Chapter 182

Della’s POV

One call of my name and my breathing stopped.

“Oh, god!” I exclaimed in my mind, my heart pounded with indescribable joy while more tears streamed down to my cheek with my chin quivering.

Trembling, I sat up properly, looking up at the man lying on bed with his eyelids open. He stared at my swollen and misty eyes as he gently called, “Della…”

His hand rose and found mine, holding me weakly, but that’s all enough to make me regain all my strength back.

“Y-you… You finally woke up! Oh god! Thank you! I… I s-swear, I’ll never l-leave you again,” I swore in between cries and hiccups.

Kylian’s face was pale with evident weakness, but that smile that formed in his lips was brighter than what I’ve seen from him for months.

He raised his hand and wiped my tears with his thumb before he slid his hand back to my nape, pulling me down towards him until our eyes were only an inch away and the tip of our nose touching.

“I miss you,” he whispered.
