"And then..." Jack asked hesitantly.
Wesley narrowed his eyes, "You do not need to worry about this matter, leave it to Rian."
Jack asked no more about it, "Ms. Jones has left the hospital. She doesn't know that it is Miss Clark who needs the blood transfusion. She and Colin seem to know each other well."
Louisa was the nominal fiancée of Wesley. If she messed up with Colin, there would turn out a trouble till the time.
How could Wesley not understand the meaning of his words? He looked peaceful and looked back at Harriet, said lightly, "Well."
He didn't seem to care about it. Jack had no reason to care it since he reacted like that, so withdrew from the ward.
It became quiet again. Wesley stood up, tucked the corner of the quilt for Harriet, turned around and left the ward.
Harriet woke up a few hours later.
She saw Colin's young handsome face.
"Harriet, you finally woke up!" Colin took her hand happily.
Harriet was just thinking Wesley's back when he was going out with a pistol. Where was him?
Did he get hurt? That gangster was so cruel. No, no. Wesley was such a scourge, and he would never die easily.
Although comforting herself in her heart, her chest seemed to be pressed against a mountain. She felt she was some breathless. She had poor complexion. Colin was worried about her so much and he turned around, running to call the nurse.
There was no way to be at peace for a moment for her.
Harriet put away the quilt and wanted to get out of bed. The door was opened and a tall, slender figure showed up.
"Wesley, you're fine!" Her voice immediately became clearer, clearly mixed with joy.
Wesley had been dealing with some business affairs in the next ward. Hearing Colin's voice outside, he knew she was awake, so he came to see her.
"Yes." He looked straight at her with his deep dark eyes which were hard to be ignored. "Do you feel better?"
Was he worried about her?
Harriet's heartbeat was racing inexplicably, but it was normal for him to care about her as she was hurt because of him…
She lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at him quietly. His face was ruddy. Although there were bandages on his body, he should be fine as he walked freely.
She felt relieved but still asked him, "Is your injury dealt with properly?"
"I am fine." Wesley replied and poured a glass of water for her, handing it to her mouth.
She hadn't drunk water for a long time and her lips were pretty dry.
Harriet froze for a moment, feeling that she was a little flattered.
She stretched her arms and the pain made her frown.
Wesley's eyes got darker when he saw her action. He moved the glass and ordered her, "Have some water."
Harriet pursed her lips and stared at the cup, then opened her mouth mechanically.
Wesley cooperated with her and fed her with water.
"Grumbling..." Then, her stomach made some noise.
Harriet lowered her head with embarrassment. She hadn't eaten much food at noon and she had eaten nothing because of the accident last night. By now, her stomach had been empty.
"More water?" His voice seemed to be no different from usual, but if she listened carefully, she could hear a little different gentleness.
Harriet shook her head. There was no food in her stomach. Drinking water would only make her hungrier.
Wesley put the glass down and left the ward without saying anything.
He just left like that?
Harriet felt somehow upset.
Colin called a doctor to check his sister, and happened to see Wesley coming out of the ward, "May I ask who you are?"
This was the first time he met Wesley. He didn't like to watch news and did not know much about business, so he did not know Wesley even if he was famous in the upper class.
Wesley opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but he suddenly stopped as he was a little curious about how Harriet would introduce him.
"I am Jack's boss."
"Ah, it's you. I am literally thank you for saving my sister." Jack fabricated a car accident and shaped Wesley into Harriet's life saver.
