Chapter # 51

I was about to confess that I love her but her grip on my hand tightened a little as she tilt her head a little and slowly opened her eyes,

"Christian..." She breathed out. My eyes widened in glee as tears streamed down.

"Don't cry..." She whispered, tightening her grip on my hand.

"I am so glad to see you awake." I sobbed. I put my head on her hand and continued to sob.

"Please.. don't Christian.." She whispered in a croaked voice. I looked at her, I knew If I cried anymore, she'll cry too.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and sniffed. I wiped my tears and smiled.

I cupped her cheeks slightly, so as not to touch the bandit on her cheek and to avoid touching her lips because of the cut present on it.
