Chapter 8 One Man Alone
Hospital.
The doctor helped Christine White to do a physical examination and looked slightly serious, “Ms. White, you should have had a stomach problem for a while, but fortunately it’s not too serious, you just need to pay attention to your diet in general.”
“I suppose the reason for the sudden stomach trouble tonight is that you haven’t been eating regularly and properly, and by the way, Ms. White, what have you been eating today?”
What’s for dinner? Christine White looked over at Baird Lane awkwardly, where was she going to eat when she was out cold on her lunch break and then working late into the night?
“Doctor, is there a cure for this stomach problem?”
Baird Lane frowned, feeling a little guilty for some reason at the sight of the woman’s pale appearance.
“It’s a bit difficult.” The doctor shook his head, “Ms. White’s stomach problem isn’t serious in the end, as long as she pays attention to eating healthy and regular meals, she’ll be fine if she nourishes her stomach for a while.”
The doctor explained a few things and let Christine White rest here while he went to get the nurse to help him get the medicine.
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened when the door to the hospital room was closed.
She unnaturally clenched her hand, turned her head to see the sky outside the window had already sunk into darkness, and couldn’t help but say, “The doctor said that I’ll have to hang an IV later, and I won’t be able to go back until I get it late, so why don’t you go first?”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait here.”
Baird Lane, his face devoid of unnecessary expression, pulls aside a chair and sits, pulling out his cell phone as if to begin his official business.
Even though he hadn’t said more than a few words of comfort from start to finish, Christine White couldn’t stop the curve of her lips just looking at the side of his face.
She grabbed her sleeve and hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to whisper, “Actually, when I used to be sick, I wished someone would come to the hospital with me.”
This way … she won t have to be alone.
Baird Lane looked up, the light in the room reflecting Christine White’s face a few shades paler, looking thin with her slender neck showing between lowered heads.
For some reason, his heart abruptly went sour as if something had hit him.
The strange feeling made him frown tightly, but he didn’t know why.
This expression of his fell on Christine White’s eyes, thinking he was upset, and frightened, she hurried to explain, “Don’t be angry! I didn’t mean to say anything about you, it’s just-”
It’s just that she didn’t control her heart for a while …
The day they got married and received their license, Baird Lane made it very clear that he didn’t have any feelings for her, and that nothing would happen between them.
“You get some sleep.”
Glancing at her little gesture, Baird Lane intensified his frown and spoke coldly.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, okay …”
Christine White didn’t dare to say more, and obediently closed her eyes with the intention of resting, for fear that the more she said, the more wrong she would be.
After a night of overtime at the office and lying in her hospital bed, she fell fast asleep.
Baird Lane puts down his work and looks up at Christine White’s sleeping form, a few deep thoughts sweeping across his eyes.
Christine White’s looks looked very comfortable to him.
Palm-sized delicate small face, showy nose, fair and lovely skin, although not a beautiful and moving big beauty, but also showy and lovely.
Especially when you look at him, there’s always a light in your eyes …
Buzz!
A call suddenly came in on the cell phone.
Baird Lane took his cell phone and went outside the hospital room, “What can I do for you?”
“Sir, the doctor says Miss Bort is not doing well and is ready for surgery as she goes along, so please make your decision soon.”
The assistant’s voice came sharply over the microphone, and the emotion under Baird Lane’s eyes grew more and more intense, “Tell the doctor I’ll get back to him tomorrow.”
“Yes, I know, sir.”
Hanging the phone up, he stood in the doorway and looked inside with a few complicated looks.
For this woman, he had almost forgotten about her originally, but this time he came back for something else.
Ironically, he couldn’t get the words out of his mind when he met Christine White’s clear eyes.
But this matter has to be resolved!
