As William was ready to go upstairs, Bonnie stopped him. "Wait for a moment. You can't get in her ward."
Confused, William asked, "Why?"
She couldn't find a suitable excuse to stop his visit when Sebastian stayed with Erika at this moment. Moreover, she didn't want to explain what William and Sebastian looked like. At the thought of William's feelings for her, she hoped they two would never meet each other.
Deep in thought, Bonnie urged, "The doctor said Erika should have more rest. Visitors would bother her rest. Besides, it's too late..."
William changed his mind and rubbed his head. "Your words made sense. I will visit here when she recovers."
"OK. When Erika is discharged from the hospital, I will allow her to play with you," she said and looked at the gate of the hospital. "It's too late. You should come back home and have a rest."
"OK," William replied and told her that he wanted to talk to her about something when stopping a taxi.
With a doubt, Bonnie followed him.
When they stood by the side of the road waiting for a taxi, he brought a pink envelope for her.
"What is it?" Bonnie paused.
He explained, "The bonus the company gave you. With your perfect logo, the company signed a contract worth $30 million after putting it on the sale."
The company thanked her with the bonus.
In the ward, impatient after a long-time waiting, Sebastian frowned and checked the time. It was strange that it would take her half an hour to buy a box of milk. He asked the nurse who came to check Erika's condition, "Have you seen Annie?"
"Of course, she is talking to a man in the hall."
Sebastian guessed why she would talk to a man at night in the hospital and then he felt mixed feelings. "And then?"
"Then she followed that man out. I told you all I know," the nurse replied.
He doubted if she left with another and turned solemn with his eyes half closed.
