Chapter 69 - Say the word (1/2)

Sara gradually opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the blanket covering her body for a while before finally remembering she was in the hospital to visit Mr Li.

She stood up abruptly and looked around. Mr Li was no where to be found. Then she saw him enter. He had just returned from the bathroom.

”You're finally awake” He said with a warm smile.

Sara nodded. Was she supposed to apologise about suddenly falling asleep?

”I was supposed to watch you. I can't believe I slept off”

Muchen chuckled. Then sat on the bed.

”Your father called. He was worried. I told him I'll send you home once you're awake” He said.

”My Father called? I just left there about an hour ago. Did he say something was wrong?” She tried to find her phone on the couch since the blanket was covering it.

When she finally saw it, she checked to see various missed calls from her Father.

Muchen was just watching her, not saying anything. Then he saw her eyes bulge out.

”Ah! it's... it's past 11 already?” She asked in utter shock.

The windows were closed, The light in the room was brightly lit. Everything was the same as when she entered earlier. How long had she slept?

She moved to the window and pushed the curtain out to confirm. It was really dark outside.

”Why didn't you wake me up? I only wanted to wait till you finished eating”

”You've been stressed out. I should have asked Dr Long to admit you”

”Wait, you look just fine. Are you better now? How's your health?” She unconsciously moved to where he was and placed a hand on his head to check his temperature.

He was sitting, she was standing. There were both so close to each other. The proximity had an effect on Muchen greatly, especially as he was directly facing her breast.

”I think you are better, I should call the doctor now”

She was about turning when he held her hand and dragged her back.

Sara was really startled this time. She looked down at him and their eyes met. Her heart skipped a bit.

Why was he staring at her like that?

”Is something wrong Mr Li?” She asked

”I'm okay. You don't have to call him. He came over while you were asleep” He answered.

”It means you're ready for discharge right?” She asked with a tiny smile.

He let lose a laugh. ”You hate coming here?” He asked.

She was captivated by his smile. Everything about him was just so good. Those dimple of his. She had the urge to touch it. But she knew she couldn't. She wouldn't! What was she thinking? she pushed the thought out of her mind. ”No. This place is nice. Looks like an hotel even.” She ran her eyes over the room. ”But I'm happy.. I mean, it's a good thing you are getting discharged.”

'She really doesn't remember' He had at least expected her to remember their conversation. But he knew that would not be possible.

'Wait, she just said here looked like an hotel.'

”An hotel?” He asked.

”Of cour....” Sara knew something was wrong somewhere with his question. She didn't say anything else and just stared at him.
