Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Can I Kiss You?

SOPHIA’S POV

I lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, but I wasn’t really seeing it.

My body still felt weak, like all my strength had been drained out of . The fever had gone down slightly, but I could still feel the heat inside .

Zade sat beside .

He hadn’t moved much since he ca back into the room. His presence was calm and I could feel his attention on

constantly.

“You should try to sleep,” he said softly.

I turned my head slightly to look at him. “I just woke up,”

“That doesn’t an you’ve rested enough,”

I didn’t argue. I didn’t have the energy to.

I looked at the IV stand beside the bed. The clear fluid in the bag was almost empty now. I hadn’t even noticed how much ti had passed.

Zade noticed it imdiately.

“Your IV is almost done,” he said, standing up.

I watched him quietly as he walked over to the stand.

“You don’t have to do that,” I said softly. “You can call a nurse.”

“I know,” he replied calmly.

He didn’t stop. Instead, he carefully removed the empty bag and replaced it with a new one, making sure everything was properly connected. His fingers moved carefully. His expression was focused.

I watched him the entire ti. His actions, the way he was so gentle with things that concerned , it made my heart skip a beat.

“You’ve done this before?” I asked.

“A few tis,” he said.

That didn’t surprise . Zade always seed like the kind of person who knew how to handle things on his own.

When he finished, he adjusted the line slightly and then looked at

again.

“Does it hurt?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No.”

He nodded then returned to the chair beside the bed.

The room fell quiet again but it wasn’t uncomfortable. The silence was different from before.

Before, silence used to feel heavy, suffocating, like sothing was missing. But now, it felt... calm. I felt safe here.

I didn’t understand it. Hell, I didn’t even know how to explain it. And that made

uneasy.

“You shouldn’t stay,” I said after a mont.

Zade looked at . “Why?”

“It’s not necessary,”

“It is to ,”

His answer was simple, but it carried weight.

I looked away. I didn’t want him to see how much his words affected .

“You don’t have to do this,” I said quietly. “You don’t owe

anything.”

“I’m not doing it because I owe you,”

I didn’t respond, because I didn’t know how to.

Then I felt it. Zade leaned closer. My breath caught slightly.

He didn’t touch

imdiately. He just stayed there, close enough that I could feel his warmth. His presence was so intense that it made my heart beat faster.

“Sophia,” he said softly.

I turned my head slightly toward him. my heart race picked up. I could feel my skin tingling.

His eyes were serious, but there was sothing deeper in them, sothing that made my heart skip a beat.

“Can I kiss you?” he asked.

The question caught

off guard. My mind went blank for a second.

My heart reacted before my thoughts could catch up.

“No,” I said quickly.

Zade didn’t move.

He didn’t look hurt. He didn’t look disappointed. His expression remained the sa.

He just nodded “Okay,”

I blinked in shock. That was it? There was no argunt. He didn’t pressure

or try to convince .

He leaned back again, giving

space, as if nothing had happened...but sothing had.

My heart didn’t calm down imdiately. It kept beating fast. I turned my head away, trying to steady myself.

Why did that feel so... complicated? Why did I hesitate for even a second?

My wolf stirred inside

but it didn’t push forward. It just stayed there, watching, waiting.

“You should sleep,” Zade said.

I didn’t argue this ti. I closed my eyes slowly, letting my body relax against the bed.

But after a few monts, I felt sothing shift. The bed dipped slightly.

My eyes opened again. To my surprise, Zade was climbing onto the bed.

“What are you doing?” I asked, surprised.

“The bed is small,”

I narrowed my eyes at him “That’s exactly why you shouldn’t be on it,”

He ignored that.

Instead, he adjusted himself carefully beside , making sure not to disturb the IV line. The space was tight, almost too tight, but he didn’t seem bothered.

“You need warmth,” he said.

“I’m fine”

“You’re not,”

Before I could respond, he reached out and gently pulled

closer.

I froze.

His arm wrapped around . His touch was gentle, as if he was holding sothing fragile. His body was warm in a way I didn’t expect.

“You can’t just-” I started.

“You can push

away if you want,” he said quietly.

I paused.

I didn’t move. My body was too tired. My mind was too heavy.

And honestly... I didn’t want to.

So, I stayed.

Zade adjusted his hold slightly, making sure I was comfortable. His movents were slow, like he was afraid of hurting .

“Just sleep,” he murmured.

His voice was low, close to my ear, and it sent shivers down my spine.

I didn’t resist. I couldn’t.

I let my body relax against him. My head rested against his chest. His heartbeat was calm, and sohow, it made my own breathing slow down.

My wolf settled completely.

For the first ti in what felt like forever... I felt safe.

My eyes closed again and this ti, sleep ca quickly. It was deep and peaceful.

I didn’t dream. I didn’t wake up in fear. I just... slept.

Throughout the night, Zade didn’t move much. He held

carefully, adjusting only when necessary, making sure I stayed comfortable. Every ti I shifted slightly, his arm tightened just enough to keep

close.

He didn’t sleep either.

His eyes remained open, watching over . he stayed awake to watch my breathing and my temperature, even the steady rhythm of my heartbeat. He paid attention to all of it.

He watched over

like I was sothing precious
