Chapter 171 171. I am everything

When Augustine heard this, he couldn't help but think of the days when Su Yaoyao always frowned in her sleep and often woke up from nightmares.

He was either worried about Noah or Lucia. He sighed helplessly, his heart filled with heartache for Su Yaoyao.

He lowered his head slightly and glanced at Lucia, who had "occupied the magpie's nest", with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Then, he carefully picked up Su Yaoyao and turned to walk towards his bedroom.

Before leaving, he solemnly instructed the attendants beside him: "You must take good care of Lucia. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."

Augustine carried Su Yaoyao back to his bedroom and gently placed her on the soft bed.

The candlelight flickered in the bedroom, and the dim light sprinkled on Su Yaoyao's pale face, reflecting the deep dark circles under her eyes. Augustine looked at her so haggard, and his heart ached as if he was being grabbed by an invisible hand.

He stood quietly by the bed, his eyes never leaving Su Yaoyao's face.

Time passed slowly in silence, and every minute and every second seemed extremely long to Augustine.

Finally, Su Yaoyao's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

Augustine was delighted and quickly moved closer, asking softly, "Yaoyao, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yaoyao looked around in confusion, her eyes showing a bit of bewilderment. After a moment, she came back to her senses. Her eyes instantly showed worry for Lucia again. She asked anxiously, "How is Lucia? Is he okay? I just saw him in pain in my dream again."

Augustine gently held Su Yaoyao's hand, wrapped her hand in his warm palm, and comforted her, "You forgot, the doctor said Lucia's life is safe. As long as he is carefully taken care of, he will gradually get better. Don't worry too much and ruin your body."

After hearing this, Su Yaoyao's tense body relaxed a little, but she soon frowned again and said, "Then I have to go take care of him. The doctor said I need to comfort him more." As she spoke, she struggled to get up.

Augustine quickly held her down, and with unquestionable tenderness in his tone, he advised, "You are still very weak and need to rest well. Lucia has servants and doctors taking care of her, so she will be fine. It won't be too late to comfort him when you feel better."

"But I'm worried. If he wakes up, he will definitely be scared. If I'm not by his side, he will have all kinds of thoughts." Su Yaoyao's eyes were full of anxiety.

"You will only faint again if you do this, and you will fall ill before Lucia recovers. By then, not only will you feel uncomfortable, but Lucia will also blame herself. Can you bear to see him like that?" Augustine coaxed her.

Su Yaoyao bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before she agreed to obey and nodded slightly.

Seeing that she had finally obeyed, Augustine ordered the servants to bring hot water and a clean towel, and personally took out the ointment to relieve fatigue from the cabinet nearby.

Augustine sat gently beside the bed, his eyes full of pity, as if Su Yaoyao was the most precious treasure in the world.

He wrung out the warm towel and gently wiped Su Yaoyao's cheek. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of hurting her. He said softly, "You've been too tired these days. It's time to take a good rest."

Su Yaoyao was somewhat flattered and quickly said, "How can this be done, Your Majesty? I can wipe it myself."

Augustine frowned slightly, feigning anger and sighing softly. His expression was like that of a neglected child, filled with grievance. He looked at Su Yaoyao with burning eyes and said, "You've only called me Augustine a few times, and now you've called me Your Majesty again, and you're even being so distant with me. Am I just the high and mighty Majesty in your heart, and not the Augustine you can be close to?"

He paused, a look of loneliness flashing in his eyes, and continued: "Yaoyao, now, do you only like Lucia? Do you only care about his feelings? Can't you feel my love for you?"

"No, no..." After hearing Augustine's words, Su Yaoyao's heart suddenly tightened, as if she was stabbed by something sharp.

She reacted quickly, and remembered the terrible scene of Lucia's violent outburst, and her heart was filled with fear.

After that experience, she never dared to ignore or avoid any male she liked again.

She explained anxiously, her hands unconsciously grabbing Augustine's sleeves, her eyes full of panic and anxiety, "Augustine, you misunderstood. You are also very important to me, very important."

Augustine looked at Su Yaoyao's panic, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes. He reached out and gently touched Su Yaoyao's head, saying softly: "Be good, you are also very important to me, so let me take good care of you."

Su Yaoyao nodded slightly and no longer insisted.

Augustine then smiled with satisfaction, continued to pick up the towel and gently wiped her cheek.

Su Yaoyao's skin looked a little pale due to days of fatigue. Augustine felt more and more uncomfortable when he saw her.

After wiping her face, he carefully wiped her hands, not leaving out any finger, as if he wanted to convey his care and love to her through this action.

Su Yaoyao looked at Augustine's focused expression, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said softly, "Thank you, Augustine."

Augustine smiled slightly and said, "I'll be happier if you can start calling me husband."

Su Yaoyao blushed, which made her originally pale face look much rosier.

Then, Augustine opened the lid of the ointment, squeezed out some fine ointment into his palm, rubbed it gently to warm it, and began to carefully massage Su Yaoyao's temples.

His fingers moved in circles slowly with just the right amount of force, hoping to ease her tense nerves.

Su Yaoyao murmured softly, "Very comfortable."

Augustine said gently, "Go back to sleep. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

"Yeah." Su Yaoyao responded. Under Augustine's gentle massage and warm words, she gradually relaxed and felt sleepy.

She slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "Augustine, I feel much more at ease with you around..."

Augustine watched her gradually fall asleep, a relieved smile on his face. He leaned over gently, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and whispered, "Go to sleep, I'll always be with you..."

Afterwards, he sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes always fixed on Su Yaoyao's face, as if he was guarding the most precious treasure in the world. His eyes were full of affection and determination, as if he was announcing to the whole world that he would use everything he had to protect the woman in front of him.
