Aurelia approached and felt it carefully. The bridge of Neil's nose was a little red. She pressed it lightly.
Neil was in pain, but his years of acting experience ensured he could control his expression. No matter how much it hurt, he could hold it in. Moreover, he was in a plight there. He had to keep up his character regardless…
Aurelia sighed and sat down next to him. Other than the faint sorrow in her pretty eyes, there was a determined faith. She was confident that Neil would wake up. He would not just abandon her.
She spoke softly to herself, "Uncle, you've been in bed for three days. You should be getting up, right?
"Dr. Irwin came yesterday. He said the surgery was a success and that the bullet didn't hit anything vital. You should be waking up after the surgery.
"But Dr. Irwin also said that the anesthesiologist probably wasn't aware during the surgery and gave you too much anesthetic. Hah, how could there be an anesthesiologist like that?
"Uncle, even if it's too much anesthetic, it's been three days now. You should really be waking up.
"You know what? Let's make a deal. Wake up this afternoon, okay? It's sunny today. I'll take you out after you wake up!"
Neil was hit with waves of sweet romance while listening to Aurelia. He really wanted to sit up right now and pull her into a hug with his uninjured hand and recklessly…
There was a subtle quirk in his lips.
Aurelia froze before she went closer to him, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Her warm puffs of breath brushed against Neil's face alongside her fragrance, making his heart beat faster. After a while, he heard the girl mutter, "Did I see it wrong?"
Neil stayed still without any change on his face.
If he were to star in Trinity's film now, the director would be surprised to discover that he was actually so talented at playing an unconscious patient.
Aurelia turned to move away.
