Cecilia was startled by Christopher’s action and didn’t hear him. at all.
Her ears were flushed because of his kiss, and her body temperature rose rapidly.
She just had a shower but she began to sweat again. Her palms
were wet.
She wanted to get up, but Christopher held her even tighter. She had to use her feet to make a small
opening between the hospital blanket to release some heat.
Christopher looked at her uncomfortable face and loosened his grip a little.
Cecilia was so innocent. It seemed like he needed to take it
slow.
He started to talk about business, distracting Cecilia.
“Ceci, do you want to just get Joel’s appeal over with?”
‘Didn’t Juliana care about her reputation?
Then, he would strip off her disguise and sentence her publicly!’ she thought.
Cecilia nodded. “Yes.”
She knew that Joel couldn’t succeed in the appeal.
No matter how Juliana pushed him, it was he who did the bad things. She had nothing to do with it.
However, the appeal would show everyone how hypocritical Juliana was.
“When are you going to do it?”
“After Juliana makes a move on Joel.”
Cecilia deliberately told Juliana about the appeal, trying to lure

her into taking action.
It was impossible for a person who cared so much about reputation to let Joel tell the truth.
Seeing that Cecilia had her own plan, Christopher gave up.
He buried his head in Cecilia’s neck, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and said softly, “Go to
sleep.”
Cecilia’s body tensed up instantly. She only slowly relaxed when she heard his stable breathing.
Out of her sight, the corners of Christopher’s mouth lifted into a smile.
After a while, he fell asleep.
Cecilia was not sleepy.
The quiet environment made her senses extraordinarily sensitive.
Christopher’s breath, heartbeat, and body temperature were all very obvious to her.
She found that she didn’t hate this feeling, and instead, she even liked it a little.
It seemed that she had to go to Acocester early and ask Samuel for help.
Except for the Shaw family, no one knew that she had a serious. empathy disorder because of her
childhood experience.
At that time, she refused to communicate with others and lived in her own world. She was hostile to
everyone close to her.
This was because killers would only trust themselves.
It was the Shaw family who gave her love and patience that changed her mind.
She started to have her morals and values, leading her to slowly become reasonable.
After psychotherapy, she began to believe in people other than

the Shaw family.
However, the betrayal three years ago gave her a fatal blow. The trust in others that she had finally built
up collapsed.
Since then, she had put up a wall to protect herself. Even psychologists couldn’t do anything about it.
The Yancey family happened to find her. Thinking that family therapy might be useful, Elaine asked her
to go back to the Yancey family.
Thinking that blood was thicker than water, Cecilia came back to the Yancey family with expectation
and showed her sincerity. Unfortunately, everything was in vain.
Thinking of this, she slowly turned around and looked at Christopher who was asleep.
His eyelashes were long; his facial features were handsome, and the reddish mole at the corner of his
eye was se*y and charming.
She asked in her heart, “Christopher, if I trust you completely, will you be able to handle it?”
Christopher, who was sleeping lightly, woke up when Cecilia turned around.
He didn’t know what Cecilia was going to do, so he pretended to sleep.
He didn’t open his eyes until he felt her fingertips and intense
gaze.

Cecilia was startled by Christopher who suddenly woke up.
She was like a child who had been caught doing bad things and immediately withdrew her hand guiltily.
Christopher quickly held her hand.
Christopher asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t think he was that handsome for Cecilia to be

obsessed with.
Cecilia hesitated for a moment and asked bluntly, “Christopher, can I trust you?”
Christopher thought of the tragic accident three years ago.
He looked at Cecilia seriously and nodded.
“Ceci, it’s up to you whether you want to trust me or not. What C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
I can guarantee is that I will never lie to you.”
Cecilia smiled when she looked at his deep gaze.
“I trust you,” she blurted out.
These simple words made Christopher’s eyes light up.
He kissed Cecilia on the forehead and asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”
Cecilia moved her lips, but she didn’t make a sound.
“Ceci, don’t force yourself. You can tell me whenever you’re ready.”
Then, he covered Cecilia’s eyes and said, “Go to sleep.”
When Christopher’s hand fell, Cecilia closed her eyes.
The warmth of his palm felt comfortable on her thin eyelids. She blinked, and her eyelashes gently
swept Christopher’s palm.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Christopher’s se*y Adam’s apple rolled. He wanted to stop Cecilia, but she spoke up first.
“Christopher, I have a serious empathy disorder. It’s hard for me to trust someone, but I want to try to
trust you.”
After saying that, she took his hand away and looked straight into his shocked eyes.
“Can I trust you?”
She asked again in a more serious tone.

Christopher looked at Cecilia’s eyes and said, “Time will give you the answer to your question.”
If Cecilia asked him such a question, it meant she didn’t believe him fully yet.
Even if he gave her a positive answer, she couldn’t rest assured. It was better to do more and win her
complete trust.
“Okay, I’ll wait.”
Cecilia found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to

This time, she fell asleep faster than Christopher.
Christopher looked at Cecilia’s face and said in his heart, “Ceci, you can trust me anytime and
anywhere.”
Then, he closed his eyes and took a rest.
After Jackson left the hospital, he started his livestream directly in the car.
“In five minutes, the livestream will officially start. I hope those who are here can invite more people to
watch. I have a surprise for you guys.”
He was handsome and came from a rich family. He also used to be the best racer in the country with
many fans.
However, the recent scandals caused his fans to decrease.
After removing the zombie accounts, there were less than 20,000 followers, with many of them being
anti-fans.
Because he was popular recently, there were always people watching him.
As soon as the livestream started, the number of viewers soared, more than the peak number of his
fans.
There was a lot of cursing in the comment area.
Some fans wrote: (Damn your surprise! A sc*m like you should go to hell!!
The others wrote: [Hurry up and take your life in the livestream. I’ll give you a huge gift here!)
Another one wrote: I’ve been a fan of this soum for many years. Now I just want to puke!]
Another viewer commented: [Jerk, you aren’t going to coold w for slandering you, right? Don’t
embarrass us, man. Get out of here!]
Jackson looked at the comments scolding him and smiled mockingly.
No one had ever thought that he, who used to be at the peak of his success, would end up this way.
If it had been in the past, he would have retorted grumpily. However, after losing to Cecilia, and losing
his ego and pride, he moved on.
It was inevitable to pay back to the society one day.
If he did something wrong, he should bear the consequences and pay the price.
Only in this way would he feel at ease.
Just as he was about to reply that they were right, he received a personal message from Sophia.
