Alice stared at Henrick's serious expression in a daze.
She really couldn't bring herself to feel any ounce of anger when he had this expression on his face.
"Humph! We'll talk about it when you actually manage to get me. You're all talk and no actions," she huffed. She wasn't like any other women who would fall for sweet talk.
Henrick thought for a moment before he sent a message to Josue. Although he had trouble with his right arm, he managed to type out the words correctly.
"Josue, bring a rose with you when you come over in the afternoon," the text read.
Josue replied quickly.
"May Mr. Henrick successfully win over your wife's heart."
Henrick fell silent as he wondered, just where did Josue get the idea that Henrick had succeeded in his pursuit after Alice?
However, the two words "your wife" pleased him a lot.
He smiled and glanced at Alice, who was eating with her head lowered. He then replied to Josue, "Remember, roses should only be the best, freshest, with dewdrops on top of the petals."
"Mr. Henrick, there would be no dewdrops as it is already noon. Are you trying to make things more difficult for me?" came the reply from Josue.
"Regardless, I only want the prettiest flower for her. My Allie deserves only the best."
"Mr. Henrick, I'm so jealous!"
Only then did Henrick put down his phone with a smile.
Just then, the doctor entered the ward for a routine examination.
There was no trace of blood oozing out of his wound. After the examination, he put Henrick on the drip.
Alice then gave him a quick wipe down. The weather was extremely hot, and although the air conditioner in the ward was set to the lowest temperature, Henrick was still sweating all over.
After wiping him down several times, Alice couldn't help but blurt out, "What are you, made entirely from water? How are you sweating so profusely?"
Henrick glanced at her as he answered, "Allie, Lemmon City is much hotter than River City. It's so uncomfortable here."
Alice looked at him and replied in a cold voice, "And there you were talking about living here as my husband. Seeing that you couldn't even handle this much, how are you going to live here for the rest of your life?"
Upon hearing this, Henrick felt a little anxious. "Allie, give me some time. I will get used to it." His tone was very soft and firm.
He could adapt to the climate in other countries, and he could also adapt to the climate here.
Looking at the concern on his face, Alice's heart softened again.
"I've really lost to you!" She realized that she would probably have to devote the rest of her life to Henrick.
He smiled at her weakly in return. He felt really dizzy and wanted to talk to Alice, but in the end, he couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell asleep.
Only then did Alice let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he needed a lot of rest. Maybe he was taking her feelings into consideration, so he had been holding on.
Henrick really did put in a lot of effort for the people whom he cared for.
In her eyes, Henrick treated the people he loved with the utmost care.
When Henrick woke up again, it was already the evening. He felt well-rested.
The moment that he opened her eyes, he saw her mother's loving face. He blinked several times, wondering if it was a dream. Was it really his mother?
"What's wrong? Ricky, is there anything wrong?" Eden looked at her son nervously. After she arrived at the hospital, she learned about her son's condition from the doctor and fell into in a bad mood.
