Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Oblivion-X was never an unknown drug to me.

Night turned into days, and with every minute stretching, Aiden’s anxiousness only grew more and more. He never left Arwen’s side. When she stirred in her unconscious state, he held her hand as though protecting himself from losing her.

Seeing him like this, Jason was troubled. He tried his best to reassure him again and again, but he knew it wouldn’t work until Arwen woke up and Aiden confirmed it himself that she was fine.

"Brother, you need to get some rest," Jason said, his voice laced with concern. "You can’t go on like this. Just look at yourself. With four days and no sleep, you are looking sleep-deprived. Are you really going to let Arwen see you like this?"

Aiden’s eyes didn’t move. It remained at Arwen as he said, "Right now, my rest doesn’t matter. What matters is her waking up. How long will it take more? Why hasn’t she yet woken up?"

Jason looked at his friend and didn’t know how else to explain. He already did it many times. Every time he came here, Aiden would ask the same thing, and every time he would explain the same.

Taking a deep breath for the last time, he said, "Aiden, you need to relax. Arwen is fine, and she is here with you. She isn’t leaving you. She is just unconscious, under the effect of a very strong doze of anaesthesia. Once its effect wears off from her system, she would wake up. How about until you rest until she wakes up?"

He said, and waited for Aiden to respond. But that response never came. In the end, Jason just sighed internally and patted Aiden’s shoulders before turning to leave. "Don’t exhaust yourself too much. She wouldn’t like it when she sees you like that."

And with that, he walked out of the room.

Outside, Reese sat on the chair. His eyes immediately glanced up when he heard the door opening, his gaze meeting Jason the very next second.

Jason paused but didn’t say anything to him. Glancing at him, he just left.

Hours passed by, and just when Aiden felt his patience thinning, he saw a small movement in Arwen. He took it as his imagination for a moment, but then he felt her fingers curling around his hand, and he looked at her face, his eyes searching for more evidence.

Arwen stirred, not in her unconscious state this time, but to finally wake up from the deep slumber she felt trapped in all this time. Her eyelashes fluttered before she finally opened her eyes to take in the light around the room.

"Moon!" Aiden called softly, all the while holding her hand in his. His tone carried a clear vulnerability —a fear underneath laced to it.

Arwen heard the voice, and she turned to look. For the first half second, her gaze felt empty, but the next second, her lips curved up to give a small, reassuring smile to him. "You don’t have to look so scared, husband. I meant to keep my promise when I said that I won’t forget you ever again."

Aiden stared at her, unblinking, as though not very sure how to react. Arwen let him watch her. She tried to shift a little to get more comfortable, and the moment her expression changed, Aiden got up to help her.

"Careful! Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" he asked, ready to call Jason already.

However, Arwen held his hand, stopping him. "I just felt a little dizzy. I am not uncomfortable," she said, as her eyes studied him. "Why are you like this? For how many nights have you not slept?"

Aiden furrowed his brows, but he didn’t answer her. Instead, he adjusted the sheet over her before saying, "I should call Jason to take a look since you woke up."

She wanted to stop him, but he had already moved away.

Jason came soon after. Seeing Arwen, he smiled before coming to check her vitals. "You were sleeping under the effect of anaesthesia. A very strong one. It might be making you feel a little tired."

He said, and Arwen nodded. "Yes, I feel a kind of heaviness. Exhausted."

"That’s normal," Jason replied. "It only means that there is still a lingering effect remaining in your system. Once it’s gone, you will feel better."

Arwen nodded in understanding before cautiously asking, "I haven’t forgotten anything yet. Does that mean they weren’t successful in their attempt?" Although she was trying to make it look like she was fine, she was internally very scared.

Jason paused and exchanged a glance with Aiden. "You weren’t injected with the drug," Jason finally said, turning back to her. "Aiden reached just in time. They would have probably proceeded after giving you that anaesthesia."

Arwen relaxed ... finally. Only she knew how much it dreaded her that moment when she felt that needle pierce her skin. Even though she was prepared for it, she felt her preparation was not at all enough.
