Chapter 122
I went back into the ward to see Javier. “Didn’t you say you’re going to get me water?” Javier asked.
I smiled awkwardly and said, “Oops, sorry I forgot. I’ll get it now.”
Javier gestured me to come with his fingers and said, “Nah, come here need to talk to you.”
I sat in front of him, letting him play with my fingers. He asked, “Did that scare you?”
I nodded. “Yeah, you scared me, please don’t ever do that again, I don’t deserve it.”
“Why not? I think you’re worth it.”
I shook my head. “No, you have parents and friends, if something happens to you, they would be very sad. I have no one, so if I died, nobody would be sad.”
Javier hugged me and said, “Don’t even think about that, you have me, if you die, I would be very sad.”
I couldn’t control myself and cried, “Javier, why are you being so nice to
me?”
He hugged me tightly and said, “Because if I don’t treat you well, nobody would.” He said it, the truth. If he didn’t be nice to me, there’s nobody in this world who would. But we were just friends, does this mean we were slowly crossing the line. Deep down, wanted to ignore the rules and lines……
He hugged me, while I hugged him back by his waist. I knew I was being shameless, I knew I shouldn’t be like that, but I still refused to reject the warmth this guy gave me.
The door suddenly opened. We looked up and saw a nurse leading a man in. yes, that man was Lance Mason.
When he saw us in each other’s arms, his face turned cold, I could even see anger and hatred in his eyes.
This made me even more sure that he was the one who hired someone to hit me.
“Time for meds.” The nurse said.
Lance walked in front of us and asked, “Are you and your friend okay?”
Javier stared at me, I was afraid that he might recognize Lance. Lance is a famous businessman.
“Are you dating a few guys at the same time? So open huh.” Lance said sarcastically. But it did seem like I was the one hugging Javier first.
