Chapter 115
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 115<\/p>\n
Lawrence wasn’t going anywhere, not now. He pulled the blanket up to cover Bonnie and, without letting go of her, reached for his phone.<\/p>\n
Bonnie couldn\u2019t move. Pain wracked her body, and the weight of everything was crushing her. All she could feel was hopelessness, endless and deep. It was like she\u2019d been lost at sea for ages, trying to swim her way out, but always stranded at the world\u2019s loneliest point, farther from shore than anyone else on earth.<\/p>\n
She shut her eyes, letting the tears fall.<\/p>\n
Lawrence finished talking to Parrish, telling him to hurry over with a doctor. When he turned back, he saw Bonnie crying.<\/p>\n
She didn’t make a sound. Not a word.<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s heart felt torn to pieces. He bent over and pulled Bonnie into his arms, his mouth close to her ear. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Candie. I should have taken better care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the wind on the mountain had picked up, and he\u2019d felt chilly even with his jacket. Bonnie probably caught cold, and on top of that, he\u2019d upset her so much. No wonder she\u2019d ended up like this.<\/p>\n
He hugged her tighter, his hand gently searching for her lower stomach under the blanket, offering a soft, soothing touch. \u201cIs it your period? I can make you some warm ginger milk with dates. Would you like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie\u2019s vision turned fuzzy with tears. It was hard to tell if it was day or night. For a second, it almost felt like she and Lawrence were still together.<\/p>\n
Whenever she had cramps, he would always make her ginger date milk, rub her stomach, and just hold her, running his lips through her hair again and again.<\/p>\n
Bonnie felt like she was about to shatter completely. She tried to tell Lawrence to leave, her voice raw and worn out, but her words got lost in her crying. The sound of it was ragged and full of misery, and it felt like every tear left a scar on Lawrence\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n
Lawrence kept her close, barely able to swallow past the tightness in his throat. \u201cOnce you\u2019re better, I\u2019ll go, I promise. But while you\u2019re like this, Candie, I just can\u2019t leave you alone. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence ran his fingers lightly over her left ear and whispered, \u201cShe\u2019s got hearing loss here, from an old injury. Could the fever make it worse or cause other problems?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPartial hearing loss? What caused it? The risks depend on how it happened,\u201d the doctor replied.<\/p>\n
Lawrence gave him the basics. The doctor listened and took a closer look. \u201cA regular blow wouldn\u2019t do this. It\u2019d have to be really hard to cause hearing loss. Either way, watch for complications and get her checked at a hospital. Viral infections can easily make things worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
A trace of doubt crossed Lawrence\u2019s face, but he didn\u2019t push it now. He asked Abbot to walk the doctor out and to heat up the food from next door.<\/p>\n
When he looked down, Bonnie\u2019s eyes had cracked open. They were foggy and confused, searching for something\u2014maybe an answer, maybe just a bit of comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-783","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
