C132 One of My Rules Is That I Don't Sleep.

After dealing with Viola, Reece turned around and returned to the hospital.

However, not long after he left, he felt dizzy again. His legs started to wobble as he lost his balance.

"I'm dizzy again?" Loran, who had caught up to him, looked worried. "Sixth Brother, let's go see the doctor. I feel better now."

"It's nothing. I just didn't get enough rest. I'll just rest in the ward next time."

Ever since he heard that something had happened to Lydia, Reece had not closed his eyes for a full thirty-six hours.

In addition, he had been searching the mountain for a long time, so his physical strength was nearing its limit.

Loran frowned. "Alright, I'll help you up."

"It's not a problem." Reece patted the boy in front of him. "You've been tired for the whole day. Go back and rest early."

"But..."

"Go back!"

Loran was still worried, but he was interrupted by Reece's order.

Although he was extremely worried, he could only say, "Sixth Brother, go back and rest immediately."

"Alright."

Reece smiled as he sent Loran off. Then, he went back to the ward.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the girl on the bed chatting with someone else. He didn't know what they were talking about, but the corner of her mouth was unconsciously raised, revealing a brilliant smile.

It had been a long time since he last saw her so happy. Reece couldn't bear to disturb her, so he sat by the side.

"Lydia, how is it going with that Shen Lengxue?" Sara asked curiously, not noticing that the man was staring at her. "Don't tell me he still can't forget Maria?"

Lydia was speechless.

Reece was speechless.

"Why, this fool really didn't forget about Maria." In Sara's eyes, her lack of response was a silent acknowledgement. She could not help but feel unjust for Lydia.

Lydia was sweating.

Reece was speechless. Idiot.

Lydia glanced at the man on the other side of the screen and signaled to her friends on the screen to stop talking.

Seeing her appearance, Sara could not help but scratch her head, "Lydia, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with your face?"

"Ahem... No."

"Then what are you doing with your mouth and eyes?"

"..."

"She's tired." Suddenly, the man's voice came from the phone. It was a bit hoarse, but it carried an indescribable charm.

Although they had not seen each other for many years, Sara could tell who the owner of the melody was. It was her good friend, the man who loved her to the point of dying, Reece.

This...

When did he come in? Did he hear everything she said just now?

Sara panicked and dropped her phone on the ground. The screen shattered into pieces.

At this moment, she didn't have the time to care about her phone. She bit her finger awkwardly.

It turned out that the twitching of the corner of Lydia's mouth was a reminder that she should stop talking. She was so stupid that she completely did not understand. She was caught red-handed for saying bad things.

It was a little awkward... Hehe.

"Sara, let's just leave it at that for now. We'll contact each other when we have time." In order to ease the awkwardness of their friendship, Lydia spoke up at the right time.

After the call ended, the girl glanced indifferently at the man beside her. "Grandfather is back?"

"Yes."

Lydia nodded. "Oh." She lowered her head and played with her phone, ignoring the man.

She had been exposed in her act of pretending to be asleep. She didn't plan to use this trick again.

She would just continue to treat him coldly.

As time passed, he would realize that she was determined and would give up.

As she lowered her head and stared at the screen, she noticed that the bed beside her had caved in.

Lydia glanced over and saw that Reece was leaning on the bed and was about to lie down beside her.

The girl quickly raised her hand to stop him from getting closer. "What are you doing?!"

"Sleep."

"Sleep... Sleep in your house. Why are you snatching my bed? Go down, go down." Hearing that, Lydia's face turned ashen. She raised her hand in an unhappy manner and pushed the man who was trying to lie down.

However, her hand was grabbed by the man. "Lydia, I haven't closed my eyes for 36 hours. I'm really tired. I'm afraid I won't be able to get home."

36 hours?

Only then did Lydia realize that this man had not rested for even a moment after saving her.

Perhaps it was because he had not rested for too long. At this moment, Reece looked tired. His deep black eyes were bloodshot.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Reece had already laid down and closed his eyes to rest.

Lydia frowned. "Hey, you, I..."

She had been talking to him for a long time, but he didn't even say another word.

After all, he was so tired because he had saved her. He should just rest for a while.

She got up and went to sit on the chair.

Just as she was about to move, she felt a sharp pain at her waist. Her entire back was covered in sweat and she froze on the spot.

"Don't move, or the doctor will say that you won't be able to heal your bruises for at least half a month. It's a small matter to heal your bruises, but it will affect your investigation of your father's accident."

Although she didn't want to accept her fate, Reece's words had hit her in the gut.

She naturally didn't want to delay her investigation because of her own willfulness.

After thinking about it for a long time, she obediently lay back down.

When he heard the girl lay back down on the bed, Reece's mouth curled into an imperceptible smile.

He relaxed his eyebrows and put away all his worries. He fell asleep.

Lying on the bed, she felt a little uncomfortable.

However, when she heard that Reece's breathing had become heavier, the uneasiness in her heart slowly dissipated.

After watching a few short videos and reading a few dozens of novels for three hours, the man beside her still had not woken up. Lydia yawned and closed her eyes.

When the girl's breathing became heavier, Reece's eyes slightly opened.

He swept his gaze across the girl's charming eyes and landed on her pink lips. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Perhaps he was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't stay for too long before letting go.

The love in his eyes could not be hidden from the girl's delicate face.

He slowly moved his arm through the girl's neck and pulled her into his embrace. He smiled and closed his eyes again before falling asleep again.

...

In the evening.

When Lydia opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the man's handsome face.

She was startled and suddenly woke up. She didn't know when she had actually run into the man's arms. At this moment, she was not only sleeping on his arm, but his hand was also resting on her waist.

This, this...

With everything in front of her, she pushed him away angrily with her hand on his chest. "Reece!"

"What's wrong?" The man was confused by her anger.

"You, you, I... Why did I hug you?" She clearly remembered that they had slept separately when they were asleep.

Reece said with a straight face, "The Tillman family is very strict."

"?"

"I'm a very disciplined person when it comes to sleeping." After saying that, the man's meaningful gaze fell on her. "As for you..."

Although Reece did not say the second half of the sentence, Lydia understood his meaning.

He was ridiculing her for being unruly when it came to sleeping.

Ever since she was a child, her parents doted on her sleeping habits. She remembered that when they had just gotten married, Reece had been forced to sleep with her in the same bed. Even though there was a blanket between them, she would still lie on his side every morning.

"..." Could it be that this time, she was also like before, ignoring her image and entering his arms?

Then, it would be awkward.

Lydia bit her lips, her face flushed red. "I... I'm sorry, I fell asleep too fast."

"It's alright." Reece said with a magnanimous expression, but the corner of his mouth was raised in a dark manner the moment he turned around.
