Chapter 157 - One Hundred And Fifty-seven: I Want To Invade Your Heart (2/2)

”Fine, just do whatever you want ” I lay on my bed slowly and carefully.

Breathing was such a huge job to me but the doctor recommended taking deep breaths even if it hurts to keep off pneumonia.

I looked towards the door hoping for a certain person to walk in but nothing happened. I wanted to ask Eden if he visited but I couldn't, both of them disliked each other.

”Here, I am done with this” Eden placed the plate of sliced apples on the table.

”You should take those to get better” he advised after discovering I wasn't interested in the fruit.

”Where are you going? ” I asked Eden.

He got to his feet, brushing invisible dust from the back and sides of his pants, ”I need to leave ”

”Work?”

”Uh-huh,” He murmured, then glanced up with a grin at the corners of his lips, ”Why? You miss me already?”

I snorted, ”Miss, my butt. I just need you around for the errands, you know how demanding I can be sometimes ”

Without warning, Eden propelled himself forward, supporting himself by pressing against the wall as he hovered over me.

”What are you doing?” I gulped, ”You promised not to do anything to me” came my reminder as his breath ghost over my face.

”Why is it you?” He asked and I blinked in confusion.

What's he saying this time?

”What gibberish are you talking about? Get away please, you're invading my space ”

” I want to invade your heart”

His blunt confession made my mouth remain agape for all least two minutes, my eyes widened.

I was stunned, was Eden confessing he liked me? No, this must be one of his tricks again.

”Gotcha!” Eden flicked me on the forehead as he got off me,” You're too gullible”

I pouted, rubbing that spot. I was right, he was just fooling around with me. Thank God I didn't trust him one bit.

”Have a good time, I'll be back ” He waved and left.

Whatever, what fun could I possibly have, alone and in pain at a hospital?

Sigh, I spent the next hour flipping through television channels and social media platforms on my phone, none of it eradicated the boringness but it gave me a good opportunity to evaluate my life.

Save for Spencer's dramas, nothing was interesting about my life. I just had two friends - Cecil and Emily - nothing else. Not even a dog or cat was my company in this lonely hospital room - huh?

I glanced up hoping whoever was at the door was either Emily or Cecil or even those two devils - anything was better than nothing.

But I blanched in shock when Adam walked into my room with his authoritative aura and impassive features that twisted into a smile once our eyes met.

That smile did nothing to calm me down instead it sent nerves flying, what have I done this time?

”You look quite shocked to see me,” He said and I realized my jaw almost dropped to the ground.

”N-no” I cleared my throat,” Is not every day that I get to receive someone of your magnitude” I replied politely.

”You should bear with me, I'm not fit enough to welcome you” I hinted he should make himself comfortable.

His eyes roved over my hospital gown interestedly, ”Of course, I came to visit a patient, that's expected”

That was expected of course, but I didn't expect him to leave the couch at the end, instead took the seat beside my bed- God, this was so uncomfortable.

Grandma raised me to be a respectful person and I showed that -enemies or not - unless you decide to take liberties with me.

I respected Adam for the elder he is but I have never liked him from the very beginning.

My sixth sense plus Niklaus' upbringing history gave me an analysis of him; someone who would go to any length to achieve what he wants.

Even being alone with him right now sent the chills down my spine. Adam hits me as a dangerous man - probably more than Sakuzi - and I could not settle with him around me.

”How are you feeling?” He asked.

”Fine ” I answered curtly.

”No need to waste time then, let's go down to the reason for my visit, shall we?”
