Chapter 1048 No Regrets

• Thanks to her not drinking too much of the water, Alicia snapped out of the drug's effect before anyone else could. She woke up with a splitting headache. It was as if she was wearing a helmet with a thousand needles piercing it. Every inch of her skin felt like they were pressed against a wall of needles. She lay on her bed like a piece of meat. She held her forehead and flung her arm away. Then, she felt herself touching a pair of hands.
• Her eyes went wide with shock, and reality sank in. That… That was not a dream. It was reality. Regret filled her heart. How could I do that? That was foolish. She quickly composed herself and looked at the man beside her.
• The room was dark, illuminated by nothing but the moonlight. She could vaguely see the man's outlines, yet they were so familiar. Alicia slowly recalled the madness that just happened a while earlier. She knew she shouldn't do it, but she still hoped it was him. With anticipation in her heart, she turned the bedroom's night lamp on.
