Chapter 77: Back To Life

I gritted my teeth, pushing more of my strength into him.

My vision blurred, the exhaustion creeping into my limbs, but I refused to stop.

Come on, Edward.

Fight.

His breathing steadied, barely.

Color returned to his face, but his body remained limp.

He was still too weak.

"Damn it," I muttered, sweat dripping down my temple.

I wouldn't lose him.

Not like this.

I didn't care how much it took out of me.

I would keep going until he opened his eyes again.

A sharp gasp tore through the silence.

Edward's body tensed beneath my hands, his chest rising in a sudden, desperate breath.

His fingers twitched, his eyes fluttered open, dazed, unfocused, but alive.

Relief hit me so hard I nearly collapsed.

I let out a shaky breath, my hands trembling as I pulled away.

My entire body felt drained, exhaustion creeping into my bones, but it didn't matter.

He was back.
