At the hospital


    Wesley silently watched the girl lying in the hospital bed. She was put on a drip. He called Adalson.


    “She has a high fever-39.8 degrees


    Celsius. Her burn wounds are infected. She’s been put on a drip in the hospital.”


    Adalson frowned deeply.


    “39.8? Wow. She can’t even take care of herself? I’m busy these days. Hartwell just left the city and her


    parents…” He paused, let out a sigh and continued, “Wesley, please take care of her for me, for just a


    few days.”


    Wesley looked up at the ceiling, baffled. After a moment’s silence, he promised, “Don’t worry, Uncle


    Adalson. I got this.”


    After ending the call, he returned to the ward and sat down in a chair beside the bed. He fixed his eyes


    on the sleeping girl.

    He remembered how she red at him at noon. She was full of life then, but now she Lay motionless in


    the hospital bed, with an IV drop.


    When he checked on her the first time, she didn’t look that bad. The second time, she’d fallen into a


    stupor induced by the high fever.


    He felt so helpless. Why didn’t she take care of herself?


    After thinking for a moment, he stood up from his chair and grabbed a cotton ball. He dipped it in a


    ss of water and cleaned her wounds.


    After that, he applied the new ointment to her arm.


    She trembled a little in her sleep, maybe because it stung. Wesley adjusted his technique and did it


    more tenderly and carefully.


    He noticed theplexion difference between his arm and hers. Her skin was fair and creamy-white.


    It looked as soft as a baby girl’s arm.


    Wesley put the ointment away. Hardly thinking about it, he took her small left hand in his big one.


    It felt so soft and smooth. He had never felt anything like this. He totally lost himself in this special


    feeling.


    Niles hade to the military hospital with his teacher to attend a medical seminar. It wasn’t easy to


    get a chance to attend that seminar, so he had hurried here. He heard from an acquaintance that


    Wesley was there too. He asked the ward number and came to see his brother. When he was about to


    push the door open, he was taken aback at what he saw through the windows in the door.


    ‘Oh my God! Will wonders never cease?


    That’s my idiot brother! And he’s holding a woman’s hand!” Niles eximed in his mind.


    An idea popped up in his head, and immediately, he took out his phone, switched it to silent mode and


    aimed the camera at the pair inside.


    Wesley was supposed to be pretty savvy and aware of his surroundings.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    He was hard to sneak up on. But since he was so engrossed by the touch of ir’s hand, his guard


    was down. He didn’t know Niles was standing at the doorway, snapping pics.


    Suddenly, Wesley came back to his senses. Realizing what he was doing, he was flustered and


    dropped her hand at once.
