"Really?" Alexander was doubtful.
"Really!" She nodded affirmatively. Lest he not believe her, she raised her hand again. "Should I swear?"
Seeing that he was just watching her silently, Lily continued, "I swear, if I don't take a good rest when I go home, I will-"
Before she could finish, Alexander immediately interrupted her.
"Don't say it! He scolded fiercely. "Why do you keep swearing? Who taught you to do that?!"
"Are you going to believe me now? Can I go home?" Lily put her hand down with a smile.
She knew that he was distressed and reluctant. Although she did not want to swear, he would not compromise if she didn't.
What a joke! Wasn't being hospitalized almost like putting her in jail? She would be bored out of her mind if she stayed in the hospital with nowhere to go!
These were not the most important parts. There were still a lot of things she had to do outside. She could try not to wear herself out, but she couldn't ignore it.
How could Alexander not know?
He knew her too well, so he did not feel at ease. That was why he wanted to use hospitalization to force her to rest.
