“Luckily, the bleeding isn’t bad and the situation isn’t too grim. Well try some meds first if things go south, we might need to do surgery”
The hospitals dean put the X–ray in his hands, turning to look at Bernard, who was half–sitting on the bed. Seeing that his mouth was no longer bloody, he let out a sigh of relief Thank god the bleeding stopped in time and there was no infection. If something happened to this big–shot Investor in his hospital the Laurence family might have his head. Eleanor, who was standing by the bed, felt her tense body gradually relax at hearing the dean’s words
“Is there anything he needs to be careful about during his stay?”
“He’s gotta watch his diet and rest. No heavy exercise.”
Eleanor took note of this, then turned towards the doctor who was bandaging Bernard’s arm.
“How’s his arm?”
“Just a scrape with some bleeding. Didn’t hit the bone, so no biggie”
Eleanor exhaled again, her eyes meeting Bernard’s, who was staring at her.
They locked eyes for a moment, then Bernard gently squeezed her hand,
“Eleanor, don’t sweat it. After I pushed you, I managed to dodge.”
He still got hit, but luckily it wasn’t life threatening
Eleanor looked at him with her beautiful eyes, remained silent for a moment, then gently nodded.
After taking his meds, Bernard started to feel a bit tired
”
Seeing him dozing off, Eleanor wanted to get up and prepare some stuff for his stay, but he held her hand tightly
She tried to pull her hand away, but his brows knitted together instantly
He seemed to fear she would leave, even under the influence of the meds and in deep sleep, he didn’t want to let go. Seeing Bernard like this, Eleanor’s heart started to open up.
She couldn’t help but reach out, gently touching his handsome face.
“Bernard
Eleanor murmured, then let out a sigh
Turned out, she still couldn’t forget that name.
She sat by the bed, watching him quietly, reminiscing about the past
It seemed like she could feel his hidden love from those memories
Time ticked by until dawn, and the man on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the woman sleeping quietly by the bed, he felt a warmth in his heart, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Afraid she was uncomfortable, he bore the pain, sat up, brought her onto the bed, and held her in his arms
Eleanor woke up, looking at his face, which was a bit sickly but still handsome
She wanted to say something, but Bernard put her head against his chest, whispering, “Eleanor, sleep with me a bit longer.”
His voice was a bit hoarse, but more magnetic than usual Eleanor obediently relaxed in his arms
Only then did Eleanor notice the gunshot wound near his heart under his open collar.
The wound had healed, but it was still evident that it had once been pierced by a bullet.
She reached out and touched the scar. This is…”
Bernard looked down, following her finger, then covered it up again, casually saying “It’s nothing”
Eleanor remembered Garett once said, Bernard got seriously injured while saving him. Was this wound from that time?
She slowly looked up at the man holding her. He pretended to sleep, but her heart ached slightly
Her hand, which had been nervously at her side, suddenly wrapped around his strong waist.
This move made Bernard stiffen
When his eyes slowly opened, they were full of confusion.
Was she being forward because she was grateful he saved Garett, or was she taking the initiative because she pitied ham?
Bernard didn’t dare to ask. Because whenever she had to choose between him and Garett, she never chose him.
