Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
Helena continued brushing her soft hair. Without ceasing that gentle motion, she slowly inhaled. A sensation she already knew all too well circled deep within her chest.
‘Eugene. When I fell in love with you, I felt what it was like to truly breathe. Loving you left me breathless. And now…’
For a fleeting moment, the strands slipping through her fingers appeared black. Helena abruptly halted both her breath and her brushing hand.
‘I feel like I’m holding my breath. I don’t know how long I can keep it up. Since I can neither exhale nor suffocate, I’m just holding on—until I sink deep enough.’
Perhaps sensing her touch subconsciously, Ian shifted slightly in his sleep.
Helena hesitated, unsure whether to move her hand resting above his ear again. She longed to feel it more, yet something inside insisted she shouldn’t.
‘But what am I to do, Eugene? This man keeps pulling me up—yanking me out of nowhere. Now I’m afraid I’ll start breathing again… all because of him.’
Helena finally withdrew her hand.
‘I’m scared.’
At that moment, Ian’s eyelids fluttered faintly.
His lashes rose slowly, like a window opening, revealing violet-hued irises beneath—delicate as violets.
His gaze, still clouded by sleep, cleared slightly as he squeezed his eyes shut once and reopened them, as if shaking off drowsiness.
His face immediately brightened upon realizing Helena was awake. The corners of his eyes crinkled warmly.
The very air in the room heated instantly.
Helena had to grasp for breath as though she’d just surfaced from underwater. It was his breath that filled her lungs.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
