Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 159

Angela frowned and did not realize that she drew up. She stopped looking at him and looked down.

She looked as usual, but only she herself knew that every cell in her body was tense, not because she was nervous about being watched by someone she liked, but because she thought she was a rabbit that dared not slacken in the presence of a beast like a wolf.

"Angela." James suddenly called her name.

Her heart did a complete somersault when she heard his voice. She subconsciously took a few steps back in a wary stance, "Yes."

"You..."

James looked at her posture like a defending hedgehog. He did not say what he originally thought. "Pour me a cup of tea."

Angela lowered her head with a sneer expression in her eyes. She replied timidly,

"I'm sorry Mr. James. There’s no tea in the hospital."

He came to the hospital just to give her an order? Interesting. He never stopped humiliating her.

"...Pour me a cup of..."

James paused for a moment before speaking, and then stopped. "Forget it."

He stood up, walked over to the table and poured a glass of water. He picked up the glass and drank a small half of the water. Then he set it down. The glass was stained with sweat from his palms.

Angela glanced at him and licked her dry lips before sitting back down on the hospital bed with her head down.

She felt that James treated her...unusually these days. It was a feeling that she could not describe, like millions of ants spreading and climbing along her limbs, which made every cell in her body feel uncomfortable.

James kept looking at her after he put down the glass. He frowned for a while and then stretched the brows. His expression was complicated.

Neither of them spoke, and the ward was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. The atmosphere was awkward and a little eerie.

"What can I do for you, Mr. James?"

Angela kept her head down, but she could feel James looking her up and down. The hair on her back prickled, but she finally could not help but ask.

James took a few steps towards the chair and sat down, opening his mouth several times before asking.

"Two years ago..."

He stopped after saying the words and frowned slightly.

He said just three words, and Angela’s face suddenly became pale.

Two years ago?

Did James want to learn more about the accident that she hit Jessica and broke her legs?

Or maybe he wanted to find out why she still contacted her brother and sister-in-law after she had break off with the Chante family?

"Do you think one should believe what he had seen?"

James put his right hand on the tabletop and knocked the table..

Not knowing what he meant by asking this, Angela said with her head bowed,

“I don’t know.”

"Yes or no? Answer me."

James looked up at her and asked her in a louder voice.

He ordered her again!

Angela clenched her fists tightly, and there were resentment and disgust in her eyes.

She snorted and looked up at him, "Mr. James, you are smart. You don’t need me to answer such a simple question."

"...Even the smartest man is still an ordinary human being."

James paused for a moment and added meaningfully, "An ordinary person will have all sorts of questions."

Angela felt that his sentiment was simply ridiculous. She clenched her fist tightly and tried to suppress the hatred in her heart. "Mr. James, it’s too modest to say you are an ordinary person. Except for living forever, you are almost able to do everything in the world."
