章節 381: Chapter 381: He Was Awake

Stuart felt Edie's fingers tighten slightly on his arm. He slowly inhaled then exhaled with a sense of relief. He looked at her for a long moment, during which his brow tightened as if he were trying to bring them into more precise focus. Concern had touched him. 'Has she been here the whole time?' he wondered. Something stabbed at his heart. 'How pale and fragile she looks.' He watched her breath, studying the way her eyelashes shadowed her cheeks. Then he noticed the tear tracks down the side of her face. 'I've been so worried about her!' Thinking about how frightened she must have been, wondering what kind of terrible memories must be plaguing her. Stuart gently moved her hand from his arm, trying his hardest not to wake her up. The gentle touch on his hand woke Edie up.
