Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

hapter 54

When Thea woke up again, the sunlight outside was bright, shining warmly through the cracks onto her body.

It was so beautiful. Thea almost thought she had reached heaven. Then she tried to move but found she had no strength. 'Am I dead she wondered.

For a moment, someone opened the door. A few people in white lab coats came in and checked her condition.

The real sensation of touch told Thea she wasn't dead, nor was this a dream. Everything was real.

Thea spoke, her voice hoarse. "Can you tell me, who saved me?"

No one answered her. The doctors just glanced at her before walking out of the room

Thea wanted to say something more, but another wave of dizziness hit, and she drifted back to sleep-

The next time Thea woke up, it was the middle of the night. Her body felt much better.

Thea got out of bed carefully, her bare feet touching the cold floor. Looking around at the familiar surroundings, she finally realized where she was

This was Nicolas house. So, in the end, it was Nicolas who had saved her. Her feelings were a mix of relief and uncertainty

Before she knew it, Thea had wandered out of the room. The living room

"Look at her, even in that state, still trying to save Jake. I wonder how he'd react if he saw this."

There were plenty of comments under the video, some pitying Thea for her devotion, but most ridiculing her for being so obsessed with love.

Thea picked up her phone and glanced at it. The video had already hit the trending list.

Even though part of her knew that Nicolas probably didn't care about this kind of thing, Thea couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety when she saw his grim expression.

Noticing her presence, Nicolas lifted his head slightly, his cold eyes sweeping over her. Then he waved her over. "Come here"

The bat her lip and walked toward him obediently. Before Thea could sit down, Nicolas grabbed her wrist and, with a tug. pulled her onto his lap

Thea's body went rigid instantly, her breathing quickening. "Mr. Hendrix, what are you doing?"

Nicolas tightened his grip on her hand, forcing her to meet his gaze. Despite the intimate position, there wasn't a trace of

warmth in his eyes. Ilis-voice was cold and hard. "Still have feelings for Jake?
