Chapter 624: He Cares about Her Most
Chapter 624: He Cares about Her Most
After a brief chat with Karl, Lorraine walks back to the door of the ward. She went home today to pack up all her belongings. She has planned to stay here for a long time in the future.
She glanced at the man beside the hospital bed, raises her hand and knocks lightly on the door before pushing the door open and entering.
"Mr. Ryan." Lorraine forces out a smile and greets the man in front of her.
Ryan watches as Lorraine walks in. He isn't good at interpersonal relations, but Lorraine is Eunice's mother, he still pays her respect. "Lorraine."
Although Ryan treats Eunice very well and Lorraine really loves her daughter, Lorraine and Ryan doesn't have much to talk. Lorraine can't even imagine how Eunice gets along with Ryan.
This man has an aloof aura. Especially now that he is in a bad mood, it is even more obvious. Even at her age, she can have a sense of pressure when talking with him.
It is over eleven o'clock at noon. Lorraine put the insulation bucket on the table. "Mr. Ryan, have you had lunch? I bring some food with me. It's all made by myself. It's not as delicious as the food in the restaurant outside. You can have some so that you won't be hungry."
When Lorraine came, she had expected that Ryan would definitely be in the ward. Apart from the time she is in the ward, Ryan is always here. At first, she might have doubted his attitude towards Eunice, but later on, all of this makes her no longer suspect him.
No one will act like this if he is pretending. He has done all this willingly.
She doesn't know how to thank him and can only express her thanks in such a clumsy way.
Ryan naturally understands, so he doesn't refuse her. He walks over and sits down at the table, opening the insulation bucket silently.
The insulation bucket is rosy red, and there are two brown cubs printed on it. Half of the cub's face has been worn off, and it looks ridiculous in his hands.
He opens the bucket. There are two simple dishes and a soup. They are sweet and sour pork rib, and shrimp tofu. At the bottom is crucian carp soup. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they look very appetizing. Lorraine is very good at cooking.
"I don't know what kind of food you like to eat, so I made Eunice's favorite. She likes my sweet and sour pork ribs the most, saying that it's the best dish she has ever eaten." Lorraine choked up again. She is afraid that it will affect Ryan's mood, so she pulls out a piece of paper and says an excuse, "I'm going out to get some hot water."
The door opens and closes. Ryan sits at the table and looks at the two dishes. After a long time, he picks up his chopsticks and puts a sweet and sour rib into his mouth.
The sweet and sour taste is mixed with the charred aroma of the soy sauce. The ribs have been fried beforehand and are crispy. The sauce wraps the ribs and the dish is very appetizing.
Ryan does not like to eat greasy food. He preferred beef to pork, but now he feels that this rib is so delicious.
Does she like it?
He thinks about the time when they ate together. She did like sour and sweet food, and didn't like salty and spicy food. However, he didn't pay attention to her at that time, so he never discovered it.
There are eight pieces of ribs on a plate. He eats all of them, leaving nothing. Karl looks at the empty plate, his mouth still full of smell of ribs, but his heart seems to be empty.
It doesn't feel good to eat what she likes, but she cannot wake up.
Ryan picks up the small bowl in front of him and drinks more than half of the fish soup. He is in such a hurry that he spills some soup and he is in a mess. But he doesn't seem to realize it.
The hot vapor rising from the insulation bucket floats into his eyes. He closes his eyes tightly and his mouth is bitter.
After sitting quietly for a moment, he puts down the chopsticks in his hand, takes out a napkin and wiped his mouth. He gets up and walks back to the bedside. He looks down at the increasingly pale face and his eyes are filled with pain.
"When are you going to wake up?" It seems like he hasn't spoken to her for a long time, and his voice is hoarse. "I'm still waiting for you to wake up and punish me. Why do you retreat?"
After his words, the room falls silent. The eyes of the girl on the bed are tightly closed. It is destined to be a one-man show in which he talks to himself alone.
However, Ryan is never tired of such a one-man show. Once he opens his mouth, he can't stop himself.
"Don't you like me? You used to be so brave to show your love to me. Why are you lying still now? Where's your courage?"
"You fearlessly gave yourself to Dalton in the tea house. You said it was for me. Have you asked me how I feel? When exactly will you stop being so arrogant? Are you happy to see me like this?"
"Eunice, I hate women who can't keep her promise, so get up and do everything you have promised, okay?"
At this moment, Ryan suddenly chuckles. His eyes are red, but he looks very confused and a little strange. "Actually, I have a lot to say to you. Unfortunately, I think of them too late. I'm so afraid that I will never have the chance to say them to you personally again."
His voice gradually lowers until it can't be heard clearly. His words are incoherent, and he even mutters all of this intuitively without any logic.
There are simply too many things he wants to say and do. She was living in poverty and shouldered the burden of the family from childhood. He is so rich that he can give her the best life possible. He can give her anything she wants, as long as she tells him.
But now, he doesn't have a chance. He can only desperately suppress the emotions in his heart. Only then can he stabilize himself and not do anything out of line.
A few more glances at the little face under the oxygen mask on the white pillows can defeat him and make him collapse.
His tall body curves up bit by bit. The pain in his eyes almost burns him. He chokes up. "How did you grow up? Why are you so fearless? How dare you use your life to exchange..."
Even now, Ryan does not dare to imagine what kind of mood she was in when she used herself to replace Adair from Dalton. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He only remembers what Adair has told him.
"I like you so much that it's worth it to do it for someone you care about."
At that time, she thought that he only cared about Lily. Even he himself thought so, but tragedies often happen at such time.
She fainted, and it is highly likely that she will never wake up. However, he discovers that he has already fallen in love with her.
The affection that he has deliberately ignored is revealed at this moment. But his heart is tormented by such a result every day.
It makes him regret every night, making him feel regret for the first time in more than 30 years of his life.
If he can, he wishes he can personally tell her that he cares about her most.
