Chapter 38 My Wife Awakens

• Amelia had an overwhelming urge to caution Asher against being excessively kind to her. She feared that his kindness might give her false hope, causing her to desire more than what was meant to be. It was like a person desperately thirsty in the desert, who, after tasting a single drop of water, yearns for it to quench their eternal thirst...
• However, she didn't dare voice these thoughts. She lacked the courage to express such vulnerabilities, especially in front of Asher.
• Upon returning to East Haven Bay with him, Amelia, exhausted from the day's events, indulged in a soothing bath before retiring to bed. Sometime later, in a state between sleep and wakefulness, she was startled by a noise from outside.
