His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1215

However, for Nick the company he got that evening was rather best-be-avoided and embarrassing for him; all the more because he was not even expecting this impromptu rendezvous.

The evening went by as usual. Nick frittered through the time watching the sky as it changed into a beautiful pallet of colors at the dusk—ultimately blending it all into a peaceful star-studded black night sky. Soon, it was dinnertime. Nick got down from his bed and walked to the restroom. When he came out, he spotted Cassie standing in the ward waiting for him with an insulated lunch box in her hand.

'She has brought me dinner. I remember this lunch box. She brought me the chicken soup in it. She must have cooked dinner for me, ' he speculated inside.

He heaved a deep and suppressed sigh. He approached the bed and sat down on its edge pretending to be oblivious of the fact that Cassie cooked dinner for him. He remained quiet as Cassie took the food out from the lunch box and set the food on the table in front of him.

"You're going to eat steamed pork ribs and steamed fish for dinner. Light food is good for your recovery..." Cassie smiled as she piled the food on the dinner plate and served it to Nick.

Nick remained silent observing those dishes. 'It turns out my assumption is true.

It looks more like a home-made meal than the take-out food sold outside or which I ate from the canteen before, ' he introspected. It was light food, but the smell was tempting. Nick began to feel hungry at the sight of the delectable in front of him. The moment, the food was set in front of him, he did not even look up at Cassie for a single moment. All he wanted to do was dig in and he did so.

He relished each and every bite of the home cooked food. When Cassie saw the satisfied look on his face as he ate the food, a soothing smile broke on her face. She watched him intently. Although she didn't utter a word, her gaze was soft and obsessive as if she was confessing her love to him through her eyes.

No matter how much Nick might have liked the food prepared by Cassie, the lovelorn look on her face made him uncomfortable. In fact, he tried hard to resist his impulse to throw Cassie out of the ward. Enjoying the palatable food, he kept telling himself, 'It's okay. Cassie is my nursing assistant. She is just doing her job.

I will pay an extra salary for those meals after I am discharged from the hospital.'

He avoided eye contact with Cassie as much as he could and took deep breathes to calm himself down slowly.

After dinner, as Cassie was clearing the table, Nick got out of the bed silently and walked out of the ward. Cassie hastened to clear the table and followed right after him. Nick walked out of his ward and came to the garden area. Cassie walked right beside him.

In fact, Nick had refused her to keep him company, but she insisted on escorting him. She said that she was afraid to let him walk alone in the evening.

Since Cassie persisted, he just allowed her to follow him.

It was a starry night and the garden was enveloped by tranquility. The expansive ground in front of the medical ward was washed by moonlight. A few patients were taking a stroll on the pavement line with low height manicured bushes on both sides. On one side you could see the hospital ward and on the other side the well-maintained garden area. Everything seemed to be in perfect harmony. There was a peaceful silence except for some frogs croaking and sometimes the grasshoppers chirping from here and there. Their presence made the night more beautiful.

Cassie was in a good mood. She smiled inwardly as she thought, 'He ate the food I made for him and he loved it. Although he is still indifferent to me, I yearn for nothing as long as he doesn't push me away.'

She was thrilled and overjoyed at the thought that she was going to spend several days with Nick alone and he would eat the food she made for him.

As she imagined the wonderful moments of her and Nick, a familiar voice came from ahead abruptly.

"Hey, Cassie. Didn't you ask our head nurse for leave? What are you doing here?"

Cassie snapped out of her reverie. Surprised, she raised her head and saw Fanny who was standing across the lawn grinning at her with a playful expression.

A dash of embarrassment flashed across her face. As she detected a touch of teasing in her voice, she surmised that her colleague must have caught sight of Nick beside her.

"Wow, look who is here. Well, I see. He is Nick Ge, isn't he?" Fanny went on in a raised voice as she cast a glance at the awkward Nick deliberately.

With a tensed look, Cassie winked at her, dashed forward and pulled her aside.

"What are you doing, Fanny? Can you do me a favor? Please stop making fun of me and walk away quietly. If you do, I will not forget your kindness," Cassie whispered in a pleading voice.

Fanny chuckled. Turning around to steal a glance at Nick who was standing behind her, she pretended to whine, "Be honest with me. Did you plan to take care of Nick when I told you that he has been re-admitted to the hospital? How could you keep it from me? Are we still friends or not?"
