In Bamboo Garden, it was late at night.
After Edward returned in the morning, he slept for the entire day. Even at midnight, he was still asleep.
In the beginning, Jeanne could stay by his side calmly and wait for him to wake up. However, she had slept and woken up countless times by now, but the person beside her had not woken up yet.
Jeanne crawled from one side of the bed to the other. Through the dim yellow light, she saw him sleeping soundly.
Was he in deep sleep or…
With her lips pursed, Jeanne stretched out her hand and placed it near Edward's nose. She even wondered whether he might have fallen asleep and would never wake up again.
She felt his breathing quietly with her fingers, and it seemed like he was still breathing. However, she still seemed worried, so she rested her head on Edward's chest, listening to his heartbeat and feeling if it was still as strong as before.
