Chapter 80
Cordy had just sent her text when a reply came almost instantly.
[Nope.]
Cordy could not help smiling.
It was as if John had been waiting for her text, and she could almost imagine the look on his face.
While her heart was not sent fluttering, her lips were still curling upward from habit.
She replied: [It’s late, and you’re a patient. Sleep early, wake up early.]
Once she was done, she called Walter to take her to the hospital.
She had no idea when it started, but she was not that stiff toward him now.
In the car, she was staring at the phone which never jingled.
He could really be petty sometimes.
After she arrived at the hospital, Cordy tried to be as quiet as she could as she entered John’s ward.
If he was obedient enough and fell asleep, she would rather not disturb him.
However, there was no one in the hospital bed within that dark bedroom.
Cordy was frowning when she suddenly heard movement from the bathroom, and she turned toward it just as the door suddenly swung open.
She was left staring at the man who was dripping wet stepping outside.
He was topless, his hair was drenched, and he only had a white towel around his waist that barely covered anything.
Cordy’s whole body stiffened.
She never expected to see John like this…
She could almost describe it as picturesque-she would not deny that he was easier on the eyes than the models she had worked with before.
John was surprised by her sudden arrival too.
He was under the impression that she was not coming after receiving her text, so he did not wait for her, taking a bath and preparing to go to bed instead.
As he watched her staring fixedly at his perfect figure, he smiled alluringly. “See anything you like, Ms. Sachs?”
Cordy came to her senses right then, her face flushing immediately.
She was actually staring so much at his body!
She quickly turned his back on him, though John’s mood had visibly improved.
Nonchalant, he stepped one foot out of the bathroom in his soaking wet slippers and immediately slipped.
Cordy immediately noticed the awkward angle of his posture, but she did not hesitate to rush forward and help him.
All she could think at that very moment was that she must stop him from falling because he was already injured.
It never occurred to her that John would be too heavy-that she could not help him regain his balance at all.
Hence, in the very next instant, both of them fell to the floor with a dull thud.
Cordy had tried to cushion his fall by positioning herself beneath John, because she was really afraid that he would get hurt again, but she did not expect him to shield her head and back with his hands so she would fall on him instead.
“Mr. Levine?!”
Both of them were startled as Randy suddenly opened the door with a loud bang.
Then, he stood at the doorway for a couple seconds, stiffening, before fleeing on the third.
My god… The boss had actually jumped the missus!
