It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 12: DID YOU FORGET?

Chapter 12: DID YOU FORGET?

Hailee didn't know if she should be thankful for this, but what she understood was that it would be difficult for her to escape if the large bodyguard were to guard the exit.

"There are a few things I have to take care of, I hope you will be fine as I can't stay to look after Ramon tonight." Lis looked at her son's face and stroked his head gently before she turned her attention back to Hailee.

"Ah, that…" Hailee looked doubtful, but then she agreed. "Of course," she muttered.

Grabbing her cell phone, she said to Hailee as she turned around. "Then, I'll be going now."

"Mrs. Tordoff." Hailee immediately called Lis, she really felt awkward, to stay alone for the night with a completely stranger.

"Hm?" Lis turned around and raised her eyebrows, questioning Hailee's actions. "Yes?" she asked, because the girl did not open her mouth after calling her back.

Biting her lip, Hailee shuffled restlessly. "This… don't you want to find out who I am first? And what kind of background I came from?"

Hailee couldn't pretend forever, because when Ramon woke up tomorrow and see her, things will get complicated if Lis finds out that she was lying. The fact that Hailee had claimed to be Ramon's fiancé alone was bad enough, not to mention that she had to lie for any other detail they asked for.

Lis's gaze softened as she walked over to Hailee and rubbed her shoulders. "Ramon has his own reasons why he's been keeping your identity a secret for the past two years , therefore, I won't be looking into this information unless you tell me."Lis then added. "Do you want to tell me?"

Seeing Hailee who didn't answer her question, Lis immediately knew what the answer was. She was not angry though, there was a smile on her lips as she patted Hailee on the shoulder.

"We will learn to get to know each other slowly. There's still plenty of time for that. "

After saying her last sentence, the female elite, exited the room and closed the door, leaving Hailee in silence.

"Ah, what a mess!" Hailee grumbled, tugging at her own hair in frustration, as she couldn't do anything.

She felt very tired and hungry, because in the cafeteria earlier, she had not eaten anything but a glass of drink that she did not got enough time to finish.

'Perhaps, tonight then. 'Hailee thought she would spend the night here for a while and later she would find something to fill her empty stomach.

Hailee lifted her tired legs and approached the bed where Ramon was laying. His head was bandaged and there was a breathing apparatus placed over his nose and mouth, but from the outline and shape of his face alone, Hailee knew that Ramon could be called; a man who could easily melt any woman's heart.

"Who is the lucky woman who got to be his girlfriend?" Hailee got curious as she muttered to herself.

In her vague memory, Hailee remembered one of the news articles which featured Ramon Tordoff as the subject, but Hailee did not follow the topic of discussion and immediately changed the news channel to another channel. She was not a big fan of discussions about the country's economy.

But, who would have thought, that years later, Hailee would actually meet a young banker who had caused a scene in the mass media several years ago because of his scandal.

Letting out a soft sigh, Hailee moved away and headed for the bed that was specially designated for people accompanying patients like herself.

This bed was soft enough, at least ten times more comfortable than the hard bed at Ian's house. But, Hailee would choose to sleep in her best friend's room if she she was given the opportunity.

Right now Hailee is too tired to think, but tomorrow she will escape this situation for sure before Ramon got to realize and exposed her lies in front of Lis.

With that plan, Hailee closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep.

But, just like her life these past few days, the plan this time around didn't seem like it will work out the way Hailee had hoped.

***

Hailee woke up the next day when she heard a faint moan coming from the man on the bed. Unexpectedly, she slept very soundly last night, maybe because she was too tired, or maybe because she felt safe in this hospital, because right behind the entrance, Hailee knew that bodyguard of Lis was on guard.

The groaning sound grew more and more and forced Hailee to open her sleepy eyes.

The room was dimly lit, but seeing how bright it was behind the thick blue curtains, which blocked out the sun, Hailee knew that the night had turned to morning.

Staggering, Hailee walked over to the sound that was disturbing her sleep and found Ramon who had opened his eyes.

"Argh!" Hailee gave a low cry and hurriedly closed her mouth before she could scream even louder.

There, on the bed, Ramon is staring at her with a frown, then his lips curl into the question Hailee had been afraid of all along.

"Who are you?" Ramon asked hoarsely, looking like he was trying to sit up, but he kept struggling because he didn't have much energy left to use, and again, Hailee didn't do anything because she was too shocked to process what she should do next.

"Who are you?" Ramon gave Hailee an annoyed look as he repeated his question.

Hailee stuttered, not knowing what answer to give. She couldn't let Ramon wait too, because even though the man's face was pale, the look in his eyes was really scary.

Hailee took a few steps back, even though her brain was still thinking about the best answer she could provide, but her body was moving on its own, looking for a way out of this situation.

On the other hand, seeing that the girl he didn't recognize moving away, Ramon grew even more suspicious and immediately pushed the emergency button beside his bed. His body was too weak to catch up with Hailee and his head was too heavy for him to remember that if he had met this girl before.

Hailee was only able to grab the door handle when the door opened from outside and presented Lis from behind it.

"Hailee?" Lis looked at her with questioning eyes, noticing that the confusion on the girl's face was clearly visible. "What is wrong?"

However, before Hailee could answer that question, Lis had caught the figure of Ramon who had awakened.

Lis's maternal instincts made her rush over to her first child, but didn't forget to drag Hailee along with her too.

Hailee was really about to cry, her hands started to sweat while her body stiffened like a block of ice.

"Ramon…" Lis carefully hugged Ramon, just after letting go of her grip on Hailee.

However, this moment of emotion, could not make Ramon take his investigative gaze away from Hailee.

"Who is she?" Ramon asked again, after Lis let go of him and wiped the tears from her face.

"You don't know? How can you forget her, this is your lover, right?" Lis turned the same questioning gaze toward Hailee.
