Nico smiled. "I will do anything for my baby." The happiness and joy of love can be easily seen on his face.
But Ellie wasn't happy. Instead, she felt a little weird about it.
As she wondered, her cell phone rang. She took a look and answered happily, "Hello, Kayden!"
Nico changed his expression slightly. He stilled smiled, but with caution.
"How did you know that I was in the hospital? ... From the newspaper? That's not true. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me. ... Yes. Thanks to Nico, or I'll be badly hurt. ... Now? He's fine, too. His arm is injured and he is changing dressings now. I'm with him. ... When are you going to come back, Kayden? You didn't tell me when you left."
As the doctor changed dressings, he whispered, "Did it feel good to save a beauty like a hero, Superstar? I'm jealous of you. Your girlfriend is so young and so lively. I want to fall in love too."
Nico smiled but didn't say anything.
"Your girlfriend is a beauty with a pretty face and a good shape. She's also young and has a bright future. Maybe she'll be a superstar. You have to keep an eye on her in case someone else takes her from you. The young men now are shrewd."
...
'Have a try if they dare.' Nico was indifferent about this.
Ellie pouted and said, "It was really close this time. I thought I was going to die."
"You won't die so easily, little girl. A scourge lives long." Kayden chuckled on the other end of the phone.
In the past Ellie would have retorted, but this time she nodded and said, "I think so too. When are you going to come back, Kayden? You promised me a gift."
What? Kayden was stunned but he quickly remembered. Ellie wanted a man. Nico was with her but she was not satisfied.
"Isn't Nico with you? He hasn't been your husband yet and you want another man? You are too playful."
"A lady can never be satisfied with one man. My dream is to be a bride every day and change grooms every night. You know me, Kayden."
Fortunately, the doctors and Nico were not proficient in Chinese, or they would have been shocked. But Vincent understood. She suppressed the inclination to laugh and thought that Ellie was really a playgirl.
"I see. I will when my work is done. I'm busy. Behave yourself and don't get into trouble." Vincent hung up.
"Okay, Kayden." Ellie kissed over the phone and hung up.
"Who was that, baby? You chatted for a long time." Nico had recognized Kayden's voice but pretended not to know.
"It was Kayden, a friend who's good to me," Ellie replied without thinking. The doctor was changing dressings for Nico and Ellie asked, "Does your arm still hurt?"
"Of course not. I'm so happy that you care about me so much. How could it still hurt?"
Ellie trembled. Nico had been aloof and proud before but now he became clingy and disgusting.
It was really disgusting. He lost the charm of being aloof and proud.
Ellie felt tangled. Sure Nico was handsome. She wanted to conquer Nico, who was high-hearted and lofty. But now he was cute and lovely.
"Nico, I'll go back. Take good care of yourself and I'll visit you later."
"No need, baby. You didn't rest well these days. Go back and get your beauty sleep. I'll pick you up tomorrow evening to watch the Water City performance."
"But what about your arm?" Ellie asked.
Nico looked at the chief doctor as if he was saying "Help me!" The doctor coughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't touch the wound and eat randomly."
"Thank you, doctor." Nico smiled. His smile was so charming that everyone was attracted and indulged.
Ellie was indulged in the smile too. 'Nico was really handsome. Men like him are among the top ones. I can forget about his being disgusting. With such a handsome man beside me, I'll look great.'
"Go back and have a good rest, baby! I'll call you later." Nico said gently.
Ellie nodded and left happily.
"Please leave me alone, Vincent. I want to rest now." Nico said.
Vincent nodded, "Take a good rest. I'll inform you if there is work or necessary press conference." After saying that, she went out.
After Ellie and Vincent had left, the chief doctor worked on his game face and asked Nico, "Are you okay? Can you hold on?"
Nico's face was deathly pale. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, but it really hurts."
