Chapter 172
Nolan sat upright slowly, looked at her, and enunciated word by word, “Feed me.”
If this was the past, Maisie would have placed down the food tray and said to him, “Suit yourself!”
However, she did not say anything this time. Instead, she sat next to the bed and personally spooned the food to him. She felt rather shy as he stared at her from such a close distance, so she explained, “I’m only doing this reluctantly for Waylon.”
Nolan gulped down the food she fed and stared at her without looking away while cracking a smile.
He suddenly realized that it was rather nice for him to be injured.
When he was done with the meal, Maisie put the food tray away. Nolan gazed at her as he leaned on the pillow and rested. After noticing that she stayed, he said, “Are you staying to keep me company?”
“Do you think I’m doing this willingly?” She would never stay had he not gotten hurt trying to save Waylon.
Nolan narrowed his eyes and suddenly tugged away the blanket, revealing the empty space next to him. H e patted on the bed. “I’m lending the half side of my bed reluctantly for you to sleep tonight.”
Maisie was rendered speechless.
Nolan continued in all apparent seriousness. “I’m an injured patient. There’s nothing I can do to resist if you were to do something to me.”
Maisie was lost for words.
‘Screw you! Why didn’t you just die from the venomous snake’s bite, huh!?”
Maisie refused to get into the bed with him regardless, so Nolan did not force it on her either. He then turned to his side and slept.
Maisie leaned against the wall and looked out the window. It seemed that she would really have to spend the rest of the night sitting here. Perhaps it was the cold, and she shuddered and curled up to sleep on the sofa by the side.
She had not slept well the previous night and was fatigued, so she fell asleep soon.
Nolan opened his eyes slowly and turned over to look at the woman curled up on the sofa.
He could not help thinking to himself about his way of captivating her heart. He wondered whether he was doing a bad job or she was ignorant.
Perhaps, he should spend some time getting to know her.
Noticing that she was shivering in the cold, Nolan got up from the bed and walked over to pick her up back to the bed.
