You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1878 Every T| Sleep, It's Over

In the ward, the atmosphere was tense and strange. The air seemed to move with difficulty, the pressure dropping, making

breathing increasingly difficult.

Felix kept staring at Vicki, his gaze unwavering. While Vicki felt something was off, she couldn't quite grasp what was wrong with

Felix. Yet, Joyce had just told her to take care of Felix more, considering the severity of his injuries, so there might be ssense in

it.

Breaking the silence, she asked, "Do you want swater?"

Felix furrowed his handsbrows. "Don't change the subject," he snapped.

"What subject?" Vicki was puzzled. "I just lit a cigarette out of habit earlier. I'll quit during pregnancy. | have that much self-control."

"I'm not talking about that," Felix said stiffly.

"Then what are you talking about? Felix, can you please be clear? What are you up to? You've been acting strange since you woke

up. What's going on?"

Vicki looked displeased; she detested having to guess, finding it tiresome. "Am | causing a scene? Felix, have you been taking our

child seriously?"

"I didn't have an abortion. What do you mean?" Vicki was even more puzzled. "If | didn't want the baby, would | have gone for a

check-up just now?"

Felix took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "You almost took our child with you when you went to meet Seren. You still haven't

explained that to me."

"I did explain. | told you | would protect you. Unless Seren died, | couldn't guarantee your safety." Vicki frowned, explaining once

more, her patience wearing thin.

"And what about you? What if you died? Have you thought about me? Watching you die in front of me. Do you wantto live the

rest of my life in pain and hell? What about the child? You've deprived them of the right to be born!" Felix almost roared. "You

actually suggested | treat you as if | never knew you! Do you think that's possible? You're already engraved in my bones. Tell me,

how am | supposed to act like nothing ever happened!"

Moving closer to Felix's bed, Vicki softened her tone. "At that moment, | didn't think about all that. | didn't realize | was pregnant; it

was just a reflex. | didn't want you to die. Someone had to make the sacrifice, and I'd rather it be me."

Felix suddenly fell silent. Vicki wasn't usually expressive, but her words at this moment surpassed a declaration of enduring love.

Could he interpret it as her valuing his life over her own?

He suddenly didn't know what to say; his thin lips trembled continuously.

Seeing him distressed, Vicki thought he might be feeling uncomfortable or recalling the dreadful incident that day. So, she leaned

down and kissed his trembling lips.

Felix was stunned. She had just kissed him in the hospital, catching him off guard. Amid his surprise, he even forgot to return the

kiss, letting her continue.

After her kiss stilled his trembling lips, she withdrew. Looking at him, she said, "Felix, are you frustrated? Is that why you're acting

so strangely? Do you want me? Here? | can, you don't have to move. | consulted the doctor just now; I'm fine. I'm mainly

concerned about your wound."

Saying this, she stepped onto the bed, straddling his legs, and began unbuttoning his shirt until the bandages on his shoulder were

revealed.

Felix was utterly bewildered. It was only now that he finally reacted.

He abruptly grabbed her hands, which were wandering all over, drawing in a sharp breath. He growled, "No!"

Vicki stopped, looking at him in confusion. He had been temperamental before, and she didn't know how to placate him; she had

no patience. Every t| sleep, it's over. After all, after a good night's sleep, he wouldn't be temperamental anymore.

So her understanding was that when a man was frustrated, he would be temperamental. They had been apart for stime, and

it had been a while, perhaps he was truly distressed.

Firmly holding Vicki's wrists, Felix realized that it was impossible to continue without clarifying things. She actually thought he

wanted to sleep with her. What was she thinking? In her eyes, he was just a creature ruled by his lower desires.

"Vicki! Is it only desire for me? What do you takefor? After losing Rayan, you sought physical comfort?" he coldly questioned.

"Physical comfort?" Vicki was slightly taken aback.

"Isn't it? You said you liked Rayan. You admitted it this morning! You've been childhood friends with himfor so many years. What do

| have with you, apart from a physical relationship?" Felix's tone had changed.

"I think | said I liked him, in the past," Vicki corrected him.

"Vicki, I love you! | love you!" Felix was on the verge of collapsing, consumed by jealousy. He was damned jealous!

In the face of his confession, Vicki grew even more perplexed. "Oh, | know."
