Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence

After the heartwarming proposal, the couple began handing out candy to the surrounding visitors.

Ariana and Holden were among those who received the sweet treats.

The woman noticed Melon and Adele and couldnt help but compliment them, saying, Your kids are absolutely adorable.

I hope our future children will be as lovely as yours.

Thank you, replied Ariana, graciously accepting the candy and offering her heartfelt blessings.

Yet, as she watched the couples happiness, a pang of regret washed over her.

Even though she and Holden had been together for so long, they had never experienced an engagement or a wedding.

The thought lingered in her mind, filling her heart with a bittersweet longing.

Holden stood quietly beside Ariana, his gaze steady as she chatted animatedly with the newly engaged couple.

When her demeanor shifted ever so slightly, he stepped closer and gently clasped her hand.

Once their polite farewells were exchanged, he glanced at his watch and gestured for Melon and Adele to follow, signaling that it was time to leave.

As Melon and Adele reluctantly said goodbye to the costumed performers, Holden leaned toward Ariana and spoke softly, concern lacing his words. Whats wrong? You seem a bit unhappy.

Arianas eyes widened momentarily at his question, but she quickly replaced her surprise with a smile.

Nothing.

Im fine, really, she replied.

Though she wasnt truly upset, a faint pang of longing lingered in her chest.

The thought of never experiencing a wedding with Holden surfaced once again.

Still, she hesitated to voice this to Holden, not wanting him to feel pressured.

She reminded herself that her familys happiness was enough.

Choosing to focus on the present, she brushed her thoughts aside.

Holden, however, continued to watch her in silence, his expression unreadable.

Unbeknownst to Ariana, Holden had been carefully crafting the perfect proposal for months.

Every detail had been meticulously considered and revised countless times to ensure the moment would be perfect.

To Holden, proposing wasnt something to be rushed.

He wanted the proposal to be a grand, unforgettable matter.

Besides, a lot had happened recently, delaying his plans.

Ariana had endured the trauma of being injected with a dangerous drug by Moss, narrowly escaping death.

Melons kidnapping had thrown their family into disarray, and on top of it all, Arianas health was still fragile.

Holden believed it was wiser to let Ariana recover fully before he would propose to her.

After their outing, the family quickly returned to the Fredrick Mansion.

Melon and Adele, exhausted from all the fun, fell asleep as soon as their bath was done.

Since Ariana needed proper rest, Holden decided not to sleep in the same room with Ariana.

Before heading to their respective rooms, Holden and Ariana shared a tender moment at the door.

He held her close for a few moments, reluctant to part, before finally letting her go.

That evening, Ariana lay awake in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Her thoughts drifted to the romantic proposal she had witnessed earlier and the tender moments she had shared with Holden. Thinking of these cherished memories, she let out a quiet sigh, wishing for nothing more than a peaceful and happy life for her family from now on.

As the hours of darkness stretched on, Ariana eventually fell asleep, clutching her blanket.

But not long after, Ariana had a nightmare.

In the dream, she saw Holden motionless, his lifeless body surrounded by blood near a desolate lake.

She bolted upright, gripping the blanket tightly as her pulse raced with Lingering terror.

Holden was still awake, his focus fixed on the stack of documents before him.

The sudden sight of Ariana at the door caught him off guard, her pale face and disheveled hair sending a wave of alarm through him.

Rising swiftly, he studied her trembling form, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead.

Whats wrong? he asked softly, his voice laced with concern.

Did a nightmare wake you? Ariana nodded, her words barely a whisper.

I dreamed that you were dead, she confessed, her steps unsteady as she moved into his embrace.
