NovelEnglishAfter Rosalie washed up, she laid on the couch and pulled up the sheets, ready to fall asleep.
Suddenly, Sebastian opened his eyes. "Rose." "What's the matter?" Rosalie sat up on the couch. "Did I wake you up?" "Cand sleep on the bed. You'll feel more comfortable." "No need. That's your hospital bed. It's not appropriate forto lie on it." Rosalie didn't realize that she was instinctively keeping her distance, and keeping the lines very clear with Sebastian.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. This bed is big enough for the both of us. I also want to hug you to sleep. It makesfeel more secure that way." The gears in Rosalie's head shifted quickly for an excuse good enough to reject him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Seb, you're still hooked up to machines. I won't feel secure sleeping in the sbed as you through the night. If I accidentally hit the tubes, it'd be terrible. It's also a little cramped with two people on the bed. I'll feel more comfortable sleeping on the couch." She and Sebastian were only husband and wife in name, and she couldn't sleep with him. She had reason to reject him at this point, but after Sebastian recovered, she wouldn't know what excuse she could use to reject him.
"Alright, then." Sebastian didn't force her. He looked straight at Rosalie, and said expectantly, "I hope I'll recover quickly and go hsoon. That way, we can share the sbed." Rosalie smiled awkwardly, trying not to make Sebastian suspicious.
"Let's go to sleep." With that, Rosalie laid back on the couch.
Sebastian looked at Rosalie with slight confusion in his eyes. He sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what.
Her reason for not sleeping on the sbed as him made sense, but why did he feel like she had other reasons for rejecting him? The next day, Rosalie woke up very early in the morning. When she opened her eyes, Sebastian was still deep in sleep.
Although she slept on the couch last night, she had the best sleep ever, with no nightmares. She slept soundly until daybreak. Sebastian was fine, and she could rest easy now. All she had to do was to wait for his full recovery.
The doctor said he had to be hospitalized for one month before he could be discharged.
Rosalie crept carefully from the couch to the washroom to freshen herself up. She stood before the mirror, and gently caressed her belly. By the tSebastian was discharged, she would be over four months pregnant, and she would begin to show.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wasn't sure if she wanted to tell Sebastian she was pregnant right now. She couldn't lie to him and make him think that the baby was his.
On the other hand, if she were to be honest with him, she was worried that he might becagitated. Given all the bad things that had happened recently, she didn't want to add to his pressure.
'Forget it,' she thought. She would take things a step at a time. For all she knew, Sebastian might regain his memories.
After Rosalie was done washing up, she returned to the ward and saw Sebastian awake.
"Seb, you're awake. How do you feel?"
Sebastian smiled. "I feel great as long as I see you. I feel as though I don't need to be hospitalized and can go hstraight away."
Rosalie sat by the bedside, and patted his hand. "The doctor said you have to be in hospital for one month to rest and recuperate well. Don't worry, I'll stay by your side. One month will pass by in a flash, and we'll go htogether." Sebastian nodded. "Alright." Rosalie pulled up his sheets. "Letget swater and help you freshen up." When Rosalie stood up, Sebastian grabbed her hand. "I can cdown and do it myself."
"No," Rosalie said. "The doctor said you have to stay in bed for three to five days before trying to get down. Lie down, and I'll csoon with swater." X
