Chapter 968 - 964: I’m His Fiancée (Part 2)
She stood quietly at the doorway of the hospital room, taking a few seconds to calm her emotions.The room was unlit, she thought, would barging in like this disturb his rest?
After all, he was still a patient.
She didn’t turn on the light, but carefully pushed open the hospital room door, afraid of making even the slightest noise.
The room was remarkably quiet, only the sound of her own softly suppressed breathing.
She stood there dumbfounded, facing the hospital bed.
Due to the darkness, she could only roughly guess the bed’s position.
At this moment, she really wanted to sentimentally ask, "Asher Land, are you okay now?"
She didn’t know how long she’d stood in the dark, he thought, if Asher woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the light, seeing her standing there like a ghost would surely startle him.
No.
He’s a patient and cannot be startled.
She decided to wait outside tonight, and see him once he awoke with the morning light.
Just as she turned to leave, a sudden ’snap’, and the room was filled with glaring light.
The unexpected brightness startled her, and she couldn’t help but cry out.
"Lu..."
Surprised, she covered her mouth, looking at the man standing at the hospital room door, dressed in loose blue and white striped clothing...
Upon seeing her, he was equally shocked.
But after merely two seconds, he regained his composure.
Yet this woman seemed as if she’d been scared silly, staring at him with wide eyes and an astonished open mouth.
It’s not as if she’d seen a ghost, is there really need to exaggerate?
He chuckled lightly, shaking his head with helplessness, and slowly approached her.
"Can you see me clearly?"
He joked with her intentionally, even though he knew her eyes were fine now, usually Luke Land was the one to first inform him about her in Eastern City, but today, he hadn’t told him Sophie Smith was coming, so this was a surprise.
Sophie raised her head, looking at the man before her.
He seemed much thinner, the contours of his face more pronounced, and in the night, his skin appeared paler, devoid of any blood color, looking just like...
Just like a handsome, wicked vampire from the Middle Ages.
For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Sophie’s mind.
Then, she neurotically raised her hand to touch her own slender neck for a moment...
"What’s wrong?" Asher furrowed his brows, she gave him a peculiar feeling.
"Are you still angry with me? You didn’t want to come see me, did you? Was... Luke Land forcing you?"
He asked three consecutive questions.
"No."
Suddenly, she approached him, reaching out to encircle his waist, tightly hugging his body, burying her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, reluctant to let go.
"You..." Asher’s hands awkwardly hovered in the air, what did this embrace mean?
Did it represent the thawing of the ice between them?
He pondered for a moment, then slowly lowered his hands, embracing her body too.
"Asher Land, I... I kind of missed you."
Asher Land’s body suddenly stiffened, she said she missed him?
"Sophie Smith, are you serious?"
Why did it feel so unreal to him?
She just quietly leaned against his chest, for a long while, Asher Land felt a wet spot over his chest.
"Sophie Smith, no crying allowed."
His tone carried a domineering command.
