Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 596

An hour later, Giselle slowly came to. When she opened her eyes, she found herself on the living room couch, while Donovan was next to her, half-reclined, going through work emails on his laptop. She felt weak and lightheaded, as if her brain had short-circuited.

"You're awake, darling!" Donovan set his laptop aside and helped her sit up. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want some water? Are you hungry?"

"I—" Giselle looked around the familiar living room in her dizziness. Then, she noticed the tired look in Donovan's eyes, and everything came back to her. "Did I… have another episode?"

She knew too well what it felt like to wake up from an episode.

"No." Donovan forced a smile and said casually, "You merely took a nap. You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bring myself to wake you."

"That's impossible." She tried to remember what had happened. "Where are your mom and the others? Did they leave? Weren't we supposed to have dinner together?

"Oh, right. Weren't you resting in bed? Why are you here on the couch?"

"I asked them to leave. They wouldn't stop nagging, and it was getting annoying. I didn't want them to ruin our alone time."

"Really?" Giselle still couldn't remember a thing. "How did I even fall asleep? And on the couch of all places…"

He patiently explained, "You came downstairs to chat with my mom. After a while, I thought it was too noisy, so I asked them to go home. Then, you sat here, played with your phone, and eventually dozed off."
