Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Be Your Man

Yuliana told Craig and James she was hospitalized and would be away from the office for about a week. With that, she asked Craig to handle the company’s daily affairs. As for those documents that needed her review and approval, Yuliana would do it online. Those documents that could not be handled online should be gathered and sent to the hospital.

A whole ten minutes passed when Yuliana had done assigning the tasks.

Yuliana picked up the spoon and tried to eat again. The temperature was just right by then. However, she seemed to have a blister in her mouth as the oatmeal she had eaten just now was too hot. Thus, she felt uncomfortable every time she took a bite.

After taking a few bites, she did not feel like eating anymore.

She put down the spoon and began to read the message on WhatsApp.

Right then, the phone rang.

.

Yuliana paused in her tracks and realized that her phone was not ringing. She glanced at Christopher and. noticed that Christopher remained indifferent as he answered the call.

Christopher, who seemed to have noticed Yuliana’s gaze, looked toward her.

Yuliana retracted her gaze and continued to read the message on WhatsApp.

At the same time, Yuliana heard Christopher say emotionlessly, “It’s you who wanted to break up. I just respect your decision.”

The caller was Elaine.

Christopher and Elaine had a big fight after the former knew that Elaine had gone to look for Yuliana. To be exact, Elaine quarreled with Christopher one-sidedly and then requested breaking up with him.

Naturally, Christopher respected her request. After the fight, they had been out of touch for half a month.

“I regret it. Can’t I?” Elaine cried at the other end of the line as she continued incoherently, “I don’t want to break up with you. I’m wrong, okay? I won’t go and look for Yuliana again. I won’t stop you from meeting your son. Christopher, don’t break up with me, okay?”

Christopher did not seem touched as he listened to Elaine’s words. Calmly, he uttered, “You drank too much.”

“Yes. I drank a lot! If not, I won’t even dare to call you!” Elaine burst into tears. “Christopher, I have to protect my pride, too. I’ve never lowered my stance to beg anyone. I love you so much. Why can’t you be nicer to me?*

Christopher raised his hand and rubbed his temples. After remaining silent for a while, he said, “Go to bed first. I’ll go and look for you later.”

Elaine could not believe it. “A-Are you serious? You aren’t lying to me?”

“Yes.”

Elaine was instantly thrilled. “Okay! Hurry and come over. I’ll wait for you.”

Christopher did not say anything else before hanging up the phone.

“You don’t have to stay in the hospital to keep me company. I can handle it myself,” Yuliana said while replying to the messages.

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang again.

Still, it was not Yuliana’s phone.

Christopher looked at the message before putting his phone away. “Hailey will come to the hospital at noon. Before that, look for the nurse if anything happens. I’m leaving.”

After saying that, Christopher picked up the coat draped over the back of the chair and left immediately.

Yuliana stared dazedly at the phone screen for a while before she continued to reply to the messages.

Hailey arrived at the hospital at half past eleven. She brought Rowan along, too.

When they arrived, Yuliana was still on an IV drip.

Rowan started crying when he caught sight of the needle in the back of Yuliana’s hand. “Mommy, I’ll blow on it,” uttered Rowan.

Then, he gently blew at the area where the needle was inserted.

Yuliana felt a surge of warmth rush to her heart. After wiping her son’s tears, she voiced, “Mommy is fine. It doesn’t hurt at all. Mommy will recover once the medicine flows into my body through the needle. Then, Mommy can play with you, Rowan.”

Rowan tried hard to hold back his tears. “But it hurt a lot when I was pricked by the needle last time.”

“That’s because you’re still young. Your blood vessel is small too. That’s why it felt painful. Mommy is an adult, so it only hurts a little.”

Yuliana dared not let Rowan get too close to her, even though she had calmed him down.

For lunch, Hailey also prepared some oatmeal and some other light and nutritious side dishes. After eating. Yuliana urged Hailey to bring Rowan home.

In the afternoon, Yuliana took a nap.

When she woke up, she saw someone sitting by the bed. It was Wesley.

Yuliana sat up on the bed and asked, “When did you come?”

“I’ve come for a while. How is it? Are you feeling better?” Wesley got up and put a pillow behind Yuliana’s

back.

Yuliana said, “I don’t feel anything, but the doctor insists on hospitalizing me. I think it’s completely unnecessary.”

Wesley hummed lightly in response.

After what had happened the day before yesterday, there was, somehow, a gap between them.

Yuliana knew very well that she had no right to request Wesley for anything. Nevertheless, she could not help but feel a little disappointed.

At that moment, the ward was quiet. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Are you still unhappy about what happened that day?” Wesley asked.

Yuliana smiled and looked at Wesley. “It’s too hypocritical to say no at all. Wesley, I treat you as a friend. Yet, I also understand that this is your job. You have your stance.”

“But I don’t want to be friends with you.” Wesley’s eyes darkened as he looked at Yuliana. “I just want to be your man.”

Yuliana panicked as she looked into Wesley’s eyes. Feeling uneasy, she retracted her gaze.

Smiling, Wesley said, “Let’s make a deal, Yuliana. As long as you promise to date me, I can tell you anything you wish to know.”

Yuliana was momentarily stunned. Then, she looked at him again.

Wesley looked immensely serious.

Yuliana felt an unfathomable emotion as she looked into his eyes.

After pursing her lips, Yuliana voiced, “I don’t have many friends, Wesley. You know that, don’t you? I don’t want to eventually lose a friend like you.”

“Don’t be friends, then.” Wesley suddenly stood up and propped both hands against the bed, one at a side, cornering Yuliana.

Yuliana panicked as he got closer to her all of a sudden. She leaned back on reflex.

Wesley took that opportunity to support Yuliana’s back. “Yuliana, we are not some innocent teenagers. You didn’t resist the kiss the other day. Thus, you’re willing to accept me. Yuliana, give us a chance.” Yuliana was startled by his actions. She felt that Wesley seemed to be acting a little unusual that day.

As she looked at him in confusion, she asked, “Wesley… What’s wrong with you?”

Instantly, Wesley cooled down, and his overly-excited expression faded. Then, he slowly withdrew his hand and straightened his back. “I’m fine. I’m heading out for a smoke.”

In confusion, Yuliana watched Wesley walk out of the ward.

After a while, she got up and exited the ward.

Yuliana saw Wesley standing in the smoking area. The latter puffed on the cigarette as he faced the white wall

With that, Yuliana entered the smoking area.

“Wesley.”

Wesley looked toward her when he heard that. He quickly had two puffs at the cigarette before putting it out. “Why are you here?”

Yuliana did not reply but gazed at him for a long time. “Do you truly like me?” she questioned.

Wesley was momentarily stunned. “Yes, very much.”

Yuliana smiled with mixed feelings. “Many people have confessed their love for me since high school. I don’t like them, so I’ve never taken them seriously. However, I’d given my heart to two people. You should know that one was my ex-husband, Harry, and the other was Christopher. I’ve used up my energy in the two relationships.”

Yuliana added, “Honestly, I’ve never thought about getting married again after divorcing Christopher. I didn’t even think about getting into a new relationship.”

Later, Yuliana was even uninterested in it after Damian died in prison.
