We stayed at The Knight’s House, a very old hotel, and Eric booked two rooms for this hour. After
leaving our luggage in the room, Eric took me on a tour of Heidelberg.
He seemed to be particularly fond of Heidelberg, taking me to all the main buildings and streets. We
climb to the top of Heidelberg Palace and look out over the entire city. We then strolled along the River
Neckar and enjoyed the view at the bridgehead of the Old Bridge. Standing on the bridge, you could
see the pinnacle of the Church of the Holy Spirit.
In the end, he took me to the Church of the Holy Spirit. He was visibly much more reticent now; since
we arrived in Heidelberg he rarely spoke. When we entered the Church of the Holy Spirit, he stood in
the doorways in silence, looking at the church gates. His expression was a mask of stillness I’d never
seen before, tinged with a hint of sadness. I had never seen such an expression on him before, but for
some reason, sadness seeped into me
as well.
In the evening, Eric took me to a bar for a drink. This was the first time I’d seen him drink in the last two
days. He was a heavy drinker, polishing drink after drink. Jenny said he has gastritis because he had
too much to drink because of a woman. So I instinctively reached out to stop him from drinking more,
but he grabbed my hand instead and stared into my eyes. We were very close, so I could see that his
black eyes were filled with anguish.
He is very disheartened. I could tell he was heartbroken. After all, he had been playing the song ‘I Can’t
Change’ non-stop since we left for Heidelberg, although I had no idea why he was so
melancholy. Everyone has their own secrets. It doesn’t seem like he’s really his appearance, cold and
licentious. Rather, he is also a flesh-and-blood man who has feelings.
Eric was drunk, but very quiet, not rambling or struggling. He simply stared at me wordlessly, allowing
me to support him and lead him back to his room. His gaze looked extremely blank as he lay on the
bed in silence and watched as I helped him take off his shoes and dry his face. Then I opened his
luggage and found his gastritis medicine before pouring him a glass of water and helping him take his
medicine. After that, I helped him to lie down again. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Holding my hand, he lay motionless on the bed, saying nothing. I didn’t dare go back to my room and
leave him like that, so I sat in his room to watch over him. After looking at the ceiling for a long time, he
finally closed his eyes and fell asleep. I then wanted to withdraw my hand, but he opened his eyes
abruptly and again stared at me, so I had no choice but to sit there quietly.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Eric once again closed his eyes and dozed off. This time,
however, I didn’t dare move, I just sat on the side of the bed and watched his sleeping face. He looks
really harmless in his sleep. Staring dazedly into his incredibly seductive face, my thoughts came to a
screech. Later, I too succumbed to bedside sleep.
My sleep was extremely uncomfortable as half of my arm was numb and sore. When I woke up, it was
already dawn. Eric was still asleep, so I gently moved my arm, only to see his eyes pop open
instantly. Upon seeing me, he was stunned for a moment. ‘Why are you here?’
