"Brother Chris ..." rry once again called out to him in a pitying voice.
The voice sounded so soft and spoiled to Chris's ears, like the sound of a cat owing at his master. The man's heart raced fast and made his mind confused. Chris lowered his arm that was holding the apple while taking a close look at rry.
He tried to find out what made him so attracted to this woman. rry's appearance was quite ordinary, it could even be said to be simple. She did not have a dazzling beauty like Lilia.
Chris had t all kinds of won, from won with dazzling beauty to won with natural elegance. But none of them could win Chris's heart. rry alone left the deepest impression on his heart. He didn't know since when this young woman had conquered his heart to such an extent.
Chris began to think about all the things he found interesting about rry. The woman had an active personality since childhood. Her round face always looked lively and full of vigor. In a way, rry looked like a plum blossom in spring. This flower was not the most beautiful flower, but had a distinctive fragrance and was not easy to forget.
But the most appealing thing to Chris was rry's eyes. The woman had large eyes and was always shining with enthusiasm, like a teor at night. Increasingly, the man felt that his taste for won was truly abnormal.
anwhile, rry grew impatient as Chris continued to ignore her. She reached out and tugged at the hem of Chris's shirt.
"Brother Chris, what are you doing?" rry asked irritably.
Instead of answering, Chris slipped the apple into rry's bag. Then he lifted the woman's tiny body by the collar of her shirt.
"Wait ...! Bro! Put down!" rry struggled, screaming in panic.
"If you co with , I'll give you more apples." Chris said calmly. Without waiting for rry's reply, he started walking toward the hospital building.
"I…" For a mont, rry was tempted by Chris's offer. However she hurriedly shook her head. "I would, but let down first! I'm not your pet, you know!" rry grabbed Chris' coat and tugged at it in loud protest.
Chris just let go of the woman when they got close to Lilia's room. rry covered her face with both hands while trying to erase the embarrassing experience from her mory just now. The visitors and the hospital staff who passed them always gave them strange looks. rry didn't want to rember all their whispers.
"So? What are you going to do now?" Chris asked the woman, "You want to co with ?"
rry shook her head vigorously, "I'll just wait in the bathroom! Brother Chris, call when you're done!"
Without waiting for Chris's answer, the young woman fled into the ladies' room. Chris chuckled at her behavior. rry acted like a frightened cat.
The man turned around and continued his steps. While walking, he studied the fruit basket in his hand. After a while, Chris took another apple and put it in his coat pocket. He intended to give it to rry since she loved apples. Chris looked forward to the big smile that would adorn her face.
Of course, rry wasn't really an apple lover— she's just starving because she didn't have ti to eat lunch. But Chris didn't know about that. He nodded and muttered to himself, "If Lilia wants to eat an apple, Jean can buy the fruit himself. Who told that guy to break his promise for a woman?!"
Chris arrived at the door to Lilia's room and slid the door open without knocking first. In the next second, he imdiately regretted his actions.
The two people who were kissing beside the bed imdiately jumped. To be precise, Lilia was hurriedly getting as far away from Jean as possible. Her pale face was now bright red. On the other hand, Jean reached out and rubbed Lilia's lips gently. The man didn't panic or startle by Chris's appearance, as if the man standing by the door was just a passing wind.
Chris silently scolded Jean's actions, 'Shouldn't you be an expert at self-control, Jean?! Why are you kissing her here?! Don't you realize this is a hospital?! Look at that, Lilia's face looks red as a tomato because of you!'
"Oh? Did I co in at a bad ti?" Chris said in a relaxed tone.
He walked in and put the basket he was carrying on the table. Then he turned to Jean. His childhood friend stared back at him with an irritated expression. Secretly, Chris felt satisfied that he had managed to get revenge on that man.
Jean raised an eyebrow, "Can't you knock on the door first?" His voice was sarcastic.
Chris snorted. Had Jean knocked on the door himself before entering?
"What for? Besides, the door's unlocked." Chris replied stubbornly as he sat on one of the sofas. He leaned back and crossed his legs, as if he were relaxing in his own ho.
Lilia gave a small cough to interrupt them. Then she got out of bed and whispered to Jean, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Lilia's face wasn't that red, but her cheeks were still blushing. After Jean nodded, she imdiately headed to the bathroom connected to the room. As Lilia passed Chris, she gave him a pleading look. She wanted Chris to keep the incident a secret— or erase it from his mory, if possible.
Chris could only nod as he felt Jean's gaze pierce him. He had no choice but to have Jean here.
Lilia walked into the bathroom feeling relieved. She stood in front of the sink mirror and watched the reflection. Her face looked pale, with a reddish tint around her cheeks. Her lips seed slightly swollen after the kiss.
When Lilia recalled the embarrassing incident, her face felt hot again. She let out a deep breath. Who could have thought that Chris suddenly walked in without knocking first?
Lilia shook her head and turned the faucet. The sound of running water filled the bathroom. Lilia intended to wash her face to remove the thick makeup from Dylan earlier. Before she could touch the water with her right hand, she heard a knock on the bathroom door.
"Lilia, don't get your left hand wet, okay?" Jean reminded her from outside.
"Yes!" Lilia replied with a faint smile. Her husband was completely overprotective.
Chris also had the sa opinion as Lilia. The man clicked his tongue when he saw the worry on Jean's face.
"Jean, you're too much. Lilia isn't a kid anymore, you know?" He rebuked, "If you continue to act like this, one day she will get annoyed and leave you!"
"What are you here for?" Jean asked in an icy tone. It looked like Chris just irritated him.
Chris sighed as he slipped his hand into his coat pocket. He played with the apples he had put there and asked, "Why are you asking that? Did you forget that you promised to et at Mount Fushi? We should have divided the land there this afternoon, right!"
Jean walked over to the table and poured a glass of water for Lilia to drink later, "I didn't forget." The man replied briefly as he moved the fruit basket Chris had brought as far as possible.
"Then why didn't you show up?! Do you know how long I waited there?! An hour and a half! I stood at the foot of the mountain in the cold monsoon wind for an hour and a half, you know! If I got sick because of that, I'll send my dicine bill to you!" Chris protested.
"I've sent Kenny as my replacent." Jean said dryly.
Actually, Jean himself was already on his way to the place. However, when he got close, he learned the news about Lilia. Jean imdiately turned around and headed towards the hospital without hesitation. Jean's only regret was that he couldn't imdiately reach Lilia's side due to a great distance. The man felt absolutely no guilt for Chris, who had been abandoned at the foot of the mountain.
Chris glared at his friend. He seed to be able to read the man's thoughts, "It's useless! This handover won't be valid if you don't attend! You can't get Kenny on your behalf!"
Jean nodded, "Oh, sorry then." He said briefly.
Chris waited for a mont, but Jean didn't continue. This made Chris angry. Was that all? After abandoning him at the foot of the mountain for an hour and a half, was that all Jean could say?!
The man massaged his forehead while sighing once again. In the past, Chris always hoped that Jean would find the woman he loved. He assud that Jean's cold and distant attitude would change. Chris's assumption was not wrong.
His friend began to act gentler and warr, like humans in general. Unfortunately, this change in attitude only appeared when Jean was with Lilia. In other words, Jean was still acting like before in front of others.
While Chris was busy racking his brains to find a way to solve this problem, Jean finally opened his mouth.
"You don't need to be confused about the distribution of the land. I will transfer the entire land to you unconditionally." Jean said casually, as if he were talking about the weather and not multi-billion dollar land.
"Huh?!" Chris cried out in surprise, "Are you kidding?!"
"Tomorrow, I will have soone prepare the required docunts." Jean continued in a serious tone.
Chris was silent for a mont before throwing himself back on the sofa, "Okay, it's up to you. It's your land, you can do whatever you want." Chris muttered tiredly, "So tomorrow you will be handing over the land with , okay?"
"What do you an? I'm not going anywhere tomorrow." Jean frowned when he heard that, "Lilia is injured, so I'll accompany her."
Chris stared blankly at Jean, then he let out a third sigh. He couldn't beat Jean's love for his wife!
