Chapter 45 The Proposal


    Hal was so anxious that he started to sweat. He couldn''t cover himself with the quilt, so he opened it.


    The rest of the quilt was half covered by her.


    "Do you really agree, Polly?"


    "I didn''t say anything!"


    "Dear Polly, I know you! If you don''t agree, you will immediately state your position. Only when you


    have another idea in your mind will you refuse to answer! " Holding her by the arm, Hal asked, "do you


    really want? Are you really going to gamble on your own happiness for the rest of your life? "


    Polly shook his head. What she meant was that she would never have a happy marriage in her life. But


    seeing Polly''s reaction, Hal got relieved.


    "Dear Polly, I know your parents are in bad condition. If you trust me, I will help you deal with those


    things. I''ll pay their debt as soon as possible. And I will help you to find them back. "


    A moment of amazement shed through Polly''s eyes, but soon she calmed down. She thought he


    was justforting her by saying so.


    "No, thanks. You''d better have a good rest. I''ll take care of my parents myself! "


    "What are you going to do with her? Just like Avril, have to work part-time? Even so, how long will it


    take to pay that much money back? Five years, ten years or twenty? Dear Polly, don''t be so naive! "


    "But, what can you do to help me, Hal? How are you going to help me? Working for me? Or borrow


    money from your parents? You know, I can''t ept your help! "


    Hal stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips. With a more tired look on his face, he said, "Dear


    Polly, trust me, I absolutely have a way to help you! I''m not bragging! "


    "You are not lying. You are justforting me. Hal, I know what you mean. I really appreciate it. " Polly


    choked with sobs and could say nothing.


    "I''m notforting you! I''m serious! I have the strength to do that! I... "

    Hal wanted to say what he was thinking, but at this moment, the door of the ward opened. As they


    talked, they walked inside.


    However, when they saw what was going on in the ward, both of them stopped. In fact, the problem


    was that only Bruce stopped his steps. Avril wanted to go inside, but she was stopped by the man in


    front of her.


    She stretched her head and took a look inside. Her face changed instantly.


    The sheets covering Hal were casually put down on Polly''s bed. From the way they stood at the door,


    they seemed to have juste out of the same bed.


    Seeing what was happening in front of him, Bruce squinted his eyes and tightened his lips. She cleared


    her throat and tried to break the ice, "Hey, I''m telling you to wrap yourself in the quilt. Don''t catch a


    cold. Why don''t you listen to me? You are so young but you still wear very few clothes and go out for a


    walk. Don''t you think that you haven''t stayed in hospital for a long time? "


    She smiled and said to Bruce, "Mr. He, pleasee in. I didn''t expect that you woulde so soon. "


    As she spoke, she winked at Hal.


    As if he didn''t see it, instead of taking off the quilt, Hal took it off and covered her with the quilt.


    "She just caught a coldst night. Now, you should pay attention to keep yourself warm. As a man, I


    don''t care if I wear little clothes or not! It''s just a bed. I don''t care how much I need. "


    Hearing this, the light in Bruce'' s eyes dimmed.


    Seeing this, even Avril''s face turned pale. But she couldn''t lose her temper in front of Bruce, so she had


    to re at Hal.


    What was wrong with this guy at this time!


    After tucking her in, Hal tested her forehead with his hand and said with concern, "Dear Polly, take care


    of yourself. It''s such a coincidence that my ward is next to yours. Call me if you need anything! "


    Avril was furious!


    ''he must have done it on purpose!''! Although they were in the same hospital, his ward was upstairs.


    When did he move to the next ward?


    She admitted that Hal had a good rtionship with Dear Polly, but at present, they really couldn''t be


    together. She couldn''t even take care of her own family, let alone take care of him, who was weak and


    sick.


    The most important thing is that Dear Polly doesn''t have feelings for him.


    Now she had just walked out of the pain brought by that bad man, Kevin. How could he be so selfish!


    He was not such a person!


    As far as she knew, Polly and Hal were used to getting along with each other, and he was always as


    weak as this woman, who never treated him as an opposite person. She didn''t feel anything about his


    concern at the beginning, butter she felt something wrong.


    And the way Bruce looked at her made her feel ufortable.


    She subconsciously shrank her legs and said to Hal, "thank you, Hal. You''re not in good health too. You


    can go back to have a rest first."


    Hal''s eyes be some hot, soft tone of the like to put on the dawn of the warm wind," Dear Polly,


    you now so, I don''t trust you, let me sit for a while."


    Feeling more awkward, she looked up at Bruce awkwardly.


    Avril was so angry that she forgot Bruce''s presence. She pushed the door open, walked in, put the


    kettle on the ground, and pulled Hal over. Hal that thin body, he pulled a stagger


    Seeing him so weak, Avril felt pity for him, but she had no choice. She tried her best to endure the pain.


    She bit her lips and said to Hal, "now I''m here, and Mr. He is also here. You don''t have to worry about


    him. You can go back first. And I heard your mother was calling you! You''d better go there quickly to


    have a look. Don''t make the old people worry about you! You''ve already worried enough! "


    There was a heavy ent on the words'' worried ''on Avril. He must be able to understand her


    implication. At this moment, the helplessness and pain in his eyes made her unbearable to look directly


    at him. She quickly turned her head.


    "All right, all right! Let''s go! " Avril pushed him away.


    "What the hell do you want, Hal?" After closing the door of the ward, Avril finally couldn''t stand it


    anymore. She tried her best to cut down the voice. "Why are you getting involved in the rtionship


    between Dear Polly and Bruce!"


    "How dare you!" His face was as pale as a piece of paper. The blood capiries under his skin could be


    clearly seen. He said, "Avril, just do whatever you want to normally! Now you are trying your best to


    push Polly to Bruce. How much do you know about him! Dear Polly didn''t even know who he was! You


    are hurting her! You will regret it one day! "


    "It sounds like you know Bruce very well! I advise you not to follow the news on the Inte like a


    gossip! I''ve seen clearly Bruce''s attitude towards Dear Polly! "


    "You! You! You are so unreasonable! " Then he turned around and left.


    A talkative man like him suddenly became so silent, which made her uneasy.


    He hadn''t said a word since he entered the room. His eyes nced over the quilt on her body, the


    pillow she leaned on, and then turned to the bowl of porridge on the table.


    She didn''t know what he was looking at as he couldn''t possibly focus on the porridge.


    She hesitated for a long while and opened her mouth, "Bruce, I''m with Hal, and Avril. We''re good


    friends. We''re having a great time..."


    "So, you wanted him to cover you with the quilt, to let him feel the temperature of your forehead, and to


    let him treat you so gently, right?"


    "Bruce, I..."


    "Dear Polly. I really want to tell you that I don''t care, but unfortunately, I can''t do it." Bruce sat in front of


    her, holding her cold little hand in his warm palm. "At this time, I don''t want to increase your


    psychological burden, but I still have to tell you, I am jealous!"


    The feeling ofplete trust and intimacy between him and another man upset him greatly. Because


    she had been on him guard ever since the first day they met.


    When could she get aplete trust and she was willing to open her heart to him when facing him?


    "The weather is so hot that I can''t cover two quilts." She struggled to get rid of his grip and tried to pull


    the quilt off her body.


    That person brought her a very ufortable feeling today, now Bruce sitting in front of her, with such


    a sad and deeply attached eyes staring at her, feel more ufortable


    "No need!" Before she could say anything more, he grabbed her hand tightly and said, " so cold. It''s not


    a big deal." Then he pressed back the quilt.


    "Thank you." She expressed her sincere gratitude to him.


    He sighed, and his eyes were filled with loneliness. "Why should I thank you? Dear Polly, I think you


    don''t have to be so reserved when we are alone. You are going to be my wife. If you feel


    ufortable, then I will also feel ufortable. "


    Even though Polly had prepared herself for this, her heart still beat fast when she heard the word


    "wife".


    "Why do you look at me like that?" Bruce smiled and reached out his hand to caress her face. "You


    promised mest night."


    She couldn''t help but step back. But Bruce didn''t let her. He followed her closely.


    Her cold and smooth skin turned red and hot when being rubbed with the callus in his palm. She


    mumbled in a low voice, st night, I didn''t..." Promise me to be your wife.


    However, when she remembered that scene, she almost said yes.


    Bruce grinned, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His voice was still gentle, "then, Dear Polly, are you


    going to regret?"


    Clenching her fists, she replied decisively, "no! I just thought it was a bit abrupt. "


    Bruce said slowly, "but it''s too long for me."


    He was different from ordinary people like her. His time, every minute and every second were precious.


    He could make a person like her unimaginable value all her life.


    However, due to his mother''s coercion to marry, he could not put all his attention on work.


    "Can we not get married, Bruce? To convince your mother, I think we can live together for the time


    being. " Her voice trailed off.


    The expression on his face gradually became cold, as if the coldness of the earth had frozen. He


    asked, "then do you want to live with a man before marriage?"
