章節 120: ALPHA XERXES

Gael had been keeping his distance from Lise and every time he saw her in discomfort with his presence, he would back away, though it took everything in him to stay away from her. 

But at this moment, he wanted to be as close as possible with her…

"Can I?" Gael took a step closer, but he stopped as Lise had not yet given him the permission.

"Okay," Lise finally replied in her soft voice. She pushed herself up into a sitting position and leaned her body against the headboard of the bed.

"Thank you," Gael said, as he walked over and took a glass of water to be given to Lise before he sat down beside the woman that he loved, leaning against the headboard.

"Thank you," Lise said softly and drank the water gratefully, she just realized that her throat was very sore and the water was very refreshing.
