Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 688

A gust of chilly wind blew into the ward. It seemed that the window wasn’t properly shut, and the wind had blown it open. Tugging on the blanket that she had on herself, Heather felt much more awake upon the stimulation of the cold wind.

Aware of the cold, Leon instinctively walked toward the window and opened it wider. The wind crept into the curves of his neck and the strands of his baby hair near his forehead started to dance along with the wind. Not long after, he shut the windows tight.

After bathing himself in the chilly wind, Leon felt more awake now. He then trotted back toward the hospital bed. At this moment, a dreamy blush flushed on Heather’s cheeks.

“Leon, do you not know me well enough?” She was confident that he would comply; she knew that she was the more domineering one between them, after all.

“Heather, stay in the hospital and don’t overthink.” At this point, he was unable to look at her straight in the eyes. Though he had fantasized about getting together with her numerous times, he couldn’t bring himself to take up the offer now that the opportunity was laid right in front of him.

She could see the hesitation in his eyes. With a flirtatious smile, she said, “Alright. Will you be visiting me tomorrow?” At this moment, she was acting like a little girl who craved love; even the look in her eyes seemed seductive.

“Of course I’ll come,” he answered. Unable to resist her beauty, he turned to look at the view outside the window.

“I’m going to rest, so you can head back for now.” She was lying on the bed with content plastered all over her face. She looked like she had just accomplished a big project, and she could finally take a rest.

With his back facing her, he nodded. Her kind actions toward Leon today were making him nervous. He knew that he would say yes to everything she said once he was looking at her; he just couldn’t bring himself to reject her.

Heather then watched Leon attentively as he left the room. The moment the door shut once again, she sighed to herself. She recalled how she treated Matthias earlier when Leon was in the same room. Thinking that she must have hurt Matthias’ self-esteem, she supposed that he would not be coming to visit her any soon.

However, she had underestimated him this time. Just as Leon left, Matthias came in right after. It was so coincidental that they didn’t bump into each other. As a result, Heather couldn’t even catch a break without entertaining the two.

After Matthias left the hospital earlier, he realized that he had acted too rashly. After all, she was ill now. Despite her usual strong-headed and stubborn demeanor, she was still sick. The initial reason he came to the hospital was to check on her and show his concern. Hence, he started regretting fighting with her, as he should’ve been more patient and understanding.

Just as Heather lay down, she saw him pushing the door to come in. At this moment, since she was really worn out, she was reluctant to sit up in bed, so she remained in her lying position.

“President Locke, why’d you come again?” She continued using a hostile tone to agitate him. She was now eager to do whatever it would take for him to dislike her. She was obviously crossing the line, yet she wouldn’t let her guilt show.

“The meeting has already ended, so there’s no use going back now.” It seemed that he had found himself a solid excuse.

After all, she didn’t like it when he’d comply with her. Perhaps it was better for him if they weren’t together. It didn’t make sense for him to keep bearing with her shenanigans; there was no reason for him to do that.

They were bound to hurt each other as long as they were together, and she didn’t want a relationship like this. There was a long future ahead, so she thought that he deserved a better woman, not someone as prickly as she was.

“I’m going to rest.” She continued to drive him away as she just wanted to settle this quickly.

Nevertheless, she wasn’t sure that she would be soft-hearted. After all, meeting him was unplanned, an accident. She truly didn’t want to continue facing him, because she was afraid that her plan would go down the drain if she were to slip.

“I’ll stay by your side.” Obviously, he had no intention of leaving and began to inch closer to her.

Matthias’ level of shamelessness was about to reach Leon’s. To Matthias, loving someone meant giving them exceptional treatment. That was why he was able to bear with Heather so much that it was beyond her expectations. Getting a chair, he then sat down next to her bed, looking down at her with an adoring gaze.

With a frown, she said helplessly, “President Locke, I can’t rest with you by my side.” Seeing that he seemed like he wanted to hang around, she couldn’t be at peace.

“If you’re really tired, you can definitely rest no matter how many people are around you.” Exceptionally persistent today, the man disregarded her hostile tone.

“I just want to be alone quietly,” she said, dissatisfied. He sure is becoming more and more full of cr*p!

“You are alone. You can treat me like I’m air,” he said nonchalantly. The warmth in his gaze was about to melt her.
