After returning home to treat the wound and clean up, Raymond returned to the hospital at ten o'clock. He insisted on staying there all day. Even the presence of Billy and Alex at lunchtime did not bother him at all. He simply scolded the two men for pleasantries, then sat quietly on the sofa like a display.
Billy was too lazy to serve it so just thought of it like air. Alex did not comment much. To him, as long as Lorie was not distracted then it was no problem. Moreover, they also could not continue to stand by beside Lorie. So actually Raymond's presence was quite helpful.
The day passed quickly. The clouds were a little cloudy in the afternoon. Raymond lowered the curtains and turned on the lights in the room. A doctor came in with two nurses shortly afterwards. The old man checked Lorie's condition as a whole.
“Everything is stable. His physique recovered quickly. Infusion is removable, but can not eat foods that are hard and too spicy.”
After the speech was heard, the two nurses who came with the doctor immediately released the infusion on Lorie's hand. The needle-pierced wrist looked slightly swollen, but Lorie did not care much about it. Other than feeling relieved, he felt nothing more. After experiencing the event that left him in between life and death, the slight pain from a needle prick was completely meaningless.
“Is there anything else you need, Miss?” ask one of the nurses.
“For now none. I'll call you if you need anything,” replied Lorie.
“Good, Miss.” The two nurses cleaned the hose and the infusion tube deftly, then waited on the side.
“Doctor, when can I get out of the hospital?” ask Lorie.
“If the condition of Miss continues to improve, tomorrow afternoon can go home. Hopefully the results of tomorrow's visit are better.”
“I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
“No need to hesitate, I go first.”
Lorie smiled and nodded to the doctor. He really feels relieved. He had to stay in the hospital for a week or more. It seems like he should thank Ana. If not for the supportive drugs from his best friend, where maybe he can recover quickly.
Raymond, who had been silent and sitting quietly on the sofa, finally stepped in and walked over to Lorie.
“You're still here?” asked Lorie who was looking at Raymond in a slight surprise. He thought he was gone when the doctor came in with the nurse.
“Very unhappy to see me?” Raymond asked back. There was a smile on his face. Knowing that Lorie had recovered well, her heart was very happy.
Lorie softened a little. Ana's remarks this morning made her attitude towards Raymond change. Her best friend was right, no matter what motive Raymond approached her, perhaps this was the only chance for them to try. However, he also did not want to confess his feelings easily. He wanted to see how much sacrifice Raymond was willing to make for him.
“Not so I mean,” muttered Lorie. “I'm afraid you postpone important work just to accompany me here.”
“What could be more important than accompanying you?” reply Raymond.
Lorie's eyebrows bend. A bully? Hang around? What does ... oh mean, Daniel?
A moment later a soft and melodious laughter resounded within the room. So Raymond was worried that Daniel was around? It's ridiculous and sweet.
“What's funny?” raymond grumbled with a facial expression that looked extremely ugly.
Lorie asked back, “You're jealous?”
“Ya.”
“Why?”
“Why? Of course because I like you. Didn't I tell you before?”
Seeing that childish expression, Lorie increasingly wanted to annoy Raymond.
“But he liked me first. When you were with Alice, she already liked me, so she had more right to be jealous than you, her god” while smiling.
Raymond was at a loss for words. He looked at Lorie with a clear look. That speech is right. It should have been Daniel who had more right to be jealous, but ....
“But you're mine. Until anytime, you are mine,” said Raymond with full earnestness. “Whoever tries to approach you, I will get rid of them indiscriminately.”
Lorie's dumbfounded. Where is that courage? The man can claim himself at will.
As if he could guess what Lorie was thinking, Raymond touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and said, “Like it or not, you've been mine since that night, so. There was no chance of escaping again. I don't allow it.”
“You!” Lorie's face was hot. Even though the temperature in the room is very cool and cold, but his cheeks actually reddened to the ears.
The man ... since when did it become smarter to speak? Even discussed that night shamelessly. Who has lent him courage?
“Have .... already .. don't be angry again, I'm wrong. I'm sorry ...,” persuade Raymond in a very soft voice.
He stepped forward to help Lorie lie down, then put on a blanket to cover the woman's body.
“We can argue after you have completely recovered. Now rest. I'll accompany you here.”
Lorie snorted and pulled the blanket over her head. I don't care about Raymond Dawson anymore.
Besides being upset, he felt very embarrassed. Every time he talked about that night, it felt like his heart was like a craze .. craze until he almost forgot himself ....
