Chapter 391


    Rubbing his temples in a bid to alleviate his headache, Frank took off his mask. Heaving a sigh, he


    massaged his stiff shoulder.


    “He’s no longer in any real danger, but he had been seriously injured. He has multiple second degree


    burns and his lungs are damaged from inhaling too much smoke. He’s going to be in the hospital for at


    least three weeks.”


    “I need to see him.” She tried to go into the ward.


    Frank stopped her. “He’s awake, but you can’t go in there. He needs an asepsis environment while his


    burns heal. If you go in there right now, you might take in bacteria.”


    Disappointment darkened J’s eyes. She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, lowering her


    head apologetically. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”


    “It’s okay.” Frank knew that she was just worried about Ethan. He raised his chin at the window. “You


    can see him through the ss, but you should ready your heart for the sight. He’s all wrapped up in


    gauze. I don’t think even he himself ever imagined someday he’d look just like a mummy.”

    J smiled, knowing that Frank was making jokes in a bid to make her feel better.


    After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and walked to the window. Lifting a hand to the ss,


    she looked at the man lying on the bed.


    Ethan’s eyes were closed and there was an IV needle attached to his wrist. He had a venttor on, and


    much like Frank had said, he was wrapped up in bandages and gauze like a mummy. He looked


    terrible. J had never seen him like that before.


    It seemed like Ethan sensed a gaze on him, because he opened his eyes and turned his head, locking


    eyes with her. He couldn’t speak, so he could only blink at her from the other side of the ss. His


    gaze was gentle andforting.


    Tears came to her eyes again unbidden and she hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand to keep


    her sobs froming out. If he had not helped her down first, he wouldn’t have been suffering like this.


    Frank walked over with his hands behind his back. “Wow, even when he’s that injured he can still


    torment single people with PDA. What a jerk!” he joked, trying tofort her.


    J wiped her tear-filled eyes and gave him a watery smile. “I forgot to thank you, Doctor Watson.


    Thank you so much for saving him.”


    “You’re wee.” Frankughed in his mind. Ethan invested in the hospital. There was nothing to


    thank him for. If anything, he should be the one thanking Ethan.

    J had taken a lot of days off from work in a row in order to take care of Ethan. Since it was the off


    season, Tiffany approved her leave without asking too many questions.


    Frank had gotten a room for her to sleep in, so she stayed in the hospital for several days. The service


    was great in the private hospital and due to Frank’s excellent skills as a doctor, Ethan’s condition


    improved quickly. After the fourth test, Frank told J it was okay to enter the ward to visit Ethan.


    A nurse put J in an asepsis gown and took her into the ward.


    Ethan was now wearing a hospital gown but he still had gauze wrapped around his body inside.


    Standing beside the bed and looking at him, J couldn’te up with any words. She sobbed


    instead, biting her lower lip in a bid to hold her tears back.


    Ethan couldn’t bear the sight of her crying. He gave her a gentle smile, and tried to talk about


    something else. “Has the cause of the fire been determined? Did anyone tell you?”
