“Thank you.” Anastasia thanked Elliot.
“I’d have to punish you if I hear you say those words again.” As he tugged her arm, she fell into his arms, and shortly after, she felt his arms around her waist.
“There’s no need for you to thank me since that’s the least I can do for my fiancee.” He pecked on her red lips right after that.
Their public display of affection caught the attention of a few nurses that walked past them. All of them blushed as they were captivated by his domineering disposition, which they found mesmerizing. They were envious of Anastasia’s beauty and how lucky she was to end up with someone like Elliot. She must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to deserve him.
After Anastasia found out that they were being watched, she blushed as she buried
her head into his chest and covered her face using his suit.
As Elliot tilted his head down and looked at the girl in his arms, he couldn’t help but kiss the crown of her head. “Since your father is awake, we could discuss our marriage.”
“There’s no rush for that.” She blinked her eyes.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear. “But I can’t wait any longer.
Upon hearing his affectionate confession, she pursed her lips to hold her laughter. “There’s nothing you can do even if you’re impatient.”
“You’re heartless.” He sighed, feeling disappointed.
“Alright, we shall discuss it after my dad’s condition improves.’ She giggled.
“Sure. He nodded.
Meanwhile, in a public hospital by the seaside, Wanda, who almost drowned, woke up on the same day. She lay on the bed, still in a state of shock from her near-death experience. Her face was as
pale as a sheet.
“Erica, I won’t let you go. I will let Francis know about your true identity, and I look forward to your demise,” she grumbled.
“Madam, we have paid for your medical bills, so you can leave the hospital now.” One of the volunteers walked toward her.
“Thank you. You’re all kind-hearted people.” After being saved from drowning, Wanda was beyond thankful.
