One Night Surprise Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Knit for Me
Once they’d crossed the road, the frightened woman took the child from Mike’s hand. This time, her
in and elegant face was stained with tears.
Then, she squatted down and wrapped her arms around the little girl, seeming like she had exhausted
all her strength just to feel her presence. Then, Mike heard a slight whimper and frowned before
walking away.
It wasn’t his strong suit to witness a woman’s fragility.
Just as he took a step away, a delicate little hand hooked his finger, and a hint of warmth flowed into
his blood along the fingertip.
When he turned his head, his cold face did not reflect the warmth in his heart. The little girl looked at
him with big clear eyes, and despite his slight struggle to free himself, her little hand stubbornly
grabbed onto his index finger.
“What do you want?”
His tone was not friendly.
“Thank you, mister.”
The little one squinted as she smiled at him. Then, she handed the balloon to him and repeated,
“Thank you, mister. My name is Cadance Mint.”
When the girl’s mother finally came to her senses, she looked up at Mike with an apologetic smile.
Then, she wiped her tears on her face and reached for something in her bag.
Mike watched her and saw that she was taking out all the cash in her bag after a while. She was about
to stuff them into his hand as his face turned gloomy. His hands were just hanging by his side
motionlessly.
“Don’t get me wrong. You’re a good person. You’ve saved Cadance, and I don’t know how to express
my gratitude. So, this is just a little something from me.”
When the woman noticed the unhappy expression on Mike’s face, she quickly exined incoherently.
However, he was in shock when he heard the sentence from the woman’s mouth; he couldn’t hide his
panic. ‘You are a good man.’
It was rare for anyone topliment him like that.
He wasn’t a good guy. His hands are dirtied with blood. He was a demon.
“It’s okay.”
He quickly concealed the emotion in his eyes and spoke faintly. Then, he took the balloon from the little
girl’s hand and said,
“This is enough.”
“Mister, I still have something to tell you.”
The little girl tilted her head mysteriously, making Mike hesitate. Although he was not curious, he still
asked, “What is it?”
She then hooked her fingers around his again, making him squat down. Suddenly, a warm breath hit
his cheek, burning slightly.
“Mommy said that little girls are not allowed to kiss anyone, but I don’t think Mommy will mind if I give
you a kiss.”
The little girl gleamed, contrasting with the flustered look on her mother’s face. Her mother quickly
pulled the child into her arms and exined with a flustered smile, “She’s still young, don’t mind—”
Mike finally stopped holding back his smile and got up as he touched the little girl’s head, interrupting
her mother.
“Your daughter is adorable.”
After that, as he walked along the street, the wind felt a little warmer, and the street lights seemed a
little brighter. He looked up at the city’s tall buildings, and a few stars shone in the small portion of the
sky overhead.
At this moment, a thought popped up in his mind. He took out his phone and sent a message to the
only person he cared about in this city.
“I met a cute little girl on the road today. She’s really adorable.”
He could imagine the shock in L’s eyes when she saw his text and how a smile would slowly creep
onto her face after she calmed down.
“Have you gotten off work? I haven’t had dinner yet.”
When Mike received that message, he smiled and kept his phone before he called out for a taxi.
When he arrived at the ward of the Warmorth Hospital, he saw a thin figure sitting on the snow-white
sheets from the door’s window. Her knuckled hands were quickly and skillfully knitting a sweater.
The dark blue wool was quietly woven into the sweater’s sleeves between her fingers. When the
woman stopped topare each side, a delighted smile appeared on her face.
Had it not been for the fact that the hospital gowns on women under the incandescent light were
extremely eye-catching, it would’ve been a serene sight.
Mike, who stood outside the doors, felt his eyes dry. He let out a low cough and heard L’s flustered
voice, followed by rustling sounds.
“Mike, you’re here.”
L was already sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed when he opened the door and went in. The
half-knitted sweater was tucked under the pillow, revealing only two slender wooden needles.
“I’ve bought you beef noodle soup.”
Mike’s face was calm as he feigned ignorance. He passed the beef noodle soup to her, and she quickly
took it. Her mouth began to water.
It was the moment when she took it from him that she saw the scratch on his wrist, and her dull yellow
face sank in an instant. Then, she grabbed his arm and lifted his sleeve.
Hidden under the sleeve was an even more shocking wound because it seemed like it had not been
treated in time. There was dry blood around the injury, and some blood had stained the sleeve of the
white T-shirt.
L bit her lips and remained silent as she examined the wound. Instead, she got up and walked out of
the room beforeing back after a short while with a red ointment and a gauze that she had asked
from the nurse in her hands.
Then, she quickly and skillfully lowered her head and cleaned up his wounds. L remained silent and
buried her head down low. Suddenly, Mike felt two drops of warm liquid on his wrist, and his heart
tightened.
“I was waiting at the traffic light on the side of the road. A little girl was almost hit by a car, and I
identally hurt myself when I rescued her,” he exined nonchntly while his other hand helped
pull her messy hair back. L’s careful movements stopped after she heard this.
“You should’ve been more careful,” she tried to sound angry, but the relief in her tone was evident. Her
heart had also calmed down inadvertently.
Because she had kept her head down, she did not notice how he looked at her tenderly. Then, as she
continued to clean his wound for him, she threatened angrily, “If you get hurt again in the future, I’m not
going to help you clean it. Go to the nurse yourself.”
“Okay, I know.”
Mike raised his eyebrows slightly and actually nodded in agreement. Right then, Lisa felt like she was
punched in the gut. At the end of the day, it was she who suffered internally.
Then, she stuffed the remaining ointment and gauze into his hands angrily.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“You go give it back to the nurse. Also, Lily had just asked me why I haven’t seen you in two days?”
At this moment, L’s face changed. Mike noticed the subtle change in her expression and felt
something was wrong. However, he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
“Okay, enjoy your food. I’ll be back soon.”
As he got up, he thought about all the possibilities and concluded that it was maybe because she was
so hungry that she got into a bad mood.
L almost copsed when she saw him get up to leave. She immediately grabbed the pillow beside
her and swung it on his back. However, she had identally taken out the half-knitted sweater hidden
under the pillow. The blue wool rolled from the bed to Mike’s feet.
He had pretended to be ignorant for more than a month, but right now, it was hard to put on an act.
“Are you knitting for me?”
He picked up the sweater, and his stubbled face was covered with a shy smile.
Unfortunately, L snatched it back angrily and hid it under the quilt this time.
He felt embarrassed when he saw her giving him the cold shoulder. Apart from vulnerability, witnessing
a woman’s anger was also something that he was not good at.
L patiently anticipated for him to say something nice. Who would’ve expected that instead of hearing
his voice, she heard the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther, followed by the sound of the
door mmed shut?
This left Liba dumbfounded as she didn’t expect him to vacate the room just like that.
