242 Li Family (1/2)

Finally pushing him on the bed, she stood there for a second to catch her breath. In the softly lit room, he did look beautiful.

”It shall get better one day, don't worry!” she told him, in her heart.

”Maybe I have drunk too much tonight. Why else would I think that he looks good? I hate Asian guys. Maybe cos he suffers from a heart break,” she continued with her thoughts.

”Arghh… my head,” Wei moaned on the bed, clutching his head.

Stepping away from him, Samantha looked at her watch. She had already missed the deadline. Her mother is going to create a ruckus tomorrow morning! It was the fault of this pretty boy. Turning to go, it was his constant whimpering which made her hesitate.

She looked for a bottle of water in the mini fridge, unscrewed the cap and sank on the floor, next to him. She tried to shove the bottle in his mouth but the water kept trickling out. Blowing her fringes off her forehead in frustration, she got up, and pushed him further onto the bed, making space for herself to sit.

She placed her arm under his head and raised it, to help him drink. Wei gulped a few grateful sips and mumbled a thanks.

As she tried to remove her hand from under his head, he said hoarsely, ”don't go. Please don't go. I know you aren't her. But please don't leave me alone tonight. Just for a few minutes, please, just for a few minutes.”

Sam's hand stilled. She stared at his face. His eyes were shut but his expression was that of someone drowning.

Gosh, empathy was a bitch!!!

”Mum, there is an emergency situation with a friend. I will tell you about it when you call me tomorrow to scold me,” she sent a message to her mother with a resigned sigh.

Pushing his prone body further onto the bed, she made space for herself and sat up on the bed.
