Chapter 1204 - 1200: Feigning Illness to Probe
Outside the hospital room, Eva Miller hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to walk towards it.On the bed, Luke Land was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, lying quietly with his eyes closed, his face devoid of any color, resembling a... person without a pulse.
A needle was inserted into his hand, and his left leg was encased in a white plaster cast.
"Luke Land..." Eva Miller whispered softly as she approached the bedside, then crouched by the bed, calling his name.
"Luke Land, please don’t stay silent, okay? Last night, I know I was wrong, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." She apologized to him over and over again, but unfortunately, he couldn’t hear her.
"Sophie Smith, has he not woken up at all?" Eva Miller’s eyes were filled with complex emotions—guilt and worry surged forth.
Sophie Smith just nodded, "The doctors say that my brother’s injuries are very severe, and when he’ll wake up is still uncertain."
She couldn’t help but feel grateful in her heart; good thing she’s an actress, otherwise, facing Eva Miller, she couldn’t truly continue with this act.
Eva Miller stayed by the bedside, not budging an inch. A day passed, and late into the night, Sophie Smith wanted Eva Miller to rest for a while, but she wouldn’t agree.
In the past, whenever she had a minor ailment, he would definitely accompany her, protect her, wishing that the sick person was him, wishing he could endure all the pain for her...
So now, her staying by his side is only fair, right?
But later, her eyelids were fighting each other, and she couldn’t hold on any longer. She then leaned over the bedside and fell asleep for a short while.
Gradually, her steady breathing could be heard in the hospital room.
The man lying on the bed finally opened his eyes.
This day truly wasn’t easy. He lay here motionless like a living corpse, feeling that if he didn’t move soon, he’d become a mummy.
He got up from the bed, carefully watching the small woman leaning beside it, his lips slightly curling upwards.
He heard all the words she said.
She had been apologizing to him.
In fact, he hadn’t been in a car accident; last night, when he went out to buy contraceptives for her, the rain was truly heavy. After the car waded through the storm, he didn’t know what malfunctioned as it wouldn’t start. He didn’t have any options, so he thought about it and decided to call Asher Land.
Asher Land didn’t say a word and drove out late at night to pick him up. However, when he asked why he was out so late, Luke Land hesitated for a moment.
Asher Land’s observational skills were still sharp; he immediately noticed Luke Land’s unease. Under his persistent pressure, Luke Land revealed the matter.
"Ha, it seems your status at home can be described as tragic beyond words." When Asher Land found out that Luke Land was out buying contraceptives for Eva Miller, he thought it was an utterly unreasonable thing... although, once, he had been ordered out by his own woman to do such a thing too.
"I suggest you get a vasectomy. That way, you can do it as many times as you want without having to worry about being sent out to buy morning-after pills afterward." Asher Land’s tone carried a hint of irony.
But Luke Land naturally wouldn’t do such a thing; he wanted to have a child with Eva Miller.
As for later, coming to the hospital and ’faking illness’ was Asher Land’s idea, merely to test the position Luke Land held in Eva Miller’s heart.
