Once the light was turned on, the entire room lit up at an instant.
“You’re hungry,” came Jared’s gentle voice.
“Yeah.” Nicole’s cheeks reddened as she replied shyly.
She had sustained that injury before she could even have her lunch, so she was truly hungry now.
“Let’s eat.” Jared helped Nicole up into a sitting position and pulled the table over, setting the dinner up for her quickly.
The aroma wafted over, and Nicole’s stomach growled even louder in response.
Jared smiled as he handed her a spoon. “Eat up.”
“You too.” Nicole said, knowing he had been here with her all along and probably had not had dinner either.
Then, they went on to eat their scrumptious dinner together. Initially, Nicole was sulking due to her injuries, but now, with Jared beside her, she began feeling better.
After eating their fill, Nicole’s mood had completely she said, “Indeed, good food is the best remedy.”
Jared raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Just good food? If
Nicole smiled as she gently cupped Jared’s cheeks with her hands. “A handsome man is an even better remedy.”
Jared leaned closer to her and kissed her in the lips. “Will this be better for your recovery then?”
With flushed cheeks, Nicole playfully scolded Jared, “Okay, you’re being too cheesy.”
“My wife seems dissatisfied, so I don’t think that has done Jared said as he leaned closer to Nicole, attempting to steal another affectionate kiss.
Nicole avoided his kiss while she laughed. “Stay away from me. You’re just acting like a punk now.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure my wife is satisfied,” Jared continued to tease her.
“Help, someone is bullying a patient!” Nicole yelled, pretending to call for help.
Amidst the flirting, three knocks emanated from the door, causing the room to return to its previous state of silence.
Nicole looked at Jared in surprise, as if she was saying, “Did someone really come to help?”
Jared straightened up, and in a deep, calm voice, he said,” Come in.”
The door opened, and Lawrence entered with a bouquet of flowers.
Nicole’s lips twitched, feeling extremely embarrassed.’ Lawrence has probably heard our goofy conversation. Oh my, this can’t be happening. How can I even face anyone now?’
“Seems like you’re fine.” Lawrence approached Nicole and handed her the bouquet. “A beauty deserves flowers. These are for you.”
“Thank you,” Nicole replied, forcing herself to accept the bouquet.
Before she could grab it, however, the bouquet was already in Jared’s hands, and he casually placed it aside.
“Thank you for visiting my wife. She’s not badly injured, but she still needs plenty of rest.” Jared butted in, not showing any signs of embarrassment.
He appeared calm and composed as he discreetly indicated for Lawrence to leave.
Lawrence, on the other hand, had understood the hint, but he did not want to leave, especially not now.
“I’m glad you’re okay.” Lawrence stood by the bedside, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at Nicole. “I rushed over as soon as I heard about the accident. I’ve been really worried on my way here.”
