My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 383 - I Want To Accompany Her

At the same time, the atmosphere in the ward was still gloomy.

After Merry hugged Lilia and cried uncontrollably, she fell asleep in the model's arm. Her head rested on Lilia's shoulder while her swollen eyes were tightly closed.

Lilia supported Merry and helped her lie down on the empty hospital bed. She made sure the young woman was still fast asleep before covering her with the blanket.

About half an hour later, Jean was finally back inside the ward. But Alan didn't come back with him. Lilia heard from Jean that Alan needed to return to the Hartanto House to take care of some matters.

Lilia looked around the ward, making sure that there was nothing more she needed to do. Then she got up and grabbed Jean's hand. She pulled the man out of the ward.

Once Jean closed the door behind him, Lilia leaned against the corridor's wall and took a deep breath. Her beautiful face was clearly tired.

Jean immediately pulled his wife into his arms. If possible, he wanted to take Lilia home to rest. However, Lilia seemed reluctant to leave Merry alone in the hospital to look after Chris. Jean then landed a light kiss on Lilia's forehead.

"Aren't you tired? How about we go home and rest for a while?" Jean proposed, even though he knew Lilia would reject it.

Lilia allowed herself to lean against Jean's body and closed her eyes for a moment. After a fight with Sasha, she went straight to the hospital and comforted Merry while the girl was being frantical about Chris' current state. No wonder Lilia felt mentally exhausted. Even so, she shook her head stubbornly.

"I am alright. I just didn't think that Merry had a romantic relationship with Brother Chris," Lilia answered. For her, this was more surprising than Sasha and Tom's engagement!

Jean was silent for a few seconds. He was trying to decide if he needed to tell Lilia the truth. Normally, Jean would not interfere in other people's romantic relationships. But Merry was like a younger sister to Lilia, and that woman must be worried about her sister.

"There is no such relationship. Chris doesn't have the courage to confess his feelings," Jean talked smack of his friend mercilessly, and if Chris had heard his words just now, he would have cursed at him.

"Huh? Brother Chris hasn't confessed his feelings to Merry yet?" Lilia was shocked. She thought the two of them were open and honest with each other. "But I think Merry should also have feelings for Brother Chris,"

"Are you sure Merry sees Chris as a man? What if she only sees Chris as a reliable older brother?"

Jean's words left Lilia speechless. It seemed plausible! Even though Merry was twenty years old, she still looked too innocent to think about love.

Seeing Lilia thinking about this matter with a serious face, Jean let out a long sigh. "Don't make it difficult for yourself to think about this. This was something only Merry can determine by herself."

Just like what Jean said to Clifford just now, Merry hadn't found out Chris's true feelings so she had the opportunity to choose another man.

Both Chris and Merry came from highly respected families. Plus, they were raised like cousins. If Chris was really going to be with Merry, it would surely stir a bloody storm. Samuel would probably be the toughest and most difficult hurdle for Chris.

Towards evening, Lilia was still in the ward to accompany Merry. The sky was getting darker and she could not stay any longer. There would be a live broadcast tomorrow, so Lilia would have to hurry back to the Lakeside Villa first to make some preparations. Even so, Lilia really felt uncomfortable leaving Merry alone.

The young woman had slept for two hours, which made her face look fresher. However, Merry's body still felt weak. She leaned on Lilia with a lazy expression.

At this time, Jean and Alan? had returned from the Hartanto family and were sitting on the sofa near the window. The two men discussed in low voices. Lilia looked at Merry and asked, "How many days can you stay in Indonesia this time?"

Hearing that question, Merry frowned. She raised her head and looked at her with a dissatisfied expression.

"Three days," Merry murmured reluctantly.

When Merry called Jean and asked for his help, the man said he would give Merry only three days. After that, Jean would immediately send her back to the United States.

Even though Merry felt that three days was too short, she did not dare disobey Jean's words. After all, she returned to Indonesia secretly. If Jean hadn't helped her, Merry would have been found by her father. And when that happened, Samuel wouldn't stop nagging her!

Lilia nodded while holding back a smile. She saw Merry's tired expression and offered, "Do you want to go back to Lakeside Villa with me to rest? It won't be too late to come back here tomorrow after you feel more refreshed,"

When Lilia finished speaking, Merry shook her head without thinking. "No, I want to accompany Brother Chris in the hospital!" She said firmly.

Her words unknowingly caught Alan's attention. In the middle of his conversation with Jean, Alan stole a glance at Merry. Since when did this young woman have a special relationship with his cousin?

When Lilia saw Merry insist, she didn't say another word. Lilia just warned, "Then don't hang around the hospital alone. I'll have Clifford stay here to keep you company, so you can tell him what you need."

Merry happily agreed to Lilia's very simple order. Inadvertently, her gaze returned to Chris who was still lying motionless on the hospital bed. Merry muttered to herself, "If Brother Chris couldn't get up all the time, would he be like a vegetable?"

Hearing that, Alan choked and coughed violently. Couldn't Merry choose better words?!

Lilia was also stunned by Merry's words. She pinched the young woman's face and laughed. "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chris will definitely wake up,"

Merry leaned on Lilia in a spoiled manner and protested, "Who knows when Brother Chriss will wake up. I've been crying so much this afternoon, but he didn't react at all. He said to me that he would come back to me and accompany me, but it never happened! If Brother Chris doesn't wake up, I'll go back to school and live abroad forever!"

Without Merry realizing it, her voice was getting higher and higher as she poured out her frustration. Then, the ticking sound on the vital sign detector gradually became fast.

Everyone followed the voice and saw Chris slowly open his eyes. Before anyone could react, they heard Chris's voice, which was very hoarse and slow, "Merry..,! Hiroshi! How dare ... you...!"

Alan was sitting beside Chris and stared at him with a dumbfounded face. This was so wonderful! Chris got up from his coma! He exceeded everyone's expectations!

The alarm sound from the detector had stabilized. Alan rushed to the hospital's bed and pressed the call button on the nurse's desk.

He turned and looked at Chris who was struggling to open his eyes on the hospital bed. Alan approached the man and waved before his eyes.. "Chris, are you really up?" He asked incredulously.
