When Maxen finally listened to her and lay down properly, they didn't talk to each other. Cosette kept her mouth shut while staring at him to let him rest.
anwhile, the forr tried to avoid her presence as much as possible. But how could he? She was literally digging a hole in his forehead with her gaze!
"Stop staring," he muttered, breaking the silence between them. "Just what do you want from ?"
Maxen set his eyes to her when he couldn't take the undivided attention anymore. Cosette raised her brows, sitting on the chair right next to his bed with her hands on her lap.
"I want you to get better," she replied while cocking her head to the side.
"I an, why?"
"Because why not?"
"Ugh… never mind." Maxen looked away and shut his eyes.
Before he passed out earlier, he heard a girl's voice. He wasn't slow to recognize that the person who helped him earlier and this girl sitting near him were the sa.
Maxen would understand being in a hospital after getting beaten up pretty badly. And he would understand if this girl send him to the hospital as that was logical. But what he couldn't understand was her concern, as if she knew him. This was their first ti they t, so this concern she was showing him ca off as suspicious.
'Although it doesn't seem she was lying,' he thought, recalling her sincere eyes that were about to shed tears while saying he should get better. 'Ugh… those fuckers… I will get back to them once I get out of here.'
His head throbbed as his body felt heavy with fatigue. It didn't take long when Maxen fell asleep once again.
anwhile, Cosette stayed silent and just stared at him. A sigh of relief slipped past her lips when his breathing grew deeper and heavy.
'Just for tonight… I want to stay with Maxen before I wake up to my reality,' she told herself, smiling bitterly as she believed this dream would soon end.
"I still have to tell the chairman, though." Cosette took out her phone from her bag and sent a ssage to her father, telling him she would unwind. Since her father favored her, she knew he would understand his daughter.
Just then, Cosette recalled she told Lucia to tell her father she would join him for dinner. So, out of courtesy, she sent another ssage.
[To: Chairman
Sorry, Papa. I will surely join you tomorrow for dinner.
