Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: He left hugging her

Not far from there, Xavier had his hands in his pockets and watched Andrea's expression before looking with a meaningful smile where Leopoldo had left off, thinking that the matter was getting more and more interesting.

This woman, in fact, could make Leopoldo take the initiative to embrace her.

After some time had passed, the smell of disinfectant appeared in the air.

Mariana opened her eyes with a headache and glimpsed the snow-white ceiling. The unfamiliar surroundings confused her for a few seconds.

-Mari, don't move!

She was about to get up when suddenly someone rushed over from the side and grabbed her shoulders to pin her down.

He looked around with a permanent discomfort in his head.

-Anita?

-Mari, you're finally awake!

Ana hurried to place the pillow for him to lean on, nervously watching his face.

-How are you feeling, are you nauseous and want to vomit? You scared me! The doctor said you hit your head and will probably have a concussion.

-Me? I'm fine, don't worry.

-Don't try to lie to me," Ana's eyes turned red and she sobbed. The doctor told me that you fainted not only because you hit your head, but also because you've been working too hard lately and couldn't take much more! Why else would you have been unconscious for so long? You've been in a coma all night!

-All night?

Mariana made a slight cough and, weakly, said a comforting joke:

-I'm really fine. You know, I'm made of iron.

-How dare you joke! You know you almost scared me to death!

-I was wrong, uh...

Mariana squeezed her temples and pretended to be uncomfortable.

-Anita, I may have really hit my head.... Leave me alone, I'll be fine after I rest.

Naturally, he had an awareness of his own health.

It was true that he had been enduring these last few days, but he was perfectly capable of holding out until the launch was over. However, who would have known that Andrea had set him up?

She could be sure it was Andrea who had pushed her! At the thought of that woman, she couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
