Chapter 127

• The next morning, Lily stirred awake, her eyes fluttering open to a room she didn’t recognize. As her gaze settled on the surroundings, she realized it was a hospital room. Turning her head, she spotted Ethan lying beside her, his face serene and unguarded in sleep.
• The soft rays of sunlight filtered through the window, casting a golden glow on his features. It accentuated his already striking face, making him look even more handsome than usual. Her eyes lingered on him, drawn to her favorite feature—his captivating eyes. Though closed now, she knew how easily they could draw someone in, mysterious yet magnetic, framed by long, dark lashes that stood out like a masterpiece.
• Shifting slightly, she propped herself up on one elbow and leaned closer to place a gentle kiss on his cheek. But just as her lips brushed against him, Ethan turned his face, causing her kiss to land squarely on his lips.
