SWNOVELS Chapter 20 The Truth
When she woke up, Ceres found that her breath was full of disinfectant. She felt that she had no strength all over her body and her head was still groggy. When she turned her head, she saw the masked man sitting by the bed. He was wearing sunglasses and a mask as if he had gone shopping.
"Where am I?"
"We're at the hospital." The masked man replied softly, "You had a fever, and Uncle Jack sent me to stay here."
The masked man still has not finished his words, "To take care of you".
"Oh..." Ceres was too lazy to move, and she felt uncomfortable all over. She just turned her face and immediately turned back. "What about Johny? Is there someone taking care of him?" "Yes." The masked man replied.
"No, you'd better go back, those servants do not do well and they might abuse him. His injuries have just healed."
Ceres struggled to sit up, so the masked man had to give her a hand.
"Do you care about him?"
It's the masked man's first time to see someone cared about Johny so much. She even had a fever of nearly 40 degrees and still thinking about him.
"He is very poor as a vegetable. You have to go back quickly. I don't trust the servant."
"Do not worry, I arranged someone else."
Ceres was relieved.
In the afternoon, Ceres's fever finally subsided. Although the person still had no strength, her mental state was finally better. Because she slept for too long, Ceres did not want to sleep anymore. She yawned and picked up the water next to her and took a sip.
Ceres was just about to talk when she found the masked man on the sofa next to her was asleep. Ceres's eyes rolled, then she crept out of the bed. She and the masked man usually met at night. The masked man wore a mask even at night, and he wore sunglasses and masks during the day. She was really curious about what this man looked like. So, she quietly came to the masked man.
A hand gently leaned past. Just as she was about to take off the glasses of the masked man, suddenly a powerful hand grabbed her wrist. He locked her arm behind her, and the masked man turned over and pressed her under him.
"It's broken, it's broken, and it hurts!" Ceres shouted.
The masked man let her go. "What are you doing, sneaking out of me like that?"
Ceres rubbed her arm with a grievance. "I am curious about what you look like. What is the matter with you?"
"Do not touch me when I'm sleeping in the future. Be careful not to hurt yourself." The masked man's voice was still cold and faint.
"Cut the crap!" Ceres rubbed her arm and returned to her bed.
She did not see his face, and she hurt herself.
The masked man squinted at her and walked to the bed. "Are you so curious?"
Ceres raised her eyes and glanced at him. "I am not curious at all! Anyway, you are not as handsome as Johny! Why do I have to see your face?"
"Do you think Johny is handsome?" The masked man asked.
"Of course, Johny is the most handsome man I have ever seen. Although he has been closing his eyes, I can see that he is undoubtedly a beautiful man, the best beautiful man! So, I am not curious about you at all!"
The masked man snorted coldly. "Since you are not curious at all, forget it, and I still want to show you, my looks."
Ceres immediately grabbed the masked man's arm and nodded her head hard. "Curious! I'm especially curious!"‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
