Linda hated that Nicholas pretended to be cold and aloof, hated that he did not explain a thing, and hated that he could love her in so many ways, yet he chose the stupidest one!
Nicholas jolted, and his wound hurt at that moment. He had stayed too long under the strong sun and felt rather weak. He paled further, and large beads of sweat rolled off his forehead.
Zephyr instantly went to check on him. Nicholas’ wound had probably opened up as blood seeped from the gauze. Cordelia ran to get the nurse.
Linda crouched down before him nervously and held his hand. “Nicholas… how are you feeling? Is… Is it serious?”
A knife wound was actually nothing to Nicholas. He had already been shot countless times. He was pained by what Linda said and her gaze when she looked at him. He was pained because he did not know how to defend himself and how to get her forgiveness. He did not know if they could still return to how they were in the past.
“Nicholas!” Linda cried harder, thinking he was in a critical state since he was silent.
Cordelia found a nurse, and they wheeled Nicholas back to the hospital ward. He was fine after his wound was redressed.
Linda stayed next to him during the process, keeping her eyes on him and gripping his hand tightly.
Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged a smile.
Cordelia said softly, “Honey, I think Linda won’t be leaving today. I’ll buy her food and supplies before we go home.”
Zephyr nodded.
After Cordelia left, the nurse asked Linda, “Are you the patient’s family?”
Linda was caught by surprise. Nicholas, who was lying in bed, nodded fervently before she could answer.
“You have to watch out.” The nurse frowned. “It’s so hot outside. How could you wheel the patient out in the sun? It’s easy to sweat when the temperature is high, and it does nothing for his recovery when the sweat seeps into his wound!”
“Oh…” Linda nodded in a daze.
