Selma Payne's POV:
I didn't know what I had done, but by the time I reacted, I had already pounced on Aldrich's bed and tightly hugged him.
The surveillance device that was forcefully removed issued an urgent alarm, and the tiny wound left by the needle on my hand healed in an instant. However, I couldn't feel any noise or pain. Only this person in front of me could take away all my attention. His breathing, heartbeat, warm body temperature, and eyes were as deep as the night sky.
"Aldrich, Aldrich..."
I hugged him tightly and unknowingly started to cry.
Aldrich hugged me back. His arms were no longer as strong and powerful as before, and even a simple action like raising his hands made his muscles tremble.
But all of this was so fortunate in my eyes. Everything was real, and I was not dreaming.
