He did not how traumatized Hannah was when she finished the whole jar of chicken soup. Thus, she ended up hating it. That was why she could not resist grumbling about it.
A jerk? That’s how you think of me all this while! How sad! I have stood up for you and put so much effort into taking vengeance on behalf of you. Yet it means nothing to you? Looks like I’m just wasting my effort and precious time!
He let out a sigh in disappointment and got up again.
When he was about to step out of the ward, Hannah yelled again, “Fabian, don’t go! Don’t leave me alone here. I’m really scared!”
Fabian turned to look at Hannah again. Shaking his head, he walked toward her bed and mumbled, “You’re the one who begged me not to leave. I hope you don’t forget about this tomorrow and blame me for that.”
Without hesitation, he took off his clothes and lay next to Hannah in the bed.
He leaned closer to Hannah and whispered next to her ear, “This is the first time you’ve requested me to stay the night with you.”
Hannah’s shoulder shuddered instinctively as she sensed his hot breath against her sensitive ear. Grumbling impulsively, she turned to face Fabian and continued to sleep soundly.
Gazing lovingly at Hannah, Fabian found that she looked exceptionally charming when she was sleeping. It was as if she was Sleeping Beauty, who happened to be shrouded by a mysterious veil of soft glow. Stretching out his hand, his long fingers stroked her delicate cheeks gently as he whispered casually, “I just realize that you have the most flawless and smooth skin.”
As he continued to gaze at her silently, he was gradually overcome by a sense of sleepiness and had drifted off to sleep.
Both of them ended up spending a peaceful night on the same bed in the ward.
The next morning, Hannah came to her senses when the warm sun shone onto her through the window of the ward. Stretching her body instinctively, she was startled to find that she was unable to lift her left arm. She turned and was stupefied to see a man’s naked chest pressed against it. Pulling her arm away at once, she jumped down the bed and yelled, “Help! A pervert! There’s a pervert in my room!”
She covered Fabian’s head with the blanket and bashed him hard with the pillow.
Hannah’s high-pitched volume woke Fabian up at once. A sudden, uncontrollable fury rose in him. As he was about to lash out in anger, he realized that his head was wrapped by the blanket. Hence, he yanked the blanket and tossed it away furiously. His eyes widened the moment Hannah continued hitting him with the pillow. Grabbing it swiftly, he growled at her, “What’s the matter with you? Have you gone nuts?”
“I-I thought you’re a pervert,” Hannah stammered guiltily the moment she discovered that the man turned out to be Fabian.
Keeping her fingers crossed, she hoped that the arrogant man would not be further angered.
With a grim look, Fabian replied scornfully, “If I were a pervert, do you think you can still stand here unharmed?”
Hannah realized something and asked him, “If you’re not a pervert, then why are you sleeping beside me?” She looked at Fabian disdainfully.
How dare he tried to harass me when I was asleep!
“I knew that you would say so. If you hadn’t begged me to stay last night, I would’ve left long ago.” Fabian’s rage was gradually eased as he was feeling amused with the sudden change in Hannah’s expression.
Hmph! I begged you? Liar! Don’t you know that I had a good sleep when you were not around?
Lifting her head, Hannah glared at Fabian with her lips pouted and snorted at him.
Knowing what was playing in her mind, Fabian could not help feeling amused with Hannah’s body language. This woman is undoubtedly overconfident. She never fails to think that I’m looking for opportunities to take advantage of her!
Anyway, he was pretty sure that sooner or later Hannah would fall for him, just like how all the other women were attracted to him.
Hannah headed straight for the washroom and had a quick wash. She had made the decision to be back to work at once, as she could not stay at the hospital any longer.
After a while, Fabian took his turn to have a quick wash as well and called for breakfast to be delivered to them. Heaving a satisfying sigh, Hannah was thankful that she could have milk instead of that dreadful chicken soup.
While Fabian was savoring his eggs, Hannah looked at him and said warily, “It seems that I have recovered, so I feel like getting back to work today.”
With her fists tightly clenched, she bent her arms to convince Fabian that she was fit to be back to work.
