"You’re curious why I ca to see Hayden?" Ethan asked as if he could read my mind.
Since I couldn’t make a sound anymore, I just nodded my head softly at him instead. Sothing about Ethan felt different but for the life of , I couldn’t figure out what it was. As he continued laughing softly at , I stared at him in pure confusion. If I had to put it, I would say that for so reason Ethan looked more approachable and friendly than before.
Did sothing…happen while I was sleeping for three days?
"Yes…what did you talk to Hayden about?" I managed to say in a shaky voice.
"You can ask him that yourself. You’re here to see him, right?" Ethan replied smoothly.
So, he’s not going to answer
after all. If I didn’t have any options left, then I’ll just ask Hayden about it. Sothing really seems off but hopefully it wasn’t sothing bad.
"Congratulations on your marriage," Ethan said before he smiled warmly at .
The way his green eyes held mine told
that his words were sincere, and I found myself smiling a little back at him before I nodded my head in acknowledgent. In another life and on another tiline, I might have ended up marrying this man in front of
right now. Back then, I honestly thought that we had a fair shot at a future together.
My smile grew wider when I realized that I did not regret anything that happened or any choices that I’ve made.
"Thank you, Ethan," I replied.
"This is for you. Take it as a very delayed wedding present," Ethan said as he reached into the pocket of his suit.
I hadn’t expected that he would have a present for . My eyes widened further in surprise when he handed
a neatly folded envelop. A letter?
"Thank you…" I thanked him again as I reached for the envelop and took it from his outstretched hand.
"Read it when you’re alone. Take care and I’ll see you around," Ethan said before he walked right past .
I turned as my gaze watched his back. He left so suddenly that I didn’t have the chance to ask him more about this letter or anything else that was going on. Ethan did say that he’ll see
around. Did he an that?
My eyes returned to the small envelop that I held in my hand as I wondered what was so important in here that I had to read it when I was alone. With Ethan gone, I was reminded of my original purpose of coming here to Hayden’s room. I want to see Hayden.
This letter can wait until later, I shoved it into the pocket of my hospital gown before I pushed the door to Hayden’s hospital room opened and walked in. In the end, I realized that I didn’t end up knocking on his door. Hayden was awake on his bed and the way he smiled at
when I walked in told
that he must have been expecting .
"Did you run into Ethan just now?" Hayden asked.
"Yes, I did," I replied truthfully because I was sure that he already knew the answer to his question anyways.
As usual, I sat on the side of his bed and Hayden imdiately wrapped his arm around my waist. His warmth enveloped , and I found myself smiling in bliss. I wondered again when we could leave the hospital. I asked Auntie and the doctor who ca to see
so many tis, but their replies were always vague.
"When can we get out of here?" I asked Hayden.
"Tomorrow if the boss doesn’t change his mind," Hayden replied before he flashed
a comforting smile.
"Really?" I asked excitedly.
"Really. I told him that I’m bored out of my mind being stuck here in this room…" Hayden complained.
"I want to go back to the mansion…" I murmured.
After trying so hard to make it out of there, I couldn’t quite believe that I was looking forward to going back there. Anything was better than the hospital right now in my opinion. Hayden’s wound had healed up very well according to him and his doctor while I felt so healthy that I felt like I was wasting my youthful life away in my hospital room.
"I’m sure that we can leave tomorrow. So, you better say your goodbyes to your doctor and your nurses," Hayden replied as his hand began stroking the small of my back.
His touch felt comforting, and it made
feel warm inside. I love being close to him. Just being beside him or in the sa room made
unbelievably happy.
"I can’t wait to go back ho with you…" I murmured softly.
It was a strange feeling but before I realized it, Hayden’s mansion had beco my ho. There wasn’t another place that I really wanted to go back to right at that mont. Hayden’s soft caressed against my back felt so comforting that the important questions that I had to ask him almost slipped from my mind completely.
"Hayden…why did Ethan co to see you?" I asked before I turned to stare into his beautiful blue eyes.
My thought that the question must have been a hard one to answer seed to be completely off. Hayden seed very relax about discussing the topic with
and I couldn’t sense a change in the atmosphere around him. He just looked at
before his lips curved into a small smile.
"Why are you always so curious?" Hayden teased
before he chuckled softly.
"Please…tell …" I pleaded softly.
"Nothing much, really. When you were gone, I thought that Ethan took you, so he was the first person who I went to first," Hayden told
with a grin.
"Oh…" I murmured in understanding.
Well, if I were him, I would probably suspect Ethan first too, so I didn’t bla Hayden for getting it wrong. Although, Ethan really wouldn’t use any serious force against .
