Chapter 676
She was unable to move.
Her body seemed to be shackled.
Rachel stiffened.
"Not feeling well?"
He turned on the light and put his hand on Rachel's forehead, looking at her face.
He was looking at her complexion to check whether it was good or not.
As soon as the light was turned on and the room became bright, Rachel was still a little unaccustomed to the light. So her eyes narrowed. But she clearly felt Everett's touch and heard him clearly.
"No."
"I'm fine."
She opened her eyes and looked into his dark eyes that were looking down at her.
His eyes were very dark and deep, like a whirlpool. It seemed that once you looked at them, you would fall into them.
You would be afraid of such eyes.
Sometimes Rachel was afraid.
But why? She didn't know.
"What's wrong?"
She kept silent and looked at him with suspicion in her eyes.
Everett's expression did not change, but his eyes remained deep.
He touched Rachel's face with his fingers, pinning the long hair that fell on her face behind her ears.
His movements were extremely natural.
"Everett."
Rachel said and held Everett's hand.
Everett paused and his eyes fell on the slender fingers holding his wrist.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to hold his hand since she woke up.
"Emm."
He held Rachel's hand with his backhand, wrapped her hand in his palm, and rubbed it silently.
Rachel did not struggle or move, but she could feel the friction on her fingertips like sand falling on the back of her hand.
"I don't know why. We're clearly husband and wife, but I can't be with you like a couple."
Her eyelashes fluttered and Rachel continued, "I'm sorry."
Everett's hand that was rubbing the palm of Rachel's hand stopped. His deep eyes moved. "It's okay. Take your time."
Everett clenched Rachel's hand, held her in his arms, and looked ahead. "We have a lifetime." Rachel moved her lips and closed them.
But after a while, she couldn't help but say, "Did we have a conflict before my car accident?" For a moment, Everett froze.
Yes, it was Everett who froze, not Rachel.
Rachel felt it and looked up at him. "Really?"
She wouldn't miss his obvious change.
So, Rachel was certain that her guess was right.
Before her car accident, they had a conflict, so after she got better, she rejected him.
She must have blamed him in her heart.
Everett looked down at Rachel.
As his gaze fell on Rachel's face, his body relaxed.
"Why do you ask that?"
He fell his hand on Rachel's hand, and played with her fingers.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
At this moment, Everett looked quite normal, as if he hadn't changed at all.
However, it was hard to see through him.
Rachel did not expect Everett to ask back. She paused and said, "Everything has a reason. We are husband and wife. I can feel your feelings for me, and I... feel no rejection for your love." Rachel wanted to say that she liked him too, but she could not speak out.
So, she changed the words.
But the meaning was the same.
She did like him.
Otherwise, how could she believe him? Trust him?
Everett's hand stopped, and his eyes darkened as he looked at Rachel.
Rachel didn't notice and continued, "I want..."
"What did you just say?"
"Hmm?"
Rachel was interrupted and looked up at him with a confused look in her eyes.
What did she just say?
She didn't say anything.
Everett held Rachel's hand, half lying on her back, and entwined his fingers with hers.
He looked down at her. His eyes fixed on her, and his hands tightened. "You said, you..."
