Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 328

But every time Raymond came to the hospital to visit her, he always acted calm and easy, never bringing it up at all.

It was as if everything happening outside had nothing to do with him.

Agnes sat quietly on the bed, staring at the man in front of her.

"Am I that good-looking?" Raymond asked with a soft smile.

Agnes paused a little. "You can't see. How do you know I'm looking at you?"

Raymond said, "I can feel it. I can sense everything about you..."

Agnes curled her lips and mumbled, "Such a smooth talker..."

Raymond's lips lifted slightly as he smiled and said, "I asked Frank. He said you're recovering well, and you won't have any scars."

Suddenly, he reached out and found her hand. His voice carried a hint of pleading.

"Agnes, next time, don't act so impulsively again. Promise me you'll take good care of yourself, okay?"

Agnes pressed her lips together. That strange, tingling feeling in her heart came back again.

"I got it. Raymond, can you do me a favor?"

Raymond's face suddenly turned a bit cold, as if he already knew what she was going to say.

"If you're trying to ask me to stop going after the Ruells, then don't say it.

"People have to pay for what they do wrong.

"The moment they laid a hand on you, their fate was already set."

Agnes said, "In the end, you're going after the Ruells because of me.

"I don't want things to get worse. Please, just let the Ruells go."

Raymond's calm face from just moments ago suddenly turned cold.

His voice turned cold and sharp. "You risked your own safety for that man and even took a hit for him.

"And now, you're asking me to let the Ruells go for him, too?

"Agnes, what am I to you? Where exactly do you put me?"

Agnes said quickly, "It's not what you think. I just returned him a favor. I..."

"Whatever."

Raymond's throat moved slightly as he answered coldly.

Then he stood up, picked up his walking cane, and left the hospital room.

"Hey, Raymond! I'm not done talking yet! Where are you going? Come back! Hey!"

No matter how Agnes called after him, Raymond never slowed down.

His heart felt like it was burning with jealousy.

He couldn't stop walking. He didn't want her to see how out of control he really was.

For the next several days, Raymond didn't come to the hospital again.

"Of course! So you better treat me nicely in the future..."

Agnes nodded and said gently, "Of course. I'll make it up to you big time someday."

Carmen chimed in, "Mm-hmm, that's more like it. You're learning fast."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls looked at each other and burst out laughing, filling the hospital room with their cheerful voices.

Agnes said, "Carmen, I can go back by myself. Your company must be busy; you don't need to come pick me up."

Carmen shook her head. "No way. I already promised someone I'd..."

She suddenly stopped, realizing she had almost slipped up. She quickly changed her words.

"Ah, I mean, my company isn't that busy lately. I just wanted to spend more time with you."

Agnes noticed the hidden meaning in her words. She paused slightly, then quietly continued packing her things without saying much.

Carmen leaned closer to her, looking a little mysterious.

"Hey, Agnes, did you and Raymond have a fight?"

Agnes looked confused. "No, why would you say that?"

Carmen pointed downstairs. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I didn't come alone today. He's waiting for you downstairs."

Agnes looked out the window. A familiar black car was quietly parked there.

"Don't keep looking. He's already been here for a while, waiting downstairs. I told him to come up, but he's acting all cool."
