Chapter 228

I rubbed my forehead as I was on the verge of losing myself.

"Natalia, why can't you just calm down and start a new life?"

Eric's question caused me to laugh at myself. I lowered my head and replied,

"When a mirror breaks, there is a loud noise. But no one listens to the cry of a broken heart. This need for love destroyed me entirely. I am afraid to even think of being with a man."

Eric turned silent. He had nothing to say in reply to my words.

I slowly stood up from the bed. "Have you eaten anything? Can you walk?" I asked, glancing at his covered legs.

"I can. It is just that when I move, I feel pain all over my body."

"Okay, I will send maids with your food. Take a rest."

"That's what I have been doing for months. Give me some work to do. Death in leisure is not what I want."

After saying that, Eric tried to sit up. However, I quickly grabbed his arm and assisted him in sitting up.

"There is something I wanted to tell you," Eric said, looking at his hands, which looked thin to me.
