Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 38

Alexander took the initiative to kiss her!

He indeed disliked Andrew, but what he dislike more was to see her with Andrew. Even if she was just his nominal wife with a title, he was still unwilling to see her get along with Andrew.

...

“Bang! Bang!”

“Missus, are you awake?” Lara’s voice rang out at the bedroom door. It was not until then did Allison open her eyes slowly.

Taking a deep breath, she looked around the dimly lit room, unable to tell what time it was. She only recalled that Alexander carried her into the room. Then she couldn’t recall anything happened after that...

“Missus...”

Allison got up and answered Lara. She put on a nightgown and turned on the light. The man had gone from the bedroom. She silently sighed with relief. If he were still there when she woke up, it would be so embarrassing.

She walked to the door and opened it. “Lara, where is Alexander?”

“The young master went out. He said he had something urgent to deal with. He won’t come back home tonight.”

He wouldn’t be home tonight... Allison kept silent for a moment. Suddenly she thought of a name. A moment later, she shook her head, trying to shake the name off from her brain.

If that was not the case, she might have misunderstood Alexander. If he was unwilling to let her know, she’d better not to make wild guess.

Meanwhile, Alexander was in a VIP ward of JH Hospital.

“Alexander, I really don’t want to stay here any longer. Please take me away... Take me away...” The woman lying on the bed looked pale and pitiful, and her body was as fragile as a piece of paper.

Alexander frowned deeply. Looking down at the woman who was holding him in distress, he reached out his hand to stroke her hair. “Elaine, I’ll take you away when you recover.”

Hearing his answer, Elaine trembled. She looked up at him, tears slid down her cheeks. Since her eyes welled up with tears, her light-colored pupils were like translucent cat’s eyes. “I can’t stay here even for a day. Alexander, please let me stay by your side. Even I could be with you for a day, I’d love to. Isn’t that good?”

Alexander frowned. He tried to convince her in a soft tone, “I’ll find a way to save you. Please be patient.” He was already working hard. In order to save her, he tried his best efforts. But now, it was not the time yet.

Lowering his head and holding up her palm-sized face, he said, “Elaine, you are not the only one suffering. I promise you’ll get better. Please give me more time. Trust me, OK?”

Sniffing, Elaine begged him with a whisper, “Could you come to see me more often in the future? You are always busy recently...”

“I promise you,” Alexander answered, stroking her cheek with his hand lovingly. “I’ll take you abroad a few days later for another advanced checkup. Promise me you’ll eat well and sleep well, OK?”

Elaine nodded and held him tighter. “As long as you are with me, I’ll be obedient.”

After coaxing the woman to bed, Alexander breathed with relief. He walked out from the ward slowly and stood in front of a window, lighting a cigarette.

Bernard waked up and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Parker, didn’t you quit smoking?”

Alexander slightly frowned. “I will, after Elaine’s surgery is done.” Elaine was the only woman who could make him quit smoking.
