Chapter 25 Wait and See
When Amy heard that, she was stunned. Then, she laughed. “Okay, I will make it up to you. How do you want me to make it up to you?”
Wesley held her hand. Then, he pulled her up and let her sit on his lap.
At that moment, there were footsteps outside the office.
Amy stood up, pretending to tidy up her documents.
Wesley maintained his posture and sat calmly as if they hadn’t flirted with each other.
“Mr. Harrington, do you come to pick up Doctor Brooks?”
“Yes.”
“Doctor Brooks must be happy.”
The two female doctors looked envious. Amy glanced at Wesley from the corner of her eye and found him unusually calm. She also calmed down.
“You will meet your Mr. Rights someday.”
Amy packed her belongings quickly and said goodbye to the female colleagues. Then, she left the office with Wesley.
After walking out of the office, Amy could still feel the envious
However, only she knew that Wesley treated her as his task.
He tried to fulfill the responsibilities of a boyfriend. He could flirt with her and show up whenever she needed him.
He could even see her through, so he catered to her and made her feel that he understood her and loved her.
However, in his eyes, there was no trace of love.
In front of Amy, Wesley was calm and rational. He was like a superior who occupied a high position and controlled everything, or a god living above the clouds.
He exuded a dazzling light in the sky. Amy couldn’t help but want to get close to him and pull him down from the clouds to make him affectionate and see nothing but her.
However, Amy didn’t know Wesley was not a god in the clouds who watched and considered all living beings no matter how dazzling he was.
He was poppy. No matter how dazzling or charming he was, those who took the initiative to approach him would end miserably.
After Amy and Wesley got into the car, Amy turned to look at Wesley, who focused on driving. His side face was perfect. It was flawless no matter from which angle. Amy couldn’t help but be fascinated with him.
Amy tried to calm down. She stretched out and placed her hand on his arm. “Wesley, how about going to my home tonight? I’ll cook dinner to make up for keeping you waiting.”
The car was at a steady and even speed. Wesley kept staring at the front and didn’t even look at Amy. “No, there is a party tonight. Save that for next time.”
Looking at his indifferent face, Amy wanted to say something but closed her mouth silently.
When Wesley was in the office, he was not so indifferent.
Amy knew being indifferent was Wesley’s normal state.
Along the way, neither of them spoke again.
While waiting for the traffic lights, Wesley suddenly asked, “Where are you going?”
Amy was preoccupied. She looked at him and said casually, “Go back to my home.”
Wesley said nothing more and sent Amy home.
She invited Wesley to go in, but he insisted on leaving. Amy wanted to ask him which was more important, she or socialization.
However, she was no longer a teenage girl and was not qualified to be petty. Besides, she knew the answer to the question.
Why did she bother to humiliate herself?
Amy watched Wesley leave, and the black car disappeared without stopping.
Layla stayed in the hospital for two days. Her phone was taken
In the evening, Zachary brought her food as usual.
Layla looked at him without saying a word. He put the small
table in front of her. Then, he took out the food and opened the
lid.
Zachary was doing something thoughtfully, but there was no
smile on his face.
“Have it while it is warm.”
Layla came to her senses and looked away from his face. Just as she was about to have the meal with her spoon, she subconsciously glanced at Emily on the next bed.
Zachary said, “I bought only one serve. If you don’t want to have it, I’ll give it to the dogs. And I won’t bring you any food again.”
Layla opened her mouth. Seeing Zachary’s angry eyes, she could only lower her head and had the meal in silence.
Emily also heard Zachary’s words. Didn’t she just eat two mouthfuls of his food?
She only had something brought by him. How could he compare her to a dog?
Emily burrowed into her heap of covers and covered her head.
From the corner of her eyes, Layla saw Emily’s behavior. The atmosphere became embarrassing. Layla felt that the food in front of her was tasteless.
She ate a few mouthfuls and suddenly looked at Zachary.
can you give me my phone?”
“What do you want your phone for?” Zachary looked at her
coldly. Their relationship had thawed a little but turned terrible again.
Layla hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong. I just don’t want to miss any important messages from my work.”
“I’ve asked for leave for you. No matter how important the message is, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you still worrying about your work?”
“I…”
“Layla, listen carefully. Stay in the hospital for the next ten days. If you dare to leave the hospital, I promise you will regret it.”
Layla’s heart skipped a beat. When she looked up suddenly, she saw the cruelty in Zachary’s eyes. She felt a touch of panic.
“Zachary, you…” She took a deep breath and finally chose to compromise. “I won’t go out.”
Zachary stared at Layla gloomily. After ensuring she would not leave without his approval, he turned around and limped out.
After Zachary left, Emily couldn’t help but say, “Layla, why did your brother behave like that? Does he always talk to you that way? He cared about you that day.”
Layla compressed her lips and shook her head. She didn’t want to talk about Zachary’s rebellion with others.
