His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 474

“Thank you, Elmer…”

A faint smile flickered on Niamh’s pale face.

But Elmer couldn’t bring himself to smile back. The usual warmth and elegance in his features was clouded by a hint of frustration and unease.

“It was Jonathan who saved you,” he said quietly.

“I know,” Niamh replied.

Her calm answer caught Elmer off guard.

“But you and Lana stayed up all night for me. I should thank you, too.”

Elmer looked at Niamh, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. He hadn’t wanted her to think he was the one who rescued her. He didn’t want to take credit for what Jonathan had done; it would have felt like stealing something precious from him.

Yet, at the same time, he dreaded the possibility that Niamh’s old feelings for Jonathan might resurface. The contradiction left Elmer paralyzed, unsure of what to say or do.

He never expected Niamh would already know it was Jonathan who’d come to her aid. After all, she’d been barely conscious at the time.

But Niamh knew Jonathan’s warmth, the feel of his arms, the scent of him. They’d once shared the same bed for three years. Once, she’d loved Jonathan so deeply…

“Elmer, I’m a little tired. I think I’d like to sleep for a while…”

“Of course,” he murmured.

Elmer gently tucked the blanket around her shoulders, sensing that she wanted him to leave, though she couldn’t quite say it out loud.

Once he’d gone, the hospital room felt emptier than ever—silent and still.

Niamh curled up beneath the covers, restless and tangled in her own thoughts.

Why… why was it Jonathan again?
