Chapter 476: Just The Doctor!
Natalie yawned, feeling exhausted even when she had just woken up. But it still felt better. For weeks she was suffering from nightmares. It was to the limit that she felt more exhausted after sleeping.
But last night was better. She had nightmares but they ended somehow. When she begged the man to leave, they left. One of them even assured her that they would not return.
She was amused by the thought that she knew him perhaps. It must be her strong will and treatment. Would she improve completely with time? She stretched herself on the bed and tossed only to freeze at her place.
No it could not be a dream. Could it be? She blinked and sat up slowly.
Max was sitting on the ground since there was no chair or sofa. He was leaning to her bed and sleeping there.
Could it be that he sleepwalked? Because he looked like he was deep asleep. Though he didn’t accept it, she knew that it was his room and the room he was living in was supposed to be the guest room. Though both rooms had minimal differences, she still knew he had given up his room to make her more comfortable.
She watched him shifting slowly but then goraning and returning to his old position to get the support of bed. Though he looked uncomfortable. She was sure it was not the first time for him to sleep this uncomfortably.
Nat paused as she suddenly remembered the whisper of the man that she was safe now and her eyes widened. It.. it was him. He was nursing her whole night so that she did not have nightmares. Her eyes widened with disbelief and something shifted in her.
The way she looked at him changed. She felt warmth in the cold room and her heart beat erratically. A ripple of feeling burst and enveloped her like a caterpillar is enveloped inside a warm cocoon and turned into a butterfly.
