A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 82

Giving Alina a meaningful glance, Wilson's face was covered with guilt. His gaze was determined as he steeled his resolve. Wilson muttered, "Alina, you must come out of this stronger in the future. We are husband and wife. I've promised that I will take good care of you and take responsibility for your future. So, I am hoping that we can face our problems together, instead of you bearing all the burdens alone. At the very least, don't get hurt because of me. I wouldn't want to see that happen.

"I want to see you smile without trying to hide your happiness. I don't understand it myself, but I like to see you beaming widely, with sincere and heartfelt delight."

At that moment, Alina's body twitched. Wilson was shocked by the sudden movement and asked hurriedly, "Alina, how are you feeling?" 

Alina opened her eyes, but they were glazed over. After a long while, she managed to squeeze some words out of her throat. "I'm thirsty!"  

"Okay, I'll get you some water right away!" Wilson poured some water for Alina nervously. Then he helped her up in his embrace and brought the water to her lips. 

Wilson looked at Alina, who was gulping down the water thirstily. He reminded her in a gentle voice, "Drink slowly so that you don't get choked!" 

Alina finished the last drop of water in one gulp. She had never been so thirsty before this. 

"How are you feeling now?" Wilson put down the glass and looked at Alina, his eyes wide with concern.

Looking at the nervousness in Wilson's eyes, Alina's heart skipped a beat. How long had it been since a man took care of her like this?

Even though he was a scumbag, Wilson really cared for her wellbeing!

She nodded and forced a smile. "Well, I'm fine."

"Lie down and get some rest." Wilson gently set her head down on the pillow and asked kindly, "Are you hungry?"

Alina nodded again. "Yes, I'm a little hungry!"

Wilson stood up and immediately called Bill. He urged impatiently, "I've just asked you to get some breakfast. Why are you so slow? Hurry up!"

Bill was speechless at Wilson's sudden phone call. 

"F*ck, I should've just smashed my phone into bits!" Bill cursed. 

Fifteen minutes later, Bill came back with their breakfast.

Ignoring Bill's annoyed expression, Wilson took the bag from his hand. He placed it on Alina's bedside table and took out her breakfast of porridge and bread rolls. After that, he helped Alina up, placed a pillow behind her as support, and carefully fed Alina small mouthfuls of the porridge.

Bill was taken aback at Wilson's sudden change. He had never seen such a caring and considerate side of Wilson before. 

Sure enough, this was the power of love!

Bill couldn't help but think of what had happened the night before yesterday. His cheeks blushed red involuntarily. What a shame that he was the one who got taken advantage of!

Alina's fever subsided after she had completed her drip. Bill excused himself naturally and left Wilson's apartment.

Alina tried to get up from bed and go to work, but Wilson held her down. "No, you are too weak. Bill mentioned that you should stay in bed for at least one more day." 

"But I really don't want to be lying on the bed all the time!" Alina retorted unwillingly.  

Therefore, Wilson found a compromise. "Alright then, you can get up after lunch. I'll ask Jayden to come over in the afternoon to teach you self-defence."

If Simon saw Wilson acting like this, he would be shocked. When did Mr. Wilson ever compromise? He was a domineering and overbearing man, in every decision, it's his way or the highway.

"That's great!" Alina smiled and nodded.

Wilson continued, "Let's go and pick a gift for Grandfather tomorrow. Three days later, it would be his birthday. Can we overnight at the Wilson Family's estate the night after tomorrow?" 

He posed this in a questioning tone. Wilson never had the habit of asking for permission in the 28 years of his life.

"Of course!" Alina nodded. Either way, she had planned to stay at the Wilson Family's estate to accompany Wilson's grandfather for a few days. It didn't matter whether it was sooner or later by a day. 

At the thought of choosing a gift for Lincoln, she started thinking of what price point of a gift would be appropriate for him. 

When she took out her phone, she was surprised to see that the Scott Group's share price had increased again. It had hit its limit-up within a day. Alina looked at Wilson with admiration in her eyes. "Wilson, the share price had hit its limit again." 

"Yep," Wilson smiled and said in a nonchalant tone, "Today is merely the second day. We will hit the stock price limit at least three more times. Remember to buy in!" 

"Alright." Alina nodded. She firmly believed in Wilson's prediction. She immediately called Rosie, reminding her to sell off the Scott Group's shares once the stock price had soared. 

However, Rosie sounded nervous over the phone. "Alina, please help me ask for a few days off. I have something to deal with, so I can't come to work for the time being. I will remember your financial advice. See you around!"

When Rosie hung up in a hurry, Alina muttered to herself with the phone in her hand, "What happened to her? She's acting so mysteriously. Could it be that she's looking for Damon again?"

Wilson's eyes twinkled with a smile. Although she was naive, he loved her genuine innocence.

He took the remote control and turned on the television. "Take good care of yourself and rest in bed. Don't play with your phone too much, just watch some television for a while. I'll go to the study to deal with some work, we'll go out for lunch at noon." 

He didn't notice how naturally he spoke to Alina with affection and love. 

Alina nodded obediently. "Okay!"
