Alla lowered her eyes to look at the man lying on top of her. From this angle, all she could see was a head full of thick hair. She didn't know what he wanted to do, and she couldn't move, so she could only stare at him...
He seemed to sigh lightly, mumbling somewhat listlessly, "Why couldn't you have waited for me..."
His voice was full of sadness, as if he had lost someone very important to him, and he was deeply immersed in the past. Alla now understood that her heart had been replaced, likely with the heart of Gordon Collins's lover.
No wonder he had told her during the day, "Since you're awake, you might as well live in her place." He wanted her to live in the place of his lover. Gordon Collins was lying on her, feeling the rhythm of her heart, which was beating faster than when she was sleeping. He guessed she was awake.
