Chapter 73: I Will Cook for Her

At first, it was just a shadow—tall, dressed in black.

‎Probably a family member of one of the other patients.

‎But... why was he just standing there?

‎Why wasn’t he coming in?

‎A faint unease crept over me.

‎Then the figure stepped inside.

‎He walked past the outer bed.

‎Not for them...

‎My breath caught slightly.

‎He stopped right beside my bed.

‎Before I could react, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

‎Startled, I squinted, trying to see him clearly—but no matter how hard I tried, everything remained a blur.

‎I leaned forward slightly, focusing with all my strength.

‎Then—

‎"It’s me, Vivienne. What happened to your eyes?"

‎Alexander’s voice.

‎Familiar. Deep. Concerned.

‎His hand reached out, gently cupping my face as he looked at the bandages wrapped around my forehead.

‎I had been staring at him in silence for a moment, and he must have found it strange.

‎Only after hearing his voice did I fully confirm it was really him.

‎"...The doctor said there’s blood clotting in my head, pressing on my optic nerves," I explained quietly. "That’s why everything is blurry. I can’t see clearly."

‎Alexander lifted his hand and waved it in front of my eyes.

‎"Can you see this?"

‎I nodded faintly. "I can see... just not clearly. I’m not blind."

‎His expression darkened slightly.

‎"How did the accident happen?"

"I went to visit my parents’ graves, and on my way back, I noticed two cars following me..." I summarized everything to him. "How did you know I was here?"

"I was at home when you called. When I returned, I didn’t find you, and Maria told me you had gone to the cemetery."

"Oh."

"Maria was still packing your things when I left. I was in a hurry, so I couldn’t wait for her, but she’ll be here soon."

"Okay."

"Just stay here. I’ll arrange for you to be transferred to a private room."

I wasn’t comfortable staying in a shared ward, so I nodded. He left shortly after.

Not long after he was gone, the other woman’s daughter approached me. "Is that your ex, or have you found someone new?"

"My ex," I replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Ohh... he seems to care about you. Why did you two get divorced then?"

"Care? He went straight back to his first love the moment she returned to the country," I said with a scoff.

"Wow, I didn’t expect that. He seemed so decent."

I couldn’t help but laugh. Alexander really did have that kind of charm. I guess it was what drew me to him back then.

A moment later, Alexander returned and helped me out of bed. Supporting me carefully, he walked me to the private room and helped me settle onto the bed.

"Do you have any other injuries apart from your eyes?" he asked.

"No."

"Alright. You need to get plenty of rest so you can recover properly."

"Luck hasn’t been on my side lately. How many times have I ended up in the hospital this month?"

"That’s exactly why you need to take better care of yourself."

"Mm."

"You must be hungry. What would you like to eat?"

"Will you go and buy it?"

"Yes."
