My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 2271

The warmth made one drowsy, and Dahlia finally succumbed to fatigue, her eyelids heavy as she drifted off to sleep.

When she awoke again, it was already evening.

Dahlia rubbed her eyes and yawned.

At that moment, a wedge of orange appeared before her.

She instinctively took the orange and popped it into her mouth.

"Mr. Hughes, you're here?"

However, when the bedside lamp was turned on, Dahlia realized it was Helio, who had woken up.

"I'm sorry, did I disturb your sleep?" Helio asked in a gentle tone.

As Dahlia's vision cleared and she truly saw Helio's face, her eyes blurred again.

It was... tears. A few drops fell onto the hospital bed.

Helio quickly reached for tissues and offered them to Dahlia.

"No, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disturb your sleep! Please don't cry!"

At that moment, Dahlia threw herself into Helio's arms. "I'm... I'm so glad... I'm so relieved you're alright."

Helio's lips curved into a smile. His eyes were moist. In the lamplight, they seemed to sparkle. "I'm sorry for worrying you."

Fabian stood outside the door, now aware that Helio was awake. Seeing the situation, he chose not to disturb them.

Inside the room, Dahlia cried heavily, her tears soaking a large patch of Helio's clothes.

Meanwhile, Helio stroked Dahlia's head, gently comforting her, "It's okay, don't cry. I'm fine, aren't I?"

Dahlia remained nestled in his embrace.
