Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757 Here To Stay

Averi knew that when Beata was acting cute, she could make people feel soft-hearted towards her. Beate was quite skilled.
However, for the sake of Beata's health, even though she wanted nothing more than indulging Beata's request, she stood firm, saying "Yes, you must take your medicine."
Beate pouted sadly, realizing that this time Averi wouldn't give into any of hers requests.
Beata couldn't dissuade Averi after all, and could only obediently put the pill into her mouth.
Averi prepared a large glass of water for her, and Beata just took a sip.
After swallowing the pill down, she refused to drink any more.
Averi was helpless, but in the end she didn't force her.
She asked, "Stomach still not feeling well? Do you want to take another indigestion tablet?"
Beata shook her head and said, "No need, no need."
In her whole life, she never wanted to hear the words "indigestion tablet" again.
She was simply ashamed.
She was so greedy that she needed to eat this thing. What could be more embarrassing than this?
However, there was one thing to say that the pancake made by Kelvin was really delicious.
Seeing that Beata finished taking the medicine, Averi went back to the room to catch up on sleep with her.
Actually, Beata couldn't sleep right now.
However, she also knew that Averi took care of her all night, so she was very touched and also sorry.
Since she and her elder brother were the only ones left in the family, only her brother had taken care of her like this.
This was the first time that Beata was taken care of by others like this.
In Beata's heart, she completely regarded Averi as her family and relative.
Even though she was little bit selfish and hoped to have a development that will make her happy.
However, for Beata, the most important thing was that she wanted Averi to be happy.
As for the result she expected, Beata actually didn't dare to think about it.
It was because her brother was a bad guy.
She didn't know if her brother embarrassed Averi when he found out she was sick last night.
Beata was lying on the bed, motionless, but her eyes were open, staring at the ceiling and lost in her own thoughts.
Averi seemed to be extremely tired, and told Beata that she can wake her up if she needed anything and then fell into a deep sleep.
Beata was afraid of waking Averi up, so she never dared to make any big moves.
She played her fingers, thinking about how she could get what she wanted without making things too embarrassing.
However, Beata, who had no such experience, could only draw one conclusion.
This kind of thing depended on fate.
Whether she can have that kind of fate was really not certain.
The sound of Averi's shallow breathing came from the room, and it was certain that she was really asleep.
Beata didn't know if it was Averi or the effect of the medicine, so drowsiness also swept over her, and she fell asleep after a while.
She had a dream.
In her dream, there was a wedding.
The main characters were the two people she cared about most.
Beata cried and laughed at the wedding, feeling truly happy.
She couldn't describe the feeling - it was like going through a long century before reaching that ending.
Beata was awakened by a ringing phone.
She quickly opened her eyes and reached for her phone, hanging up on the call immediately. Then she nervously looked at Averi to make sure she wasn't disturbed before getting out of bed quietly to answer the call.
It was River calling, naturally asking when she would be coming home.
But Beata didn't want to go home so soon - besides, Averi hadn't even woken up yet! She couldn't just sneak away while Averi slept. That would be weird.
River was left speechless by Beata's reasoning but asked if she was hungry anyway.
Beata wasn't hungry at all. In fact, she felt full, but then had an idea, "River," she said with a smile, "I'm actually a little hungry now... could you bring me some food from the Autumn Petal?"
River's expression must have been priceless because even without seeing him right now, Beata could imagine it perfectly well.
But still... she pushed her luck, "You don't have to come right away though! Averi might not wake up for another couple hours or so... why don't you come later? We can all eat together."
River had no words left for his sister's antics but knew he couldn't help spoiling her anyway, "Wait for me," he said before hanging up.
Beata collapsed onto the couch with laughter as soon as they hung up. How clever!
Of course, this was as far as Beata could take things – anything more obvious than this would be too risky for her liking!
Otherwise, she was certain that once her brother caught on to something, he would find a way to skin her alive.
No matter how brave Beata was, she still feared her brother.
This was a long-standing struggle and she wasn't in a rush to deal with it right now.
For the time being, with no external enemies present, Beata thought it best to adopt a conciliatory policy and take things slow.
Beata estimated that Averi would wake up in another two or three hours.
It was all due to her lack of understanding of Averi that led to this misunderstanding.
In fact, Averi slept straight through until nightfall.
River didn't show up until two and a half hours after hanging up the phone call.
To make matters worse, he ended up waiting for over three more hours after arriving.
Beata sat on the couch watching her phone while occasionally stealing glances at River.
"River," Beata said suddenly, "you don't actually have to wait for Averi to wake up with me. We can eat by ourselves when she does."
River couldn't help but laugh at what Beata said as he leaned back against the couch armrests and tapped his fingers lightly against them.
"How come? Are you planning on staying here tonight?" River asked teasingly.
"Is that not okay?" Beata asked tentatively.
River gave Beata an expression which meant "don't push your luck."
"River," Beata wrinkled her nose slightly. "there's really no difference between staying one more night or leaving early tomorrow morning. There's no need for you be so harsh."
"I'm being harsh? Do you want me treat you like royalty instead?" River replied sarcastically.
"Be careful not get too full of yourself."
It had been at least twenty years since River had been this patient and good-tempered towards anyone else before.
After thinking about it some more though, River realized he'd already spoiled his sister too much this time around.
He didn't want any further challenges from her either.
Beata sighed inwardly, knowing full well how far she could push him without going too far.
She muttered under breath. "But there really isn't any difference."
She'd been sick yesterday but River hadn't even bothered carrying her home.
Now that she was feeling better today, it wasn't like she would fall ill again anytime soon.
What was there left to worry about?
With just one glance, River knew exactly what his sister was thinking.
He couldn't be bothered saying anything else.
The girl had clearly lost all sense of reason and seemed convinced this place was the only option left for her anyway.
