After Dr. Crawford left, Felix returned to Vicki's side.
Vicki was having breakfast, placing the tray on her long, exposed legs. She used her uninjured hand to eat, displaying skilled and graceful movements. For her, having bruises was normal. For a long period of time, she had lived with injuries and added new ones. Growing up in an orphanage, life was cruel.
Therefore, a gunshot wound on her arm was just a piece of cake for her.
Felix sat down next to Vicki.
"Let me feed you," he said, reaching for the tray in Vicki's hand. However, Vicki refused.
"No need." Vicki finished eating with two or three bites and placed the tray on the bedside table. "I'm done."
"Take your time, it's not good for digestion to eat too quickly. You're not in a hurry," Felix felt sorry for her habit of always rushing through meals, even when she had no urgent matters. He took out a wet wipe and gently wiped the corners of her lips.
Seeing the newly bandaged wound and thinking about their intimacy earlier, he couldn't help but blame himself. It was his fault and he had caused her to endure pain once again.
Vicki glanced at Felix. "Who says I'm not in a hurry? I have many things to do."
Felix's expression darkened, and he firmly held her hand. "No. You need to rest. I'll take care of everything that needs to be done. Tell me what you want to do. Tell me."
Vicki furrowed her eyebrows. "Do you need to rest? Don't you understand?"
Felix knew what she was referring to and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Staying here is too boring. Why don't we find something else to do?" Vicki hinted at him with a glance and reached out to pull him closer.
Felix was taken aback, then even more embarrassed. He quickly stood up, brushing off Vicki's wrist, and cautiously moved a step away from her. "Don't even think about it. Didn't you hear what Dr. Crawford said? You need to rest for at least three days!"
