My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 3823

Chapter 3823 

Seeing that Mason seemed to really want to lie down, Veronica quickly walked to his bedside and helped him up by the waist. 

Her purpose was to not let him lie down like that, because she hadn’t finished talking yet! 

But this action added a hint of ambiguity between the two. 

“What are you doing?” he glanced at her lightly. 

“I…I haven’t finished talking. I want to finish talking with you,” 

Veronica said. 

Mason pursed his lips. “Okay, you can speak.” 

Veronica saw that he didn’t ask her to let go of his hand, so she simply let her hand continue to rest against his waist. 

Being close to him again, it felt like they were back to the past, with no misunderstandings, no conflicts, and no separation.

God knows how much courage it took for her to say these words. 

She was afraid of being rejected, afraid that it was all in her head, afraid of expecting too much and ending up disappointed. 

He frowned, “What did you say?” 

“I said I love you. If you love me too, I hope we can be together again,” Veronica said. 

He remained silent, and in the quiet hospital room, every minute seemed particularly long. 

He said nothing, just looked at her, and she almost held her breath waiting for his answer.
