Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 542

Gideon entered Giselle's room and turned on the light. His heart sank when he saw Giselle sprawled on the bed, with her legs stiff and fists tightly clenched. Foam spilled from her mouth, her eyes rolled back, and her entire body shook violently.

The sight froze Gideon in place. He rushed to her side and carefully rolled her onto her side to prevent her from biting her tongue. Gideon felt his heart shatter as he watched her convulse helplessly.

After five agonizing minutes, the convulsions finally subsided, and Giselle fell into a deep sleep.

Gideon had witnessed her episodes many times before, yet each one still sent him into a panic and left his heart aching. He grabbed a towel and carefully wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. Then he straightened her body, pulled the blanket over her, and with trembling hands, brushed his fingers against her cheek. Even as he watched her sleep, his heart refused to calm.

Half an hour later, Giselle slowly regained consciousness. The moment her eyes fluttered open, Gideon let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you feel any discomfort? Want some water? Are you hungry?" he asked softly.

Giselle's head was dizzy, and her body felt unbearably weak, as if she had been pulled apart and stitched back together. Her vision blurred, and even the effort to sit up left her trembling.

"Did I have another seizure?" she asked.

From the way she felt when she woke up and the anxious look on Gideon's face, she already knew what had happened, even though she couldn't remember anything.

During the first few months after she woke up, her seizures were relentless—sometimes happening several times a day. After she underwent surgery, things slowly began to improve. Still, the electrical storms in her brain never truly ceased, and no one could predict when the next episode would come.

During a seizure, she lost all consciousness, and afterward she would fall into deep sleep. Each episode also caused irreversible damage to her brain.

The doctors had developed a treatment plan that required her to take medication every day. As long as she followed the schedule carefully and maintained a proper diet and routine, her condition could stay under control.

For nearly three months, she had been free of seizures. She truly believed the illness was behind her and had almost forgotten it existed. Then, without the slightest sign or warning, the convulsions returned that night.
