Chapter 1878 Every Time I Sleep, It's Over
In the ward, the atmosphere was tense and strange. The air seemed to move with difficulty, the
pressure dropping, making breathing increasingly difficult.
Felix kept staring at Vicki, his gaze unwavering. While Vicki felt something was off, she couldn't quite
grasp what was wrong with Felix. Yet, Joyce had just told her to take care of Felix more, considering
the severity of his injuries, so there might be some sense in it.
Breaking the silence, she asked, "Do you want some water?"novelbin
Felix furrowed his handsome brows. "Don't change the subject," he snapped.
"What subject?" Vicki was puzzled. "I just lit a cigarette out of habit earlier. I'll quit during pregnancy. I
have that much self-control."
"I'm not talking about that," Felix said stiffly.
"Then what are you talking about? Felix, can you please be clear? What are you up to? You've been
acting strange since you woke up. What's going on?"
Vicki looked displeased; she detested having to guess, finding it tiresome. "Am I causing a scene?
Felix, have you been taking our child seriously?"
"I didn't have an abortion. What do you mean?" Vicki was even more puzzled. "If I didn't want the baby,
would I have gone for a check-up just now?"
Felix took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "You almost took our child with you when you went to
meet Seren. You still haven't explained that to me."
"I did explain. I told you I would protect you. Unless Seren died, I couldn't guarantee your safety." Vicki
frowned, explaining once more, her patience wearing thin.
"And what about you? What if you died? Have you thought about me? Watching you die in front of me.
Do you want me to live the rest of my life in pain and hell? What about the child? You've deprived them
of the right to be born!" Felix almost roared. "You actually suggested I treat you as if I never knew you!
Do you think that's possible? You're already engraved in my bones. Tell me, how am I supposed to act
like nothing ever happened!"
Moving closer to Felix's bed, Vicki softened her tone. "At that moment, I didn't think about all that. I
didn't realize I was pregnant; it was just a reflex. I didn't want you to die. Someone had to make the
sacrifice, and I'd rather it be me."
Felix suddenly fell silent. Vicki wasn't usually expressive, but her words at this moment surpassed a
declaration of enduring love. Could he interpret it as her valuing his life over her own?
He suddenly didn't know what to say; his thin lips trembled continuously.
Seeing him distressed, Vicki thought he might be feeling uncomfortable or recalling the dreadful
incident that day. So, she leaned down and kissed his trembling lips.
Felix was stunned. She had just kissed him in the hospital, catching him off guard. Amid his surprise,
he even forgot to return the kiss, letting her continue.
After her kiss stilled his trembling lips, she withdrew. Looking at him, she said, "Felix, are you
frustrated? Is that why you're acting so strangely? Do you want me? Here? I can, you don't have to
move. I consulted the doctor just now; I'm fine. I'm mainly concerned about your wound."
Saying this, she stepped onto the bed, straddling his legs, and began unbuttoning his shirt until the
bandages on his shoulder were revealed.
Felix was utterly bewildered. It was only now that he finally reacted.
He abruptly grabbed her hands, which were wandering all over, drawing in a sharp breath. He growled,
"No!"
Vicki stopped, looking at him in confusion. He had been temperamental before, and she didn't know
how to placate him; she had no patience. Every time I sleep, it's over. After all, after a good night's
sleep, he wouldn't be temperamental anymore.
So her understanding was that when a man was frustrated, he would be temperamental. They had
been apart for some time, and it had been a while, perhaps he was truly distressed.
Firmly holding Vicki's wrists, Felix realized that it was impossible to continue without clarifying things.
She actually thought he wanted to sleep with her. What was she thinking? In her eyes, he was just a
creature ruled by his lower desires.
"Vicki! Is it only desire for me? What do you take me for? After losing Rayan, you sought physical
comfort?" he coldly questioned.
"Physical comfort?" Vicki was slightly taken aback.
"Isn't it? You said you liked Rayan. You admitted it this morning! You've been childhood friends with
himfor so many years. What do I have with you, apart from a physical relationship?" Felix's tone had
changed.
"I think I said I liked him, in the past," Vicki corrected him.
"Vicki, I love you! I love you!" Felix was on the verge of collapsing, consumed by jealousy. He was
damned jealous!
In the face of his confession, Vicki grew even more perplexed. "Oh, I know."
"So, what about you? Have you ever loved me?" Felix suddenly pulled Vicki close to him, holding her
tightly, fearing she might vanish. Finally, he asked, his heart trembling with fear. He was afraid her
answer would plunge him into a living hell.
Pressing close to Felix, feeling his wildly beating heart, she simply replied, "Why would I be with you if I
didn't love you? Am I that idle? I don't waste my time."
"Felix..." he faltered.
At first, he didn't react, but upon reflection, he realized that she had admitted to loving him.
"You didn't say it. You've never said it," Felix said, still bewildered. Although the answer was what he
wanted, he lacked confidence. Because Cloud had said that Vicki had never used the word "love" with
him, he had no faith.
"Why are you never done? If you ask directly, I will answer directly. You asked if I liked Rayan. I said I
liked him in the past. I don't want to lie; that's all in the past. There's no possibility between him and
me." Vicki pushed Felix back onto the bed, looming over him, "Xiao, if it weren't for your injury, I would
have had enough, and your indecisiveness. If I didn't love you, why would I let you sleep with me for so
many years? If I didn't love you, why would I be willing to have your child? If I didn't love you, why
would I risk my life to protect you? If I didn't love you, why would I bother with the Saunders family
mess for you? Why am I here if I didn't love you? Am I just here to put up with your nonsense?"
