Eric nodded, his tone gentle, "It's still early, sleep a little more. I'll notify you immediately if there's any news."
Aldana nodded lightly and turned to lie down on the bed. Eric moved forward to pull the blanket over her, his gaze falling on Aldana's face, which had no expression as her eyes were closed.
She looked very tired and weary, as if she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
Beneath her eyelids, there was a faint trace of dark circles.
Although she went to bed early every night, she probably tossed and turned, unable to sleep, possibly suffering from insomnia all night long.
"Aldana," he called her softly.
Aldana opened her eyes and looked at him.
Eric squatted down by the bed and took her hand, which was ice-cold, almost without any warmth.
"I will stay with you no matter what happens."
"..." Aldana seemed to freeze for a moment, then managed a strained smile and said slowly, "Thank you."
Eric watched her for a while, then got up and left the room.
