When Yolande walked into the ward, Dr. Warren was doing an examination with Austin. She looked at Dr. Warren, who was wearing a serious face. Her heart seemed to be hit hard by a hammer, dull and painful.
Mona's eyes were red, as if she had just cried. She avoided eye contact with Yolande. Yolande put the washed dishes on the bedside table, and Dr. Warren went out after checking Austin.
"Mr. Austin, have a rest." Mona glanced at Yolande and left the room for them to push the door open.
"Sit here." Austin pointed at a chair beside the bed and motioned for Yolande to sit down.
"I'll get you a wet towel to wipe your face." She went out and fetched a clean wet towel to wipe Austin's face and hands carefully.
"When did you become so considerate?" He teased with a smile.
"No No. " She lowered her head, not daring to look at Austin. He was having an infusion and wiped his hand clean. The man put his strong arms around her waist, and with a little strength, Yolande threw herself into Austin's arms. "Don't move."
"I'm going to put the towel down." She blushed.
"Put it down later."
"I'm pressing on you. Let go of me." Her face turned red.
"No." The man's voice was somewhat willful, and Yolande was stunned.
Yolande was worried that someone would come in. His posture was so warm. "Let go of me, Austin. Someone is coming." She murmured.
She forced a smile on her pale face and loosened her grip on the woman's waist. Then Yolande stood up and lowered her head slightly with a red face. Yolande turned around, pushed the door open and put the towel in the bathroom.
When Yolande came back, Austin had already fallen asleep. The infusion had a hypnotic effect. She gently pulled up the quilt covering his body. She sat down on the chair and looked at the sleeping man.
Mona came in with a lunch box in her hand. "Mrs. Yolande, I have brought you some food. Please have some."
"Mona, thank you. I I can't eat it. "
Mona touched her tears and said, "Mrs. Yolande, don't worry too much. Mr. Austin will be fine."
Yolande turned around and looked at the man's handsome face. Even though he frowned tightly in sleep, as if he had something bothering him. His sudden illness caught Yolande off guard. Suppressing some kind of fear, she didn't want herself to think about those terrible things.
"Mona, will he recover?" She looked at Mona's wrinkled face expectantly.
Mona avoided eye contact with Yolande. "Yes... Yes, Mrs. Yolande. "
She fixed her eyes on Austin, who was lying on the bed. Her heart ached. Her father passed away, and she had no relatives in this world. Austin, you must get better. I haven't paid you back yet! We have been together for so long, and you are already like my family. I don't want to lose you. She thought.
"Mrs. Yolande, please have some. Mr. Austin will feel sorry for you if he knows that." Mona said.
"It hurts." she noticed the key word and stared at Mona. Mona was stunned, "Mr. Austin cares about you very much."
"Okay."
Mona opened the lunch box. There were some simple dishes in the rice. "Mrs. Yolande, have some."
Yolande had no appetite and didn't intend to eat. She didn't want to disappoint Mona's kindness when she sent it all the way here. After all, there were not many people who were good to her in the world. Yolande picked up some food and ate the rice.
