My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1614

When Levi regained his consciousness, he was already in a hospital in Chatterton Town. Julien, whom he hadn't seen for a very long time, had paid a visit.

Julien sat beside his bed and accompanied him. After a long silence, he couldn't resist asking, "You're awake but you aren't talking. Levi, this doesn't seem like you."

Levi thought of Ronald with a heavy heart and responded gravely, "People change."

"All humans die eventually, just that some go sooner than others. Your comrade died with honor and would be respected by everyone. You should be proud of him," Julien comforted him.

"Julien, you are so heartless. He's dead. How could you say it so carefreely?" Levi sat up abruptly and bellowed. However, he realized that he had gone too far. Julien was merely stating the truth.

That's right, Ronald had already passed away. What was the point of grieving?

Would Ronald come back alive?

No!

Those who survived should live on and treasure their life. They should live happily for the sake of those who had laid down their lives.

Levi leaned against the headboard, and many thoughts crossed his mind. "Julien, something is bothering me. I thought I knew the answer, but I'm starting to doubt myself recently. I can't wrap my head around it. I'm lost."

Julien chuckled. "How could you ever feel lost?"

They grew up together and knew each other very well. Levi had always pretended to be wise and knowledgeable, regardless of the circumstances. However, he now confessed that he was in doubt out of a sudden, and so Julien was indeed puzzled.

Levi stared at the ceiling and said solemnly, "Julien, I only have one question. Please answer me honestly."

Julien sighed and agreed. It was impossible to refuse someone who was injured. "Go ahead. As long as it's something I know, I will tell you the truth."

Levi shifted his gaze to Julien's face and asked tentatively, "What made you fall for Vanessa? Was it because of her beauty?"

Julien scowled. Was Levi implying that Julien was a shallow man?! He gave Levi a look of reproach and retorted, "It's none of your business why I love Vanessa."

Levi sighed, a sullen expression on his face. "You promised to tell me everything, but you went against your words after the first question. You are so heartless. I wasn't teasing you. It was an earnest question."

He seemed sincere. Julien decided that he was not joking. Besides, there was nothing to hide. Hence, he said, "Well, let me tell you why I love Vanessa."

Julien smirked and remarked, "Do you prefer me to believe you or should I be skeptical?"

Levi said dejectedly, "Well, to be frank, every time Monique appears in front of me, I can't seem to take my eyes off her. I don't know why but sometimes I feel frustrated when other men glanced in her direction. But Julien, you know me. I like women with good looks. I value beauty above all. Monique is a tomboy and is in no way beautiful but why do I think that she's attractive in her own way?"

Levi pondered the matter for a very long time but he still couldn't wrap his head around it. He was hoping that Julien could help clarify his doubts. Although Julien was quite dull-witted, he was definitely more experienced than him.

Julien sighed and responded, "I just told you that before I met Vanessa, I also set a list of criteria. However, ever since I met her, I forgot about my criteria. In my opinion, no woman in the world would be a match for Vanessa."

Levi said exasperatingly, "But it is undeniable that Vanessa is truly gorgeous. Anyone would have been attracted to her at first glance."

Julien raised his brows and said in a warning tone, "Were you?"

"No." He did not deny it because he was afraid of Julien. It was true that he had never fallen for Vanessa.

Firstly, it was out of the question that he would have feelings for Vanessa since he knew that Julien was keenly interested in her. Besides, he just thought that Vanessa was gorgeous. Beauty could be admired from a distance. It was not necessary to possess her as his own...
