AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Although he didn’t say

“Sorry” was more important than any apology.

Roxane took a deep breath and said with a straight face:

– Lay over.

Jonas’ lowered eyelashes rose and he looked at her. There was still a bit of panic and uneasiness in his eyes.

-You left my dinner. I’m going to buy another one.

She explained.

Jonas let go of her hand and slowly lay down on the bed. He also loosened his grip on her arm.

Roxane threw the bag full of porridge in the trash and took out a bottle of mineral water for him.

– I have already paid the hospital costs. You don’t have to worry.

When Jonas raised his lowered head to look at her, embarrassment appeared on his face. He pursed his lips and said nothing.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

– I searched your wallet. You don’t have much money left. She sat down next to him and asked softly:

-You don’t have any money, do you?

Jonas was silent.

-Why don’t you go back to the country? Roxane asked again.

Jonas’ Adam’s apple popped and a faint mocking expression appeared on his face.

– Come back for what?

The Long family had gone bankrupt. Even if he came back, Ronald and Seraphin would only scold him for being an uneducated and incompetent good-for-nothing.

-At least you have two stores in M City. You still have things to do when you come back.

– It’s sold. I left the money with my mother.

The only thing he had left was a ticket to Paris.

– Where have you been staying for the last three months?

Roxane asked again.

– The hotel.

He could have stayed one more night, but he used the rest of his money to buy her utensils. When he returned in the afternoon, he was chased away by the hotel owner. He also had a fever, which is why he fainted by the side of the road.

Roxane remained silent for a moment before saying:

– Rest first. Don’t worry about medical costs. You can pay me back when you find a job.

“I’m going to buy dinner,” she added, getting up. You lie down and don’t move. Otherwise, I really won’t care about you anymore!

Jonas raised his head to look at her and nodded.

Roxane walked a long way to the Chinese restaurant and bought two more vegetable porridges. When she returned, she was walking hurriedly, panting, and her forehead was covered with fine drops of sweat.

When she pushed the door open and saw the man lying on the bed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn’t run away.

Jonas saw that his face was red and there were beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. He frowned and asked:

-A ghost is chasing you? Why are you running so fast?

She caught her breath and laughed at him.

– There is a patient waiting to eat.

Jonas pouted and said nothing.

Roxane took the small table to eat and gave him a portion of porridge while she ate the other portion.

Jonas had finished his dinner and the IV.

Roxane called the nurse to remove the needle and told them there would be no more IVs for the night.

– If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home first. I will come back tomorrow.

– You don’t need to come.

Before she could say anything, she heard him say:

– I can ask the nurse to buy it for me. Don’t you have to go to class?

– I will come early in the morning and go to class after eating.

She had already thought about it. With his temperament, it would be strange if he could ask for help from a nurse.

Jonas was afraid that she would be angry and ignore him again, so he didn’t insist.

Roxane was still worried. Before leaving, she went to the nurses’ station to ask the nurse on duty at night.

It was already after 11 p. m. when she returned home. She took a shower and put on her pajamas. Remembering that she hadn’t written any messages to Sebastian yet, she took out her laptop and started typing.

In addition to video calls to Sebastian every day, she also wrote him an email to tell him what happened that day, giving him all the details.

After typing more than 3000 words, he finally explained what happened today. After sending the email, she fell asleep on her bed without turning off her computer.
