Chapter 182 Chapter 182: He leaned down, his breath warm against her skin. "Goodnight," he murmured. Then, his lips brushed against hers.

A soft, lingering kiss. Tender. Careful. Almost reverent.

Moments later, she heard him step away. The quiet click of the door signaled his exit. Only then did her tears finally slip free.

But less than a minute later, the door creaked open again. Her breath hitched. Heart pounding, she quickly wiped her tears and resumed her act-still, quiet, asleep.

She wasn't sure when sleep finally took her, but sometin the middle of the night, she stirred, feeling a firm pressure against her back. Half-awake, she reached behind her, her fingers brushing against something solid, like a wall. But it was warm.

Feeling the chill of the night, she instinctively shifted closer, her fingers exploring for the mysterious warmth. Behind her, Brian's body tensed, every muscle freezing in place as he barely dared to breathe.

In the profound silence of midnight, her wandering hand tested the very limits of his restraint. Unable to endure the sweet torture any longer, Brian captured both her hands with one of his own.

Now rendered immobile, Rachel released a soft whimper of protest.

"Let go!" she pleaded, her voice barely audible in the darkness.

As soon as Brian was gone, Rachel headed to the nurse's station. The request for her body check-up had already been processed. Familiar with the procedure now, she completed all the necessary tests by ten in the morning.

"Doctor, when will the results be ready?" she asked.

"Within one to three hours." "Alright. Please letknow when they're available." With that, Rachel left.

The hospital was private, but it was vast-one of the most renowned medical facilities in the city. She wandered through its corridors, letting her feet guide her without a destination in mind.

Before long, she found herself in the critical care unit. Families lingered outside it, their faces lined with worry and exhaustion Through the glass, she saw the patients inside-silent figures connected to an intricate maze of tubes, their fragile lives sustained by cold, unfeeling machines. They lay there, unmoving.

Were they still fighting to live? Or had they already surrendered to the inevitable? She wondered. The m content is on novelenglish.net!
