My Husband, Warm The Bed

"Silvia, Vanessa's matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself anymore." Jayden pinched her cheeks and softened his tone. "You look haggard. If you continue this, the next person lying on the

hospital bed would be you."

Silvia muttered dejectedly, "I'm not that weak."

Jayden responded, "Silvia, don't forget that I'm also concerned about you when you're worried about others. You haven't eaten for a day." He pointed at the spot where his heart was. "My heart aches now... Fo you."

Silvia didn't want him to worry about her. "Alright, I won't do this again."

Jayden replied, "Let's go. We should return to look after the two children."

Silvia liked children. With them by her side, she might be able to stop blaming herself temporarily.

Silvia added, "Jayden, will Julien be all right?"

She had good reason to be concerned. Julien didn't utter a word aside from asking the doctor about Vanessa's condition for more than ten hours since Vanessa's rescue.

He just quietly sat by Vanessa's side, holding her hands tightly. He didn't let go even for a moment.

Julien had been a quiet and reserved person since he was a child. In some ways, Silvia had watched him grow up. She did not know much about him but knew that he was one to keep grievances to himself and console himself in silence.

Jayden responded, "Do you still remember that incident, more than three years ago?"

Silvia asked, "When Julien secluded himself from us for a whole year because he was heartbroken? And didn't want to see anyone?" Jayden nodded. "We all know how important Vanessa was to him a few years ago. Now that Vanessa is in such a dire state, Julien must have wanted to kill himself. He will blame himself for not being able to protect Vanessa."

Upon hearing this, Silvia's heart ached so much that she suddenly burst into tears. "Jayden, what should we do? Can I do anything to help them?"

"Silly girl, why are you crying again?" Jayden comforted her.

Silvia wiped her tears. "I'm worried about Julien, Vanessa and also Lawrie."

Jayden added, "Julien isn't as fragile as you think. Even if it's not for himself, he will be strong for Vanessa and Lawrie. Let's go home and keep Lawrie company."

Silvia turned her head and snatched a glimpse of Vanessa before she left the hospital with Jayden.

The night shrouded the world in pitch-black darkness.

Vanessa kept running aimlessly with no idea how long she had been running for. She was dead tired, but she couldn't stop. It seemed as though she would be attacked by an unknown force as long as she came to a halt.

"Vaness, Vaness..."

Occasionally, she would hear someone calling her name, but when she paused and tried to listen attentively, she couldn't decipher anything.

"Where am I? Where am I going? What am I doing?"

She kept asking herself, but she was oblivious to the answer, and there was no one around her to ask for help. She could only continue running, aimlessly. "Vaness, Vaness..."

She heard someone calling her from behind again. She stopped and turned around. This time she saw a person... It was her mother.

Emily was still as young and as gorgeous as Vanessa remembered. Emily looked at her with a smile. "My adorable little Vaness has finally grown into a charming lady." "Mommy..." Vanessa slowly approached her.. She paused after each step."Mommy, is it really you?"

Emily smiled and responded, "If it wasn't me, who else would it be? Is my presence unwelcomed?"

"No, no, no, no. I miss you so much. I miss you every day, but..." Vanessa recalled that her mother had long passed away. She had committed suicide.

When Vanessa was still a child, Emily had abandoned her and left this world. She had once loathed Emily for being so cruel.

She didn't understand Emily's actions before, but now she understood. Fiona not only snatched Emily's husband away but also used dirty tricks to destroy their marriage.

How could Emily allow herself to be humiliated when she was such a dignified person?

"Vaness, I have always been worried about you. I was afraid that you would be bullied. But now, you've found a man who loves you and protects you with everything he has. I won't worry anymore. I am going to leave..."

"Mommy... Don't go!" Vanessa rushed over and tried to grab her mother, but she failed. Suddenly, Emily vanished from her sight, as if she had never been there before. Vanessa was so flustered that she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mommy, mommy..."

"Vanessa, Vanessa..."

Her own voice was drowned by another worried voice, filled with anxiety...

Who was it?

Who was calling her?

Vanessa concentrated on the voice, but she couldn't decipher the speaker for a while...

"Vanessa, Vanessa..."

The heart-wrenching voice rang again. Vanessa's heart ached when she heard it. She tried her best to respond, but she was unable to utter a sound.

"Mommy, it's Lawrie here. Wake up! I want to talk to you. You can't leave me behind!"

This time, an adorable child's voice rang, and Vanessa's heart ached again. She struggled to open her eyes, and finally, she saw a glimmer of light, "Lawrie..."

She could tell that it was her precious son, Lawrie.

"Vanessa, you're awake."

She opened her eyes, but she did not see her son anywhere. What she saw was a disheveled figure and a haggard face which looked oddly familiar. There were dark circles under his eyes. "Vanessa..." Julien held Vanessa's hand tightly. He wanted to speak further, but he couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence. He could only hold her close, gripping her so tightly that Vanessa winced slightly. Vanessa blinked and then shook her head. She finally remembered the identity of the man in front of her. He was Julien...

However, how did Julien, who was a neat freak and always looked put together, become this way?

It seemed as if he had aged several years overnight.

"Julien, what happened to you?" Vanessa asked. Only then did Vanessa realize that her throat was so parched that it hurt. Julien handed her a glass of warm water right on time and replied, "Don't say anything. Have a glass of water first."

Vanessa noticed his hand shaking when he handed over the glass of water. What on earth happened to him that forced him into this state?

Vanessa couldn't figure it out, but she still reached out to take the glass. He put it near her mouth instead and said, "Let me help you."

Vanessa gently opened her mouth and took two small sips of water. The water provided immediate relief. She asked again, "What's wrong?"

Julien tried his best to restrain his emotions. "Drink a little more."

To not worry him, Vanessa opened her mouth and took two more sips. This time, Julien placed the cup back, took the quilt, and covered her. Hethen stared at her...

His hands were still shaking!

Why?

Vanessa looked at him in astonishment.

"What happened? Tell me."

Julien muttered in a low voice, "Vanessa..."

Vanessa reached out and clasped his trembling hand. She responded softly, "I'm here. I'm listening. Don't be afraid."

Although she was the one who was hurt, she remained strong and comforted him.

Julien felt truly blessed to have met her in his life.
