Chapter 489
Elisa took a deep breath and hummed, “This is not a dream.I did say that.”
With that, she lowered her head to avoid Carle’s fervent gaze.
Both Rachel and Sheena were a bundle of nerves – they knew Elisa responded in
such a way because she didn’t dare to face him.
However, Carle did not think much about the situation and grinned even brighter,
thinking that Elisa was merely shy.
Nonetheless, he tried to suppress the passion in his gaze because he didn’t want
Elisa to feel overwhelmed.
Sheena couldn’t take her eyes off Carle.
However, noticing that Carle’s gaze was constantly fixed on Elisa, she inhaled and
uttered thoughtfully, “Since you’ve regained consciousness, we shall not disturb the

too, after looking after you for so many days”
Sheena stood up and held Rachel’s hand.
Rachel was sorry to sce Sheena forcing a smile but had no choice but to chime in with
a smile, “Yeah.Yeah.We’ll not be a third wheel here.Have a good time.”
Elisa lifted her eyes which were filled with mixed emotions.
Carle wore a grateful smile and said to Sheena and Rachel, “Alright, rest well, you
two.Thanks for taking care of me”
“Don’t mention it! We’re friends.There, there.We’re leaving first, sce you.”
Sheena feigned an impatient look and dragged Rachel out of the ward, leaving Elisa
and Carle in the room.
Elisa lowered her head and was tongue-tied.
Carle stared at her guiltily.
“I clearly heard every word you said while I was in a coma, but I couldn’t respond to
you at that time.Sorry, Elisa.I will be more careful next time so that you don’t have to
worry about me.”
Elisa’s eyelashes fluttered.
When she lifted her eyes and met Carle’s fervent gaze, she subconsciously wanted to
shy away from him, but she knew she couldn’t show her real emotions.Nonetheless,
some emotions were genuine — for example, her guilt.
She sighed and mumbled, “It’s my fault to begin with.If I didn’t…”
“Elisa, it’s not your fault.I’m just grateful for this accident.Otherwise, how would I
possibly…”
Carle’s eyes glued to Elisa’s face, but he didn’t continue the sentence as he was
worried that Elisa would be shy.
Elisa lowered her head and remained silent.
Carle moved his body slightly and wanted to sit up.
Elisa stopped him immediately.

Carle wore a rueful smile.
“I’m going to be dim-witted if I continue staying in bed.”
Elisa walked forward and helped Carle adjust his position, but Carle suddenly lifted his
arm and grabbed Elisa’s hand.
Stunned, Elisa subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but she didn’t after
hesitating for a moment.
Nonetheless, her body obviously stiffened.
Carle made her sit down and gulped as he gazed at her affectionately.
“If it wasn’t for you, I might not be able to come around this time.You never left me
ever since I was in a coma.When I heard about the three days limit you gave me, I
was really afraid that you would abandon me.I was struggling to wake up so that I
could…”
He paused and looked at Elisa before spitting word by word.
“Embrace you.”
