Chapter 493 A Kiss
As William became more and more agitated, Ava remembered what the doctors had said, "William, please don't do this. I beg you."
"No, Ava, I can't allow you to be harmed in any way. I must remember what happened."
However, every time he tried to recall, he was overwhelmed by a splitting headache.
"William." Ava hugged him, holding him close, her delicate hands caressing his face. "It's okay. Don't think about it. Your health is of paramount importance now. It's never too late to consider about it once you've fully recovered. There are so many bodyguards outside the door protecting us. I'll be fine. You've just woken up after much difficulty. What if something else happens? What should I do then? For my sake, please don’t dwell on this any further, all right?
Her warmth gradually calmed his agitation. Nestled in her embrace, he became as docile as a kitten, slowly closing his eyes.
A wave of fatigue washed over him as he wrapped his arms around Ava's waist, affectionately holding her close.
Ava frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to break free. However, considering his current state, she did nothing and just held him quietly.
William finally calmed down, and his headache disappeared.
"Darling," William suddenly addressed her with this endearment.
Ava paused, lowering her head to look at him, surprised that he would call her "darling".
The term seemed unfamiliar to Ava, considering her fake marriage with William. Now that William sincerely saw her as his beloved in his current condition, she found herself obliged to go along with it.
She would clarify things with him after he recovered.
For now, she could only go along with him.
Not getting a response from Ava, William lifted his head and called her again, "Darling?"
Ava forced a smile, lowered her head, and nodded gently. "What's up?"
William, nestled in her arms like a child, anxiously asked, "I have changed so much now, forgetting many things. Will you still accept me?"
Ava was amused by him, feeling both worried and amusement. She gently pinched his nose. "Why are you acting like a child? How could I not accept you? You're still you."
"I've forgotten many things, even our story together. I'm afraid one day you'll hate me."
William's voice sounded a bit sad, resembling a child lacking security.
Ava gently said, "No, William, in this world, no matter who I dislike, it won't be you. It's okay if you forget our story. We have plenty of time to create new stories."
Since their past had both good and bad moments, forgetting was actually a good thing. He would forget the unhappy times.
"Will you be by my side forever, creating stories together?" William lifted his gaze towards her, his eyes shimmering.
The promise that she will be by his side forever was truly daunting. Ava was unsure how to guarantee it. However, given William's current state, she couldn't tell him the truth.
Soon, Ava said, "William, I will be by your side forever."
Even after she told William the truth when he recovered, that they were fake married, William and she would still be good friends. Of course, she would be by his side.
Finally, William smiled contentedly, "Thank you."
His large hand gently cupped the back of Ava's head, tilting it down ever so slightly, planting a soft kiss upon her lips, swiftly withdrawing and resting against her tender bosom.
