Chapter 14 She was afraid of the dark

"Nora? Nora!"

Asher picked her up and patted her on the face. "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Nora frowned, wondering whether she was talking to herself or answering Asher: "It's so dark... don't leave me..."

Dark?

It turned out that she was afraid of the dark!

Asher's heart softened instantly, and he suddenly remembered the little girl, who was pale with fear in the dark and shrank beside him.

Asher inexplicably had a feeling of pity in his heart and said gently, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll take you home."

After listening to his words, Nora did not shake so much, but her mouth kept chanting. Asher couldn't hear clearly, so he was in a hurry to take her away.

Asher comforted her all the way: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He put Nora in the co-pilot. Nora was still holding his shirt. He simply took off her coat and covered her.

Asher watched her weak appearance at this time. She was completely different from the girl during that day. Asher felt guilty about her.

If he had saved Nora's cell phone number in his cell phone, if he had received a text message at that time, he would have contacted her quickly.

Fortunately, he came to find her. Otherwise, leaving her alone here all night may lead to something bad happened.

Asher carried Nora back to her room and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was about to leave when her trousers were tightly grasped.

When he looked back, he saw Nora sleeping very unsteadily. Although her face recovered a little, she was still pale.

He raised his hand to take Nora's hand off, but instead, she held it in her arms.

"Don't go... stay with me, okay..."

Her voice trembled slightly, not as indifferent as usual, but as coquetry-like milk sound.

Looking at Nora, that little girl's face came to Asher's mind.

From the first day he saw her, he thought she was very similar to the girl, and now she was even more similar.

After hesitating, Asher was not willing to withdraw his hand but sat by the bed.

Looking softly at Nora, Asher suddenly thought, if his fiancee was the little girl of that year, he would cherish her all his life and accompany her in every night that frightened her, but...

...

When Nora woke up, it was already dawn.

Looking around in confusion, wondering how she came back, Nora looked at Asher and realized that she was still holding Asher's hand.

She quickly let go and sat up. "Why are you here?"

After saying that, she had already reacted.

Yesterday, she saw that her mobile phone was almost dead and turned off, and her condition was extremely poor. She almost fainted and couldn't make a phone call at all. She had to send him a text message with her last consciousness.

Seeing Asher's tired face, his eyes full of red blood streaks, and not having a good rest, she tried to recall the coma, and Nora touched his head embarrassedly.

"You brought me back home, thank you... but why are you still in my room?"

Even if it was to send her back, it was not good for him to leave when they arrived. There was no need to keep her all night, was there?

Asher returned to his usual cold appearance. "Who held my hand last night and wouldn't let me go, do you forget about that?"

"..."

Nora was even more embarrassed. "But... but... I was not awake at that time. You were awake. You can let me go while I am asleep."

"So, is it wrong for me to take care of you all night?"

"I... don't mean that either." It's just that she thought it's abnormal for him to do so, which didn't conform to his previous style.

Asher looked pale and regretted that he shouldn't have been kind enough to stay with her yesterday.

He said indifferently, "Don't think too much, I just don't want anything to happen to you. My grandpa will kill me if something happened to you. I did this not for you. Don't flatter yourself!"

Although Asher's words made people uncomfortable. But Nora sighed a little bit. Those words seemed to be what he could say.

Nora rolled her eyes. "That is, you think too much. I won't be sentimental about anything!"
