Chapter 1151


    Sierra finally became serious. Seeing that she seemed to believe him, Eddison breathed a sigh of relief.


    Sierra looked at him soberly for a while before she stretched out her hand to him.


    "Thank you for worrying about me. I''m really happy."


    Eddison shook his head, "I just don''t want you to suffer any harm."


    She chuckled, "With your protection, how would | be harmed? However, | really like Jairus a lot!"


    He was staggered, "Are you sure you like him?"


    Sierra nodded.


    "| don''t know if I''ve told you before, but | grew up in a single-parent family. When | was very young, my dad left. I''ve never felt my


    father''s warmth in my life. However, Jairus makes me feel secure and wanted. Do you understand that kind of feeling?"


    Eddison curled his fingers slightly and mumbled, "I can do that too."


    She looked at him suspiciously. "What?"


    Looking at Sierra, he took a deep breath and said, "I said I-"


    Before his voice died away, they heard a nurse''s voiceing from the outside.


    "Miss Rachel, this way!"


    Eddison was astounded. He quickly looked at the doorway, to find that Rachel was walking down the corridor with her head


    down.


    Thinking of the paleness on her face from the previous night, a trace of uncertainty arose in his mind.


    Seeing that he seemed preupied while staring at the corridor, Sierra took a look as well.


    "Is that someone you know?"


    He said, "I have something to do."


    Sierra smiled at him, "Go! I''m grateful that you care about me. However, I''ve chosen to live my own life. | believe in my own


    decision that | haven''t made the wrong choice. Even if Jairus didn''t do good things in the past, | believe that he will change for


    me.


    In the end, he just pursed his lips without saying anything.


    Outside, Rachel was standing with a prescription in her hand. It happened that when she raised her head, she saw Eddison


    coming out from a ward.


    She took a curious look at the ward but her arm


    had already been grabbed by him.


    “What happened to you? Why did youe to the hospital?"


    She was in pain due to his grasp, and she said, "Ouch, please let go of me first."


    Only then did he realize that he had lost hisposure. He let her go and took a step back. He looked at her eagerly, waiting for


    her answer.


    Rachel replied, "It''s nothing. I''m just having a minor headache. That''s why I came here, but it''s just amon cold. The doctor


    has prescribed me medicine, and | can leave after taking the medicine."


    He saw the prescription and breathed a sigh of relief. Rachel had ended up being in Country M because of him. If something bad


    happened to her, he would not feel at ease.


    As he knew she was okay, he felt rxed.


    However, his words were still not pleasing to the ear as he said, "It''s good that you''re fine. However, this is what you get when


    you don''t take good care of yourself. Frankly, you had thising."


    Rachel was not fazed by his tone as she was used to such a treatment.


    She gazed at the ward and asked, "An acquaintance of yours is sick? Is it your ssmate? Should | go and say hello?"


    To her, she was Eddison''s wife.


    She had been taught that a man''s wife should express some courtesy to his friends by at least saying hello to them.


    Unexpectedly, he refused her request without hesitation.


    "There''s no need for that!”


    Although she did not understand him, sheplied with him, "Okay! Then, I''ll get the medicine first."


    She finished her words in a muffled voice, turned around and was about to leave.


    Maybe because she was not feeling well that day, she had not put on any make-up. In conjunction with therge white T-shirt


    that she was wearing, she looked as white as a sheet.


    Her hair touched his shoulder when she walked past him. He instantly recalled that she had waited for him outside the apartment


    for the whole night.


    For some reason, he couldn''t help but feel sorry for her.


    "I''ll go with you!"


    The air of despondency, which surrounded her, was dispelled right away.


    "Will it trouble you?"


    He directly rolled his eyes at her, "Forget it."


    Rachel grabbed his arm hurriedly, "No! You already said that you want toe with me. You can''t go back on your words!"


    Exasperated, Eddison said, "Let go of my hand."


    "But you can''t leave me.”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go in three seconds, or you will know the consequences! One -two-"


    She seemed to be really afraid, hence she slowly loosened her grip on his arm. Just when she was about to let go of him, they


    heard a voice behind them. It was a familiar voice to Eddison.


    "“Eddison, you forgot to take your things. Thank God, you''re still here."


    He was taken aback and unconsciously pushed Rachel away while turning to look at Sierra, who hade out of the ward.


    Rachel was feeble that day. As a result, his push made her bump into the back of a chair behind her with a bang.


    However, Eddison did not look back at her.


    Rachel struggled to get up and looked curiously at thedy in front of them.
