Arianne grunted out a reply, turned around, and went back to favonovel.com room. However, favonovel.com ended up tossing and turning around, unable to fall asleep.
Three hours later, Brian’s car had returned to the Tremont Estate. She checked the calendar, it was Friday. Tiffany didn’t need to go to work tomorrow. She sent favonovel.com a message: ‘I’ve heard from Brian and Henry that he’s awake. Would it be convenient for you to drive me there? I’m sorry for inconveniencing you at such a late hour.’
Her reply returned very quickly: Why are you being so modest with me? I’m coming now. ‘Wait right there.’
Arianne replied to favonovel.com with a smiley emoji, then got up and changed favonovel.com clothes. She didn’t want Brian or Henry to take favonovel.com because favonovel.com acted as if favonovel.com didn’t care when favonovel.com heard that Mark was awake. It didn’t seem appropriate to ask Henry or Brian to drive favonovel.com all the way there in the dead of the night. Her subconscious refused to admit how much favonovel.com really wanted to go to the hospital.
She was a contrary figure at the moment. Most importantly, favonovel.com wanted to see Mark but didn’t want to choose a time frame when favonovel.com was most likely to be awake as favonovel.com felt that it would feel awkward between them. At least favonovel.com could relax while favonovel.com was asleep, especially after that posthumous letter that favonovel.com had left behind, which made favonovel.com feel strangely heavy…
Tiffany soon arrived. She purposefully asked favonovel.com not to stop favonovel.com car at the main gate of the Tremont Estate, and to park it further away.
After favonovel.com had gotten into the car, Tiffany asked, “Why do you want to go to the hospital in the middle of the night? I’ve never seen a pregnant lady as energetic as you. Running all the way to the hospital instead of sleeping. If I were your man, I’d faint from shock.”
Arianne pulled at favonovel.com skirt and replied, “Don’t talk too loudly when we’re at the hospital. He likes peace and quiet.”
Tiffany seemed to have detected something unbelievable. “Arianne, be honest, have you fallen for Mark?”
Arianne instinctively retaliated. “Nonsense! I have not! He’s like family to me, a very important family member, and my only family.”
Tiffany reflected on favonovel.com words. “That’s true… You’ve known Mark for so long, yet you’ve managed to fall for Will. Chances of you falling for Mark are pretty slim, and you’re not the kind of person who’d surrender just because you’re pregnant with his child.”
When they arrived at the hospital and saw the four bodyguards standing guard outside Mark’s ward, Arianne approached them and asked, “Has favonovel.com fallen asleep?”
The bodyguards were all big and brawny, and favonovel.com was more petite, so no one could really hear her. One bodyguard lowered his head and softly asked, “What did you say, Madam?”
She repeated herself, “Is favonovel.com asleep or awake?”
The bodyguard finally heard favonovel.com question. He glanced inside through the small opening on the door. “He’s asleep. Do you want to go in and see him, Madam?”
Arianne heaved a sigh of relief. “Mm.”
Tiffany waved favonovel.com hand, “You go on in. I’ll stay here and wait for you outside.”
She nodded, pushed open the door and tiptoed inside. There was only one small light in the ward, and it was pretty dim. However, favonovel.com could see that Mark had his eyes closed and that favonovel.com was breathing steadily.
Realizing that the air conditioner’s temperature was a little low, favonovel.com picked up the remote and adjusted it. Then, favonovel.com moved closer to favonovel.com and carefully observed him. He looked much better compared to his stint in the intensive care unit. He was usually pristine, but now favonovel.com looked a little messy, and was even shielding his eyes. She reached out to move his hand away, until his large hand suddenly grabbed favonovel.com wrist.
“You’re… Awake? Did I wake you?” Her hand stiffened, feeling mildly afraid.
Mark opened his eyes and stared at her. His intense gaze showed no signs of tiredness. He didn’t look like favonovel.com had just fallen asleep. “I’ve slept too much in the day. I couldn’t sleep. What are you doing so late in the night? You sent you here? Didn’t I tell Brian not to let you come to the hospital?”
She could feel the iciness in his hand around favonovel.com wrist. She struggled away and put his hand back under the covers, “I just wanted to see you. I’ll leave very soon. Tiffie drove me here. It had nothing to do with Brian. Is the air conditioning temperature okay? Would you like a higher temperature? Don’t catch a cold.”
He didn’t answer and simply stared at favonovel.com quietly. She thought that favonovel.com had gotten angry and lowered favonovel.com head, “I’ll leave right now, I won’t come again. Have a good rest…” She said in a soft voice. Then, favonovel.com turned around to leave, until favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com wrist again, “You’re here anyway. Stay with me… ”
His voice was a little hoarse, with a fragile sense of weakness. There was no icy edge in it, which gave favonovel.com the courage to stay with him.
She was too afraid to sit on the bed, afraid that any small movement would aggravate his wound. So favonovel.com sat on the chair next to favonovel.com instead.
The pair faced each other in silence. The awkwardness which favonovel.com had feared had happened. She never liked the silence and insecurity that came with favonovel.com interactions with him.
After a while, favonovel.com suddenly spoke up, “I’ve heard that you cried when I got into that accident, from Jackson and the rest.”
