Chapter 965
Richard, who had just arrived at the door, heard a groan from behind him. When he turned his head and took a
look, he hurried back on his long legs in an instant. He leaned over and looked at the pale girl who was clutching her
chest, his voice filled with worry as he asked, “What‘s wrong?”
“It hurts... My heart hurts.” Angela felt that her heart was about to shatter into pieces.
“Okay, I‘m not going anywhere. I‘ll stay with you. I won‘t leave.” Richard‘s tone softened, and he apologized to her
in a restrained and low voice, “I‘m sorry.”
Angela was taken aback. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. The moment she met his
gentle eyes, it was as if the rope tightened around her heart had loosened a little, and the pain gradually subsided
until it faded into nothing. Was the cause of her severe heartache just now related to this man?
Angela looked up at Richard. He was looking at her intently as well; it was as if time had stopped at this moment.

desperate. She couldn‘t leave him, but she couldn‘t stay by his side either; she didn‘t know where to place him in
her heart.
Richard continued to remain seated by her side, annoyed by his cold behavior just now. She was suffering from a
high fever, causing not only her mental state but her entire body to be weakened, but he had treated her like that.
Clearly, she would get even more hurt.
Richard watched her gaze lower as her tears fell onto the blanket. When he picked up the tissue on the side and
handed it to her, Angela stretched out her hand to take it, wiping her tears with them. Her head still felt fuzzy, and
even her heart felt heavy. She had never felt so weak before, like a child who had to be protected and taken care
of. At the same time, Richard‘s cold treatment earlier also made her inexplicably sad, as if he was cutting her off.
Due to the medicine and her fever, she slowly became drowsy and lay down. As the blanket was a tad too thin, she
subconsciously curled up into a ball.
Sensing this, Richard walked to another bed and spread out another blanket on top of her before he gently
comforted, “Go to sleep. I‘ll stay here with you.”
“It‘s fine. You should go back and sleep.” Angela shook her head. If he were here, her sleep would be affected even
more.
At her words, Richard had no choice but to get up. “I’ll ask a nurse to come and look after you.”
After he left, Angela pursed her red lips, feeling angry that she didn‘t fight back earlier, and feeling furious at
herself for easily getting so angered by him that her heart ached. It shocked her. When did this man become so
important to her? Would she be unable to live without him?
She had a restless sleep that night. After having several consecutive nightmares, she felt weak and tired. Even the
nurse felt sorry for her, and took a hot towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead a few times. As dawn broke on
an early winter morning, Angela slept very deeply, perhaps because she hadn‘t gotten much rest the previous
night.

previous night.
“Miss Angela‘s fever has gone down, and she only has a mild fever now, but she kept having nightmares last night
and woke up many times. Captain Lloyd, you should talk to her.”
Richard nodded slightly, and the nurse moved aside for him. When he pushed the door open, a trace of warm
winter sunlight trickled in from the window, while the girl in bed curled up with morbidly pale skin, still deep in
sleep.
Richard sat down and looked at her face, falling deep into thought. What should he do with her? Should he send her
back to her parents or let her stay here for a period of time?
Just like that, Angela slept until two in the afternoon. She felt as if someone was staying with her, but when she
opened her eyes, there wasn‘t anyone in sight. She couldn‘t help but sit up and sigh. Why did she feel like someone
was with her?
Just then, the nurse walked in with a tray of medicine for her to take.
“Was someone sitting by my side earlier?” Angela asked curiously.
