He gazed at her for a while and patiently waited for her to face him again, but Lilian remained silent and didn't look at him. The ward was completely silent and Allen gently took her hand on her thigh in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"I know you're starting to consider giving me a chance, Lilian," his husky voice resounded, "Or maybe you're already falling for me. Please, confess your feelings so I can know there's someone out there who cares for me. I've loved you ever since the day you slapped me in my office when you found out who I was.
I can't stop thinking about you, which is why I urged you to stay away from Aiden and other men. I want you to be mine… alone. I love you. I don't think I've ever said those words to another woman, but I'm certain of my feelings for you. Please, love me too, Lilian," Allen pleaded earnestly.
Tears streamed down Lilian's cheeks.
