Chapter 173 - I love you (1/2)

I was about to get lost in the kiss when his body stiffened and he pulled back.

'Hey! I'm not done!' I screamed in my head, but still put on a plain expression.

”How do you feel?” he asked, but my eyes remained glued on his lips. What could I have done if I had died? this sweet lips will belong to someone else?

I didn't know why my mind suddenly drifted to such. I felt pissed at myself and jealous at the assumed outcome.

He was still waiting for my answer, but since something else has popped up, I couldn't control myself and speak up. ”What will you do if I had died?” I asked.

He scoffed, but I could tell he's pissed. I still wanted to know, ”how long will you mourn me before dating another woman?” I asked again, hoping he will understand my point.

He stared into my eyes for a long while, before averting his gaze and landed it on my waist area. ”Does it still hurt?” he asked.

'Hey! don't brush away my question! I'm damn curious.' I growled in my head and pouted my lips, ignoring his question as well.

Yeah well! we women tend to act spoiled when we were given the privilege. Especially by the man we love.

I knew I was wrong, but since he took the blame, here I am, acting spoilt and taking advantage. If he hadn't taken the blame; I could have swore to be feeling bad right now, probably pleading with him.

Immediately those thoughts crossed my head; I relaxed my pout. ”It didn't hurt.” I replied.

He smiled at me and my heart race. He stood up and went around to the other side of the bed, as the side is free from all these annoying connection to my skin.

{Ethan's POV}

Getting to her side, I wrapped my arms around her and hug her. I was careful not to hurt her, but I couldn't resist holding her.

How can she do this to me. What sort of question did she just asked me. I felt pissed over it, but not with her.

I'm not me anymore. It's the first time with love and it's driving me crazy. I never thought feelings could bring such effect to me.

I don't blink when I sign multi million deals. I don't waver when I was surrounded by guns and was held captive. I overcome opponent's company mercilessly and care less.

But seeing her on the sick bed makes my heart broke. It hurts so much and I couldn't even control my tears. Each encounter just kept making me realize how much I love her, how much she meant to me.

But, she just asked me the question I dread to think of. Even though I was told she will be alright; that thought made me unable to leave her side.

I'm scared of losing her. I've never felt this way with anyone. I can't control myself and feelings when it comes to her.

”You must not think about dying from now.” I said.
