Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 571

Giselle's breathing quickened at Donovan's words. Her eyes burned with an ache she couldn't explain. She tried to push his hand away but couldn't.

At first, she had assumed he'd found her with the help of information from the police. She never imagined he had come here guided only by instinct and faith.

Donovan gazed deeply into her eyes and said, "After everything we've been through, don't you still understand me? As long as you stay by my side and stop fighting me, I can give you anything you want, but you just won't listen. You keep testing my limits."

He paused briefly before continuing, "But from now on, I'm changing those limits. You can do whatever you want in my world. After a year of torment, I finally understand that you're the one woman I can never go against. As long as you still want me, even if it's just out of pity, I'll let you live however you want. Is that alright?"

Hearing his humble, almost pleading words, Giselle's fragile defenses began to waver.

However, the flicker in her eyes dimmed just as quickly as it had appeared.

"You know the state my body's in," she said bitterly, averting her gaze. "Back then, I could still be arrogant enough to say I'd use you. Now, I don't even have the strength or the means to do that. I admit defeat. From now on, let's stay out of each other's lives."

Only then did Donovan understand what she truly feared.

And once he did, he let out a breath of relief.

"You're fine," he said casually as he finally released her and stood up. "Your body's doing better than you think. As for those so-called aftereffects, I'll find a way to fix them. Even if they can't be cured, it's my responsibility, not yours to worry about."
