You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Edie Was Touched

Edie paused, sucking in a deep breath. She swallowed the rest of her sentence and murmured, "Stuart..."

Stuart was startled when he heard Edie speak. He wasn’t expecting her to be awake. Stuart quickly walked over to the bed and pressed the nurse call button. He took Edie in his arms and looked her over carefully. Stuart’s eyes were full of worry, even his voice shook a little, "How are you feeling? Do you feel sick? Is there anything that hurts?"

Edie had just woken up and was a little shaken up by Stuart’s reactions. She felt a little lightheaded and said, "I. I’m fine..."

Before Edie could finish her sentence, she was being pulled into Stuart’s arms. She was surrounded by a scent of dominance, and it disrupted the rhythm of her breathing completely. Stuart didn’t say a word, and he just held her tightly as if she were going to disappear. Edie leaned against his chest and could hear his irregular heartbeat pounding.

"Stuart... is he scared?" Edie wondered. She couldn’t resist asking, "Stuart, what’s wrong?"

"Don’t talk, just let me hold you," Stuart said in a tone of relief. The more she spoke the tighter, he held her. Stuart breathed in every scent of Edie’s body. It was the first time he felt her embrace being so comforting. Every second of her unconsciousness, Stuart thought he was going to go out of his mind. The doctor repeatedly assured Stuart that there was nothing seriously wrong with Edie, but it still didn’t ease his mind.

Stuart couldn’t even work. He neglected his work, knowing he could be losing millions of dollars. Nothing mattered, only Edie. Stuart would do anything for her.

Shortly after, the doctor and nurse arrived. They looked at Edie and Stuart, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Stuart reluctantly released Edie. His expression returned to his normal coldness. He frigidly glanced at them and said, "Hurry up and check her over."

Being glanced at by Stuart, the doctor got goosebumps. He complained inside and quickly walked over to Edie. After examining her, the doctor couldn’t find anything seriously wrong with her.

Edie had recovered from temporary shock and heatstroke. However, since she was in a coma for twenty-four hours, she was told she had to stay in the hospital for two more days.

The doctor said Edie should have an intravenous sugar solution since she was a little dehydrated, and this would help with her recovery. The doctor left and came back with an IV bag and a needle. He first had to apply iodophor on Edie’s hand, which was a disinfectant. Just as the doctor was about to put it on, Stuart said in a cold voice, "If you hurt her, I want you to know there will be consequences."

The doctor was speechless and mumbled, "How can inserting a needle not hurt?"

However, he dared not to rebut. Stuart was the CEO of the L.N. Group, and he even had stocks in the hospital. Stuart had the power to fire him at any time if he wanted. After deep consideration, the doctor’s hand started to shake.

Stuart winced and said, "How can you insert a needle with your hand shaking like that? Are all the doctors in this hospital as useless as you?"

Edie could see the doctor’s nervousness and said, "Doctor, don’t listen to him, take your time. It will be okay."

"I... I...," Due to the pressure he was under, the doctor stuttered for some time.

Edie smiled gently and said, "Don’t worry, just do it. Really, it will be fine."

The doctor clenched his teeth, held onto the back of Edie’s hand, and inserted the needle. The needle missed the vein. Stuart was about to speak. Fortunately, Edie responded quickly and stopped Stuart by grabbing his hand.

Feeling her soft touch, Stuart calmed down. Stuart was going to criticize, and it was clearly known by the doctor, but Stuart didn’t need to say a word. Just one look at the doctor, and it sent a chill through his whole body. free𝑤ebnovel.com

A layer of cold sweat appeared on the doctor’s forehead. He didn’t dare to wipe it away. After twenty years of being a doctor, this was the first time he felt so much stress. However, he still had to insert the needle. This time, the doctor calmed his mind and started again. The needle was finally inserted into the vein.

Seeing the look of relief on the doctor’s face, Edie was sure that if Stuart weren’t there, the doctor would have jumped up and down with excitement. After finishing, the doctor told them he had a few matters that needed his attention and left with the nurse. Mr. Bates, who was also in the room, left as well. freёweɓnovel.com

Now there was only Edie, and Stuart left in the room. The silence in the room was absolute. The atmosphere was intense as Edie and Stuart had a big fight before Aaron took her. Edie hesitated for a while, then rubbed her stomach and said awkwardly, "Stuart, I..., I’m hungry."

Hearing her words, Stuart immediately walked to the corner of the room and took out a lunch box, "This is my porridge from this morning. It’s still hot, would you like some?"

Edie was a little puzzled, "When did you make this?"

"I made it today, and yesterday as well, I didn’t know when you were going to wake up, so I made it every day because I knew you would be hungry when you woke up," Stuart said proudly.

Warmth flowed inside Edie’s heart instantly. She thought about what Mr. Bates told her and felt like crying. Since Edie had an IV in her hand, Stuart helped her set up the table.

While he bustled about, Edie discovered, his left palm was wrapped in gauze, and there was a tinge of blood seeping through it. She was a little alarmed, she held his hand without using too much strength and asked, "What happened to your hand? Did you get hurt?"

That was the wound he got when he grasped the blade that Aaron tried to stab him with. Stuart didn’t want to worry her, he pulled his hand away and said casually, "I accidentally cut myself, it’s nothing." Then with the sound of excitement in his voice, he said, "Here’s some porridge and juice. When you’re finished and if you’re still hungry, I can make you something else."

"You made this all by yourself?" Edie said with a surprised look on her face. Stuart did so much for her when she was unconscious. Edie was touched.

Stuart nodded and said, "I made them myself just in case you don’t like the food in the hospital. Try it and tell me what you think?"
