Chapter 50 second quarter

Beth looked pale, with sunken eyes, and her otherwise thick golden-brown hair was matted and dull. But here and now, Decker thought she had never looked so beautiful. After the doctor left, Decker closed the door, and the noise in the corridor suddenly died down a lot.He stared at Beth for a long time, a lump in his throat.He went to the bed, took Beth's free hand, bent down, and kissed her. "How do you feel?" He was careful not to touch the IV line in Beth's left arm. Beth shrugged feebly.Apparently, the sedative had worked on her. "The doctor says you're doing well," Decker said.

Beth moved her lips and said something, but Decker couldn't catch her. Beth tried to speak again.She licked her dry lips, then pointed to the plastic cup full of water.There is a bent straw in the plastic cup.Decker put the straw between Beth's lips.She sucks. "Are you all right?" she asked in a hoarse whisper. "I was terrified too." "Yes." Beth said with difficulty. "Are your shoulders better?" "It hurts when you touch it." She couldn't lift her eyelids. "I think it must hurt." "I don't want to imagine what the pain will be like after the painkillers wear off." Beth flinched.She squeezed Decker's hand hard, but after a while her hand lost strength.She didn't even have the energy to open her eyes. "Thank you."

"I will never let you be harmed again." "I know," Beth said. "I love you." Decker barely heard her next sentence. "who is it……?" Decker thought she was going to ask that question, and he added, "Who are they? I don't know." His mouth seemed to be swallowing ashes.There was only one thought in his mind, and that was that the woman he loved with all his heart would never be lying in the hospital if it weren't for him. "But trust me, I'll try to figure it out." Beth didn't hear him.Her dark circled eyes slowly closed, and she gradually fell asleep.
