Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1841

Suddenly, Drake reached out and pulled her into a tight hug. It was the only way he felt grounded.

The hug caught Debra off guard.

She blinked. "What's wrong? Are you sleepwalking?"

Drake didn't let go, and she added, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the medical room?"

"Just be quiet for a second," he murmured. "Let me hold you."

Debra's legs were getting sore. Drake was way taller, and if she wasn't on her tiptoes, her face would've been buried in his chest.

"Ease up a bit. I can't breathe," she mumbled.

He realized she was suffocating and let go. She stumbled back, barely staying upright.

He froze, shocked by his own action. For a split second, he'd panicked, terrified he'd be trapped in this dream forever.

But when Debra showed up, it was like she anchored him. Hugging her made him feel real.

"You got a fever or something? Your face is flushed," Debra said, reaching for his forehead.

He swatted her hand away. "I'm fine. Just stop following me."
