Chapter 1458

Once everything was settled, Colby made his way back to Sophie, effortlessly scooping her up from the couch

like he'd been doing for the past month.

Sophie, who had hardly needed to walk on her own, teased him with a playful grin, "Colby, if you keep

pamperinglike this, my arms might still work, but my legs are going to stop cooperating." "Doesn't matter to

me," Colby replied with a genuine smile. "I could carry you forever." His strength was impressive, and even in his

later years, he'd probably still be lifting weights like it was nothing. Sophie was light as a feather, making it easy

for Colby to lift her without breaking a sweat.

Back in their cozy room, Colby gently laid Sophie down on the bed. The dim light cast soft shadows as he settled

beside her.

Sophie looked over at him, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You always watch overwhen I'm asleep. This

time, letbe the one watching over you."

"Alright," Colby agreed, holding her hand and placing it over his heart, as if drawing comfort from the touch.

Sophie let him be, soon hearing the steady rhythm of his breaths. Colby was a light sleeper; even the faintest

sound could wake him.

Not wanting to disturb him, Sophie watched him quietly, tracing the strong lines of his face with her eyes-his

prominent nose, thin lips, the slight rise of his Adam's apple, and his elegant collarbones. Suddenly, Colby

murmured, "How am | supposed to sleep with you staring atlike that?"

Caught in the act, Sophie quickly averted her gaze, laughing softly. "I just woke up; I'm not really sleepy yet. Just,

you know, taking in the view."

Noticing her rosy cheeks, Colby squeezed her hand a little tighter. "William said your injury's nearly healed."

His words made Sophie blush even more. "It's not healed yet!"

"Did you skip the meds this morning?"

Realizing what he meant, Sophie asked, "You're talking about the medicine?"

She had thought... well, never mind.

"I'll grab the first-aid kit," Colby said, already on his feet and heading to the bedroom.

Sophie leaned back against the bed, watching him bustle around. Shez couldn't help but think about the past

month-Colby diligently tending to her wounds, morning and night.

A wound that should've taken two months to heal was almost better, thanks to his care.

Colby returned with the kit, expertly unwrapping the bandages to reveal her still-healing wounds, stark against

her pale skin.

"I won't look good in dresses anymore," Sophie sighed.

Colby met her eyes, "Once it's

healed, | find the best doctor for scar removal. You'll be rocking those beautiful dresses again in no time."

"It's too deep; it'll never heal right. I'll be ugly, and you won't loveanymore."

Colby paused, her words meant as a joke but striking him deeply. Leaning close, he pressed a tender kiss to her

injured shoulder.

"| love you no matter what. Whether

you're beautiful or not, sick or

healthy, young or old. I, Colby, always love Sophie, until my last breath."
