Chapter 055 I Miss You, Barret

Barret turned off the screen after glancing at it and didn’t reply to any messages.

Jenny asked tentatively, “Is there anything wrong? I heard your phone kept ranging just now.”

“No, there’s nothing.”

“Oh.” Since he didn’t say anything, she couldn’t ask him about the message. After Jenny dried her hair, Barret turned off the light in the bedroom and lay on the bed.

The room was quiet. For a while, Jenny felt that she could clearly hear their breathing. She covered herself with a quilt and closed her eyes, and didn’t say anything to him. However, she could feel Barret’s mobile phone vibrating all the time, and the screen was always on.

Barret turned over to look at the phone, then his breathing became heavy. Some undefinable time later, she heard a slight sound. Jenny opened her eyes slightly and saw that Barret had gotten up from the bed and was changing clothes.

So he had agreed to visit her. He must have decided to go to the hospital or he wouldn’t get up at this time.

Jenny felt her body become stiff. She was like a statue at this time, laying in the bed woodenly, and did

not dare to move.

Jenny closed her eyes as if she was afraid of being discovered. A few minutes later, Barret might have changed his clothes, and the sound of the door closing came into Jenny’s ears.

She knew that he had left. Not only did he not tell her anything, but he also went to visit Laura after she fell asleep. He must have thought that she had fallen asleep and knew nothing. Well, it was just too pitiful

that she knew everything.

“Barret.” Jenny covered the quilt and cried out his name painfully. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Suddenly, there was rumbling thunder outside, as if it were about to rain. Jenny sat on the bed. The

darkness in the room made the sound of thunder even harsher.

When Barret arrived at the hospital, it had begun to rain. Laura’s ward was empty. Barret asked the doctor and the nurse and finally knew Laura was outside. He saw Laura sitting in the open-air lounge in the rain Through the window. Barret immediately held an umbrella and ran down. When he saw that her whole

body was drenched in the rain and her wrist was swollen, all his anger turned into worry. He put the umbrella over her head and whispered, “Let’s go back.”

Hearing his voice, Laura immediately turned around and smiled with satisfaction at him. “You’re here. I

knew you would come. You are still worried about me, don’t you? You still can’t let me go, don’t you?” Laura cried with joy as she said that.

Barret didn’t say anything but only pushed her back to the ward. After they got into the ward, he ordered

the care worker, “Push her in to take a hot shower and help her to change clothes.”

About ten minutes later, Laura came out in clean pajamas, and the doctor was already waiting in the

ward. Laura was about to speak, but Barret said first, “Look at her wound, and bind it up carefully.” Hearing his order, the doctor immediately walked over. Barret stood aside and waited for the doctor to do his work. When he saw that her wrist was not only getting worse but even a bit rotting, he instantly frowned. After dealing with her wound, the doctor left with the nurse.

Laura sat on the bed in a quiet and obedient manner. Barret stared at her with a gloomy look, and the

atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

Finally, Laura spoke to him first, “Barret, don’t look at me like this. I’m afraid of your gaze.”

“Now you said you’re afraid. Why didn’t you cooperate with the doctor? Why didn’t you be afraid your wound would get worse? Do you know where you were injured?”

“I know.” Laura looked up at him with an aggrieved look. “You don’t care, so why should I care?”

“You should know that I hate you using the injury to threaten me the most.”

“I know, but it was the only way for me to meet you,” Laura grabbed Barret’s hand, “Barret, I was wrong. shouldn’t have used my injury as an excuse, but I miss you. I miss you so much. Do you know what I’ve been like these days? I can’t fall asleep every night. Whenever I was awake or sleep, all I thought about was you.

No man, no matter how cold blood he was, could be indifferent when facing a woman who cried and expressed her love and longing for him, and Barret was not an exception.

He couldn’t bear to see her like that. Barret put her hand under the quilt and tucked her in, “Go to sleep. I won’t leave now.”

“Really?” Laura asked in surprise, and her face was full of happiness and satisfaction.

“Yes.”

The rain outside the window was getting heavier. Barret listened to the thunder and frowned. It was not like it would rain when he left home, and he didn’t expect it would rain in such a short time. Jenny was

afraid of thunder. He wondered whether she slept well at home or not. Barret looked at Laura, who was lying on the bed, and Barret was in a quandary.

At that moment, Jenny was in the taxi. After the thunder roamed for a while, she decisively went out of home and got a taxi. She was so scared that she decided to stay in Penny’s apartment for a night. But she was in such a hurry and forgot to take her mobile phone. The rain was getting heavier, and Jenny suddenly remembered that she did not only forget her mobile phone, but when she came out, it had not begun to rain, she even forgot to take an umbrella.

The street lights were dim, and there were few cars on the road. The buildings in the distance seemed

blurred in the heavy rain.

Jenny holds herself in the back of the car alone. It was not until that time that she felt a little afraid. Sat in the car, Jenny remembered all the tragic criminal news about the taxi. The more she thought about it, the more she was afraid, and the tighter she held herself.

Fortunately, she remembered Penny’s address. When they arrived at the Penny community, she paid the taxi fee and rushed wildly to the community. Because there was still a distance between the community gate and the elevator, Jenny had to run in the rain. It wasn’t until she pressed the doorbell of Penny that

she felt relief.

However, when she saw the person who opened the door, she was stunned.

Jerome? Why was he here at midnight?

Jenny was no longer an innocent girl. She knew it must mean something when a man stayed at a

woman’s house late at night.

For a moment, maybe both of them were too surprised, no one spoke.

Penny’s voice came from inside, “Jerome, did the takeout come so soon? Take it in. I’m so hungry!”
