips. After a long while, she reluctantly replied, "Okay."

Hearing this, James smiled with satisfaction and kissed her on the top of her head, "Good girl!" After that, he thought for a while and said seriously, "I know you may not be happy. But you know I'm a man of my word, right? I promise you I'll be well and healthy. So that you don't need to worry about me. Beyond that, I also promise you that even... Even when we're both above seventy years old... Although it sounds a little far away... I can promise you that even then, I'll be fine. Because I want you to leave before me, even for a day, an hour, a second..."

His words sounded both funny and annoying, but Elizabeth's heart was full of emotions, and her nose was sour and uncomfortable.

She hugged him back and buried her head deeply in his arms.

She naturally understood what he meant.

He was afraid that she would be worried and even made such a promise. As he said, it might be very far away. But he was actually committing his life to her. They would spend the rest of their lives together. When they got old, someone would leave first. And the one who was left behind was bound to be lonely and miserable.

She couldn't say anything, but just tried her best to hug him. Her eyes were very hot and her throat was very tight, but she was very touched in her heart.

How could he do that? How could he say such touching words casually, and it was too heartwarming for her to resist...
