    Chapter 101 The Sleepless Crabapple Flowers


    Terrence finished speaking, and Alexa’s face was terribly pale.


    “That’s impossible. He couldn’t have said that!”

    “Impossible?” Terrence said ruthlessly and suddenly pinched her jaw. “Kieran said it word by word.


    What reason do you have not to believe me? Continue to smile for him! There’s no need to act in front


    of me!”


    Alexa was forced to lift her head and look at him. Her eyes were constantly red, but she refused to let


    her tears fall.


    Terrence never believed her every time they quarreled.


    No matter how she argued, he stood firm, unwilling to believe a word she said!


    “OK then. Suit yourself.”


    Alexa said in exhaustion, obviously not wanting to continue the meaningless conversation.


    Neither of them was calm. They would both be hurt and hate each other more if this continued.


    “I have to recuperate in the hospital recently, so I won’t go back.”


    Alexay down on the bed with her back to Terrence, forcing herself to control her breathing.


    She felt so unwell right now, but she had been enduring.


    Terrence was getting more furious. He stood by Alexa’s bed and spoke in an extremely cold voice.


    “Come again?”


    “Mr. Ramsey, you may either tie me up or drag me back. Do as you please.”


    “Do you think that you can stand up to me just because you have interacted with Kieran a few


    times?” Terrence’s eyes were utterly cold. “Alexa, I warned you long ago.”


    “There’s no need for me to argue with you. Whatever you think. That’s it.”


    As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence immediately walked toward the door without looking


    back and mmed the door shut.


    She heard a loud bang, and her thin body trembled slightly.


    She thought of these peaceful days together with Terrence and felt like it was nothing but a dream. She


    couldn’t keep any of it.


    Alexay quietly on the bed and soon fell asleep.


    When she woke up, she happened to see a nurse taking off the IV drip on the iron bar.


    “How do you feel?” the nurse asked gently.


    “My waist hurts a bit.” Alexa held her forehead in a daze. “Excuse me, what time is it now?”


    “It’s four in the morning. Do you need a painkiller injection from Dr. Powell?” the nurse asked


    softly.


    “No need.” Alexa shook her head and gradually became less sleepy. “Thank you.”


    After the nurse left, the ward fell even quieter.


    All around her was empty as if a nightmare had taken hold.


    Alexa turned on the night light and walked to the window under the soft light.


    The courtyard downstairs of the hospital was nted with a brilliant field of crabapple flowers. The


    distant horizon had already revealed a ray of morning light, gently spreading across the sky.


    The crabapple flowers had yet to fall asleep, and a new day was about to begin.


    Alexa silently sighed and returned to bed.


    It seemed that Terrence didn’te back.


    Not long after, the nufse from before came back in again.


    “Ms. Duran, you haven’t slept yet?”


    “What is it?”


    “Dr. Powell prescribed a painkiller injection for you. I’ll help you inject it now.”


    “Dr. Powell is still in the hospital?”


    After asking, Alexa lifted her clothes.


    “Yes. I think it’s because of you,” the nurse smiled slightly and meaningfully. “When Dr. Powell sent you


    to the hospital, it was the first time I saw him so nervous.”


    After that, the nurse stuck a sharp needle into Alexa’s back.


    The pain spiked in an instant as the cold fluid poured into her veins.


    Alexa nearly copsed on the bed. She tried her best to endure the pain.


    “Rest well. Dr. Powell wille for rounds in two hours.”


    “OK. Thank you.”


    Alexay down again, while her heart was a mess.


    For the first time, she doubted Terrence’s words.


    Kieran had no reason to do this for her.


    Alexa tossed and turned, and finally, it was dawn.


    It was 6 o’clock after she finished washing up. The door was immediately knocked on.


    “Come in.”


    Kieran and a few doctors came in together.


    “Did you have a good sleepst night? How do you feel?” Kieran asked with a smile.


    “Much better now. Thank you, Dr. Powell.”


    As soon as Kieran walked to her bedside, Alexa immediately smelt the male perfume from him.


    And there was more…


    Alexa was very sensitive to smell. Soon enough, she smelt medicine from him as well.


    Before she came back to her senses, Kieran had already put his palm on the back of Alexa’s waist,


    massaging her orderly.


    It was the first time she had ever had such intimate contact with a man other than Terrence.


    Alexa’s body tightened, and even her breathing became nervous.


    Kieran was a top doctor, and he sensed her nervousness in an instant.


    “Rx. Don’t be nervous,” he said gently.


    “Oh… OK.”


    Alexa finally managed to calm her breathing. Kieran suddenly pressed his fingers on the back of her


    waist with force.


    “It hurts…” She subconsciously frowned, her voice soft.


    Terrence happened to enter the room, and he heard her voice clearly.


    Seeing the man standing in front of her bed, Terrence pulled a long face.


    “What are you doing?” Terrence shouted in a low voice, extremely displeased.


    Hearing his voice, Kieran closed his eyes deeply, his eyes obscure.


    “Routine check,” Kieran said coldly.


    Alexa adjusted her clothes and did not say anything.


    Terrence thought, you two have a great connection indeed.


    Terrence sneered coldly, and he was overwhelmed by rage again.


    “What did you check? Tell me.”


    Hearing Terrence’s words, Kieran calmly looked at Alexa.


    “I’ll get the results back to youter. No one else will know.”


    “Thank you, Dr. Powell.”


    Terrence thought, why is Alexa smiling at Kieran? I’m standing right here. How dare she?


    Terrence was furious. Seeing Alexa’s smile, he had the urge to pounce at Kieran and tear Kieran’s


    hypocritical smile into pieces.


    “We’ll go to the next patient now. Have a good rest. If anything happens, contact me at once.”


    “OK.”


    Alexa insisted on getting out of bed and sent Kieran and the others to the door.


    The door was closed again, and her smile immediately faded.


    Terrence was still standing in situ. When Alexa walked past him, he immediately grabbed her wrist


    without a word.


    She only used a second to collect herself. Then she looked down and saw the white roses in his other


    hand.


    “Oh, are you here to see Brynlee?” Alexa nced at him with clear eyes. “I’m afraid you are in the


    wrong ce. She is not here.”


    Terrence looked at her coldly. There was no smile in his eyes.


    “I’ve said that Brynlee is not here,” Alexa smiled and repeated it word by word.
