you?”
Chapter 4
I woke up in the hospital at 7am.
I saw Ethan holding my hand, looking haggard as if he had been watching over me all night.
He got up to pour me some water, “Is this how you mistreat your body when I’m not around? You’ve always had a weak stomach. Are you trying to kill yourself?”
He questioned me.
How ridiculous.
In the wook I was looking for him, I couldn’t eat or sleep, losing 5 pounds
I had thought maybe Ethan offended someone in the business world and got kidnapped.
Worried sick, unable to sleep at night, my pillow soaked with tears.
But he was out having a grand old time somewhere else, even kissing some girl.
“Not talking?” Ethan’s eyes held a smile as he pinched my cheek. “You know I’ll put you, right?”
“Alright, get up and eat something”
“I went home and cooked you some porridge. Haven’t slept all night”
He acted as if nothing had happened, propping me up and feeding ma spoonful by spoonful.
Several times I wanted to ask him.
Ethan, aren’t you tired of acting?
don’t want to get married, we can cancel the wedding
Or tell him, Ethan, I overheard your conversation. If you d
immediately. We haven’t registered anyway
But I swallowed it back.
I also really wanted to know, after loving him for so many years, why was he treating me like this? Just because I used to like someone else, I don’t deserve to be loved anymore?
“Honey, why are you crying?”
He put down the bowl and clumsily wiped my tears. Twas wrong, hubby was wrong, okay?”
I lowered my gaze and slowly closed my eyes, but fall into Ethan’s embrace.
He gently stroked my back and started to explain, “Baby, I’m sorry for making you worry”
“I was just a bit too excited, knowing I’m going to marry you. I couldn’t believe it for a moment, afraid it was a dream, so i
wanted to sober myself up. I’m sorry for not talling you beforehand. Will you forgive me?” He lied.
“In twenty days, we’ll be married. I stay home and accompany you during this time, letting you be my most beautiful bride, okay?” But Ethon Williams, we have no future together.
He wiped away
ay the tears on my cheeks with his fingertips. Those almond eyes staring at you would make you feel like he
was so affectionate.
“I’m going out for a smoke. We’ll leave the hospital in a bit”
Perhaps Ethan Williams was too trusting of me. Or maybe he wasn’t afraid I would overthink, after all, he was just fulfilling what his buddies said now, putting on an act of affection.
So, I picked up his phone that kept getting message notifications. The password was my birthday. I always knew, but I never checked before.
Opening the phone, a girl named “A Pooch Blossom sent many messages. They connected yesterday
[Ethan, coming back so lato, you should go rest early]
[I heard Ethan is getting married, can you send me an invitation? I want some of that marital luck too.]
-Osaw you clutching your stomach when I got off the plane, are you unwell?]
[I browed some millet porridge for you overnight, good for the stomach! Hurry and praise me!]
He didn’t reply to the earlier ones, only this one. He replied: [Send it to this address.]
I glanced at the pink thermal lunchbox on the table and folt nauseous again. The girl kopt messaging after:
[Are you sick? Is it serious? How about I stay with you at the hospital?]
[ll go make mora after you finish the porridge.]
(Ethan, take care of your health]
Chapter 4
[Sitting in the hall all night, my legs are numb and my period cramps hurt.]
I turned off the phone, setting the messages as unread. Then I got out of bed. In the hall, lindeed saw Ethan Williams. And that girl from yesterday.
