Serene was desperately holding back her tears before walking toward Wilson’s bed as she said, “The doctors said your stomach has hemorrhaged but you passed out this morning. I actually thought… Wilson, you actually scared me to death…”
Wilson pouted his pale lips as he said with a calm smile, “But you’re a doctor and you should’ve gotten used to situations like these already, so how could you still be terrified?”
It was true that as a doctor, Serene had seen plenty of weak patients. However, the person who had passed out was not just a random stranger. That person was Wilson so how could she not worry. When she was sitting outside the emergency room earlier, her entire body felt numb while both her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
“How could that be the same? You’re the one who passed out so obviously I’d be worried…”
Wilson raised his hand to wipe her tears as he comforted, “Hush now. I’m fine now, aren’t I”
Serene still had not calmed down yet because when Wilson passed out this morning, his condition appeared even more serious than just a regular stomach hemorrhage. She spoke in a nervous tone, “Are you feeling any discomfort from anywhere else in your body? If you do, you have to let me know, okay?”
“Alright.”
Heaton let out a light cough to interrupt them.
It was only then did Wilson finally notice Heaton and Verian. He asked, “What are you guys doing here?”
Serene replied, “I called Verian because your procedure requires a signature from your family. However… I don’t know your family so I wanted to ask Verian if President Fudd knew anyone from your family or not.”
Heaton said, “Since you’re fine then Riana and I will be leaving now. Another stomach hemorrhage patient is still awaiting our visit.”
Serene raised her brows as she said, “What’s wrong with these two days? Is getting a stomach hemorrhage a trend now?”
Verian sighed and said, “People are not eating right these days and would often have hotpot and take out. People enjoy drinking too so they’re more prone to getting stomach related ailments. Take care of Dr. Jarret okay, Serene? Heaton and I will be leaving now. Just call us anytime if anything happens.”
Serene nodded and said, “Alright. Drive safe now.”
After both Heaton and Verian exited the ward, Serene instinctively asked, “You haven’t eaten anything since last night. Are you hungry?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, the doctor hasn't allowed you to eat anything yet. I’ll ask the doctor when you can start eating later.”
“Okay.”
After Serene was done speaking, Serene noticed that Wilson had been staring at her face all this time so she instinctively touched her face and asked, “What are you staring at me for?”
“I was thinking, when can our names appear together on the same document?”
Serene was speechless.
Serene blushed as she bashfully lowered her gaze while holding back her joy as she stuttered, “Well… my parents still haven’t agreed to us being together. However… after you’re discharged and you get better, we’ll discuss this again.”
Not to mention, he should show more sincerity if he was proposing to her. Women had to show a little more restraint and they only could agree to their man’s proposal after their man showed up with a diamond ring and flowers.
Wilson’s gaze dimmed as he stared at her lowered head.
If he had the chance, he really wanted to spend the rest of his life with his woman.
However, since he would be unable to spend a lifetime with her, should he not have let go of her sooner rather than later?
“Babe?”
“Huh?”
The moment Serene looked up, the man squeezed her chin with his cold fingers as that handsome face was magnified in front of her before two pairs of lips were pressed against each other… That kiss was sudden and it made Serene feel helpless.
…
Verian smiled but replied in a serious tone, “Mr. Fudd, make some time soon so I can accompany you to get an endoscopy done.”
Heaton was speechless.
…
Serene had been staying by Wilson’s side in the ward. She unknowingly fell asleep while laying by Wilson’s bed at night.
Wilson’s phone rang and it was Thompson calling him.
Wilson was worried about waking Serene up, so he got out of bed and answered the call outside.
The instant he picked up the call, all he could hear was yelling through the other end.
“Wilson Jarret! Do you actually want to die?! Both Ruby and I have decided that if you don’t return to Italy, Ruby and I will kidnap you back with a helicopter!”
Wilson was standing at the very end of the hallway as he stared at the glimmering lights out the window. His gaze seemed cold and lonely as he calmly spoke, “I will be back as soon as I can.”
“How can you come back? Are you going to bring your beloved woman with you here? Does she know about your current condition?”
Wilson remained silent for a really long time before slowly replying, “I will call off this relationship as soon as possible.”
“Wilson, I truly hope you’re able to fulfil what you say this time. Your status is extremely dangerous and you’re not going to be a reliable man for Serene. Not to mention, your life can be in danger at any moment. I sometimes can’t seem to understand you. If you never dated that woman, perhaps your condition would’ve never returned. I told you before that you should really watch your diet and mood. However, the moment you ran into Serene, you’d be bold enough to drink whenever you’re in a bad mood. So tell me, is romance more important than your life?”
“If there’s nothing else, you can stop calling me.”
Beep… the busy tone could be heard coming from the other end of the phone call.
“Hey…! Hurry up and head back to Italy… F*ck! He hung up on me!”
