A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 42

At six o'clock the next morning.

The sun was shining brightly through the curtains and shone on the side of Audrey's pillow.

A ray of sunlight shone on her curled eyelashes as if it had given her a dazzling layer of golden light.

Audrey, who had been feeling advancing through the mist, seemed to have finally seen a ray of dawn as she struggled towards the light.

Finally, the mist dissipated.

Her eyelashes, covered in golden light, trembled slightly. Her eyelids slowly opened, revealing her dark bright eyes. She looked tired and sleepy, but her eyes sparkled with light as if she had just woken up from a sweet dream. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She saw the white ceiling and got a whiff of disinfectant, the typical smell of hospitals.

She tilted her head slightly and saw the white pillow.

She was in the hospital.

It had been a long time since she last went to the hospital.

Except for the 'click' sound produced by the medical instrument, it was quiet in the room.

Audrey only remembered that she was walking with Kylee at the Cordova family. Then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and lost consciousness.

Now the pain had disappeared, but she still felt a little dizzy.

She muttered softly and gently ran her hand across her hair.

At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly broke the silence in the ward, "You're awake."

To Audrey, the voice sounded like thunder.

There was another person in her ward, a man who sounded like ... Bryson?

She turned around and looked into the corner of darkness, where she saw a man sitting on the sofa. Audrey could not see his face clearly.

"Mr. Bryson?" Audrey asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, it's me."

Bryson got up from the sofa and walked to Audrey's bedside. He raised his hand and touched Audrey's forehead.

"The fever has gone. How are you feeling now? Anything uncomfortable?" asked Bryson.

Audrey was flattered by Bryson's concern.

She shook her head repeatedly. "No, I'm fine now. I'm totally fine."

Bryson muttered in agreement.

Audrey then asked worriedly, "How is your grandma? Did I scare her yesterday?"

"She was scared, but she was much better after she knew you would be fine. Ms. Audrey, please don't worry."

"Great!" Audrey let out a sigh of relief.

She felt unworried as long as Kylee was fine.

Bryson did not respond to Audrey's words. He stood tall by Audrey's bedside and stared fixedly at Audrey's face with pressure.

The silence in the ward, together with Bryson's stare, made Audrey feel nervous.

"Mr. Bryson, why are you staring at me?"

"You can't eat spicy food."

She fainted yesterday because of the boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chilli. Audrey knew what Bryson meant.

She hurriedly explained, "Actually, I can eat spicy food. But I overate yesterday."

Bryson was clever enough to guess the reason immediately.

"Because of my grandma?"

"No! Partially because of her!" Audrey explained, "I haven't had the dish for a long time. I'm kind of hungry for spicy food, but..."

Audrey looked at Bryson happily, "Fortunately, it was me who fell ill."

Audrey's smile captured Bryson's heart.

His eyes twinkled with merriment as he stared at Audrey's face. "You are as important as my grandma!" said Bryson, word by word.

Audrey didn't say a word.

She hoped that Bryson could stop flirting with her. If he continued, she would definitely fall for him.

...

Fortunately, Bryson had a meeting at 8 a. m. at the Cordova Group. So Audrey didn't have to stay alone with him for too long. Later, Kylee came and brought her some delicious breakfast. She also brought a maid here to take care of Audrey.

Audrey wanted to leave the hospital in the morning, but Kylee said no. In the end, she was asked to stay in the hospital for another day for observation.

When Kylee went to the lady's room, a figure hurriedly rushed into the ward.

Nell looked at Audrey critically the moment she entered. She clicked her tongue and said, "I didn't expect that the illness didn't make you haggard; instead, you looked prettier!"

Audrey rolled her eyes.

"Stop joking, Nell." She wasn't in the mood.

Nell put the fruit on the bedside table and looked around.

"Are you alone?"

"Grandma is in the lady's room!" Audrey reminded her, "The maid has left to fetch some water."

Nell nodded knowingly. Then she furtively asked, "Is Bryson here?"

"He went to work."

"Great!" Nell patted her chest and sighed with relief.

Audrey narrowed her eyes to stare at Nell, who looked guilty, "What's the matter? Have you done something wrong?"

Nell chuckled, "Well, not so wrong."

"So, what happened exactly? By the way, how do you know I am in the hospital?"

"Well, since you went to the Cordova family yesterday, I called you last night."

Nell's tone gave Audrey a bad premonition.

"And then?"

Nell did not dare face Audrey. She stared at the ceiling and whispered, "Then, before you could speak, I asked if you had slept with Bryson. I even told you to drug him. However, then I realized that it was Bryson who was answering my phone call."

Audrey was in stunned silence.

OMG! She could not imagine the look on Bryson's face when he heard Nell.

"Nell Hutt, look what you have done!" Audrey was just about to catch Nell.

Kylee walked out of the lady's room.

Nell immediately stood straight and folded her hands, politely nodding at Kylee.

"Nice to meet you, Grandma. I'm Elliana's friend."

Audrey, trying her best to look calm, introduced Nell to Kylee, "Grandma, this is Nell Hutt. We all call her Nell."

Kylee smiled warmly at Nell.

"So you're Elliana's friend. Take a seat, please!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Audrey glared at Nell again. But Nell ignored her.

"Grandma, you look so young that I thought you are in your fifties. What's your secret?"

Nell was a master of compliments. She easily amused Kylee.

"Oh, I'm glad to hear that. But I'm already in my seventies."

"My grandmother is also in her seventies, but you look much younger than her. How do you do that?"

Audrey was totally neglected.

"You sweet girl!" Kylee looked at Nell happily, "How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
