At this time, Evelyn could hardly remain in bed. She felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over, but she still tried to pull herself together and said, "Give me the phone. I'll call Lucas..."
Huston was enraged that she didn't care about herself. His face darkened and he said sternly, "Evelyn, I'll say it again. Don't move."
"I'm fine..."
"Your head is so badly hurt, and your face is bruised, but you are telling me that you're fine?" His accumulated uneasiness and worry at this moment were ignited because she didn't care about herself at all. He was out of breath. He blamed her and felt distressed for her at the same time. "You think you're so lucky that you could escape death every time, so you don’t take it seriously? Do you know how worried I was when I heard about the car accident? Have you ever thought about how depressed I was when I saw you lying weakly on the bed? Wanna make a call? Okay, take your mobile phone yourself."
As he spoke, he threw the phone on the bed frame and let go of her hand. He looked away, as if saying, “You could do whatever you want.”
Evelyn didn't expect him to suddenly get so angry. Staring blankly at his cold face, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the phone within reach. She could get it as long as she stretched her arm.
Her slender and pale fingertips moved, but she still did not take it.
She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Besides, I'm worried about Lucas..."
"What are you worried about? As long as I'm here, you just have to worry about your health." In the end, he couldn't bear to annoy her. He pointed at her and immediately turned around; his eyes full of concern. "I'm not angry with you. I'm just... too scared."
They had come through so much already. Every time when things got better, there would be twists and turns. Now, if something unexpected happened again, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
Burnout.
