Fated love: the unwanted bride

Chapter 660: Chapter 660: The Shadow from Over Twenty Years Ago

“Yolanda, Yolanda…” Chris Fern’s gentle voice resonated in her ear.

He noticed something was terribly wrong with Yolanda beneath him, his face filled with anxiety.

He reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.

As the light switched on, as expected, Yolanda’s face was pale, her eyes hollow and devoid of energy, unfocused.

“Yolanda.”

Chris Fern dared not to make any movement, he gently lifted her up, holding her in his arms.

“Chris…” Yolanda cried, holding onto his waist.

Mentions from over twenty years ago flashed in her mind. However, she didn’t dare to think any further.

In extreme pain, even her breaths felt cold.

She leant into Chris Fern’s arms in fear.

The shadows of the past still lingered in her mind, impossible to forget.

Back then, she had nobody, not Chris Fern, nor anyone else. All she had was endless darkness and pain she can never forget.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Chris Fern helped her into her nightdress.

“Chris, I’m sorry…”

“Yolanda, don’t say such silly things. If you’re willing to stay by my side, I don’t care about anything else.”

“Chris…” Yolanda cried bitterly.

Her tears soaked Chris’ chest and her nightdress.

The haunting memories tormented her, making it impossible for her to forget.

“Yolanda, it’s getting late, should we get some sleep? I’ll be here with you, from now on, I’ll accompany you every night.”

“Chris, I want to return to London.”

“Okay, okay… I’ll make the arrangements as soon as possible, just wait a bit longer, okay?”

Chris Fern was slightly helpless. He wasn’t sure how to console her, all he knew was to treat her well.

However, being merely good to her wasn’t enough. He didn’t know exactly what he could do to reassure her.

His eyes bore traces of anxiousness and shards of shattered light.

He wanted to treat her even better.

In his heart, she was like a precious and delicate piece of porcelain, easily broken if not handled with care.

Others might not value her, but he wished to hold her gently in his palms and love her dearly.

“Chris, can you give me two sleeping pills? I want to sleep.” Yolanda’s voice was filled with pleading and helplessness.

Chris Fern felt even more helpless.

He was a doctor and he was aware that she had been relying on sleeping pills daily, which would certainly cause significant harm to her body in the long run.

However, he felt powerless and didn’t know what to do about it.

“Chris, give me the sleeping pills, I want to sleep…”

Yolanda’s small soft hands were holding onto his waist, her eyes held an expectant look and traces of longing, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

“I’ll go get them for you.”

Chris Fern put on an overcoat, stood up, and moved to leave the room.

He was the one who kept her medicine. She hadn’t taken her sleeping pill tonight, so he thought that she must have been feeling better today.

But now…

Chris Fern let out an exhausted sigh.

When he returned with the sleeping pills, Yolanda was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, her head hung low, eyes empty.

“Here, Yolanda, take the pill.”

Yolanda took the sleeping pills from his hand and swallowed them.

Her head was throbbing and it felt as if her heart was being squeezed, she couldn’t breathe properly.

“Chris, stay with me, I’m afraid of nightmares.”

“I’ll stay with you, don’t be scared. I’m here with you. I will accompany you every night from now on, okay?”

“Okay…”

Finally, Chris Fern was able to soothe Yolanda. She hid into his arms like a small child, reliant on him.

He held her until her breathing stabilized and she drifted into a peaceful sleep, only then did he feel relieved and switched off the bed lamp.

Throughout the night, he held her tightly never leaving her side.

The rain was still falling outside the window, the drops hitting the banana leaves in the courtyard, creating loud noises.

The long night was quiet.
