This night, the man became very strong, less gentle than usual, having Violet the whole night.
It was not until the next day when it was almost dawn that he would let Violet go.
Violet then had the chance to breathe a sigh of relief before falling asleep on her pillow.
She was so tired that she couldn't lift her eyelids, she had no energy, she didn't want to move, let alone tuck herself in, adjust her sleeping position, and let herself lie on her back.
She was too tired and just wanted to sleep.
So for the rest, wait until she woke up tomorrow.
Just like that, Violet fell into a complete sleep, and because she was so tired, she even made a slight snoring sound, proving how deep she was sleeping at the moment.
And lying on her back, Stanley, who was resting, heard the woman's purring and knew that she had fallen asleep, so he hurriedly propped himself up on either side of the woman's body and got up.
He had fought hard all night, and even though he had a lot of energy, he was still tired.
That was why when it was over, he didn't just get up and carry the woman to the shower like he usually did, but lay on top of her, panting slightly. He wanted to wait until his tiredness had almost disappeared before taking the woman to the bath.
As a result, he didn't expect the woman to have fallen asleep.
Stanley sat up and then gently shook Violet's shoulders, trying to wake the woman up, "Wake up, I'll take you to take a bath."
However, Violet frowned and had no intention of getting up at all.
Stanley looked at the tiredness between her brows and the faint dark circles under her eyelids, and eventually gave up on the idea of waking her up to take a bath.
She was so tired, so let her sleep.
The position, though, had to be adjusted, she could not sleep on her belly it was not good for heart.
Stanley went up and grabbed Violet's shoulders, turned the woman over gently and helped her adjust her sleeping position.
After adjusting, he tucked Violet in again so that she could sleep warmer.
Having done so, Stanley then got up and headed for the bathroom himself, ready to take a shower beforehand.
After a tiring night, she was covered in sweat, and once the sweat dried, her body was sticky and felt very uncomfortable.
So that was why he wanted Violet to take a bath before she slept.
But since Violet was already asleep, he couldn't really wake her up at all.
When she woke up, she was in bad spirits and his heart ached for her.
Stanley took a quick shower and was out in less than ten minutes.
He casually wiped his hair, then walked over to the bed, lifted the covers up, wrapped his arms around the sleeping woman, closed his eyes, and fell asleep too.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
It had come to night on the side of Jessie.
She tidied up her room, then opened the door and went out, heading next door to George's ward, ready to ask what he wanted to eat tonight and go out to buy food for him herself.
Although he had asked her to hire a carer to look after him, the carer had not yet arrived and, naturally, she would then need to be looked after.
When she arrived at the door of George's ward, Jessie knocked on the door.
George had just woken up not long ago and his head was a bit drowsy, when he heard the knock on the door, his brows furrowed and his voice was a bit hoarse as he spoke, "Come in."
Outside the door, Jessie heard the wrongness in George's voice and looked stunned, then hurriedly opened the door and entered, "Mr. Joe, what's wrong with you, are you sick? I heard you sound like you're not feeling well."
George was resting one hand on his eyes, when he heard this, he took his hand off his eyes then sat up from the hospital bed and raised his eyes towards the woman standing in the doorway, "It's you."
