Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 263

In the ward, Horace was holding Clara's hand and waiting for her to wake up.

When Clara woke up, she saw a room of white. And then she was relieved as she realized that she was in a hospital after finally escaping.

"Babe, you wake up." Seeing that Clara had woken up, Horace was happy yet nervous.

Hearing Horace's voice, tears rolled down her eyes and she felt scared and panicked again. She wanted to see him so much when she was struggling in that warehouse and now it finally happened.

"Horace, I..." She called his name while sobbing, and she couldn't say anything more but looked at him with watering eyes.

Horace wiped her tears lovingly and held her to his arms, and comforted her in a choked voice, "It's okay, I'm here with you."

Hearing Horace's comfort, Clara finally broke down crying in his arms like she could vent all her anguish, scare and anger to him.

Hearing her crying, Horace felt that his eyes were also moist. He blinked and patted her back gently, "Oh, don't cry, it's okay. It's all gone."

Clara finally stopped crying after a long time, but she was still sobbing in his arms.

Horace slowly pushed her away, grabbed a tissue nearby to wipe her tears, and then held her into his arms again with his chin touching her head, which was a soundless comfort.

Clara was snuggling in his arms, feeling his warm chest and the peace of her mind.

After a long while, Clara finally regained composure and raised her head from his chest, only to find out that his shirt had gotten wet from her tears and snot.

She was a little embarrassed and was afraid to see him in the eyes so she just took a tissue to help him clean.

"That's okay, I'll get changed later." Horace held her hand gently and said while looking at her in the eyes.

She was all crying emotionally when she saw him before and didn't take a good look at him. Now she finally saw him clearly when their eyes met.

Horace looked terrible with his swollen eyes, dull and unfocused gaze, dark shadows under his eyes, and some stubble on his chin and around his mouth, which suggested that he hadn't been on good rest for a long time.

Clara touches his face and asked with love, "Why did you do this to yourself? I'm sorry you were so worried."

Hearing her words, Horace felt worse as it was nothing compared to what happened to herself, but she was apologizing. It was his fault that he didn't protect her well enough.

He held her into his arms and tried to hold back his tears, "It's all right, babe. I will never leave you no matter what happened."

"What?" Clara looked at him doubtfully while gently getting herself untangled from the hug.
