You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Routine Examination

Stuart asked the secretary to bring the documents and then began to read them quietly while sitting on the sofa in Edie’s room. He was starting to feel a little agitated as he was reading; he looked at her while she was sleeping and could see her delicate face.

He had seen many women, but no one ever made him feel the way she did. When she smiled, her eyes sparkled. When she cried, her nose would turn red. When she was drunk, she was as cute and sneaky as a cat. Now, her face was pale, and she was sleeping quietly, and she was still absolutely beautiful.

No matter what emotions he was feeling, she could easily influence his mood. He broke many rules for her and would do it again. Was he crazy? The worst part was that he did not reject it, but he enjoyed this kind of feeling. It was almost like he was addicted to it.

Stuart suddenly moved his long legs, walked to the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her white cheeks. Feeling the heat of her skin, and his heart flashed with a touch of pity. Edie’s eyelashes slightly flickered a few times, and her dazed eyes slowly opened.

"Stuart"

His voice was low, "Yes, I am here."

Edie blinked, and she saw his sweet and tender face looking at her. She could feel a slight pain in her hand. Then she realized she was in the hospital.

She asked in confusion, "Why am I here? Is this the hospital?"

"You had a fever and were in a coma, so I brought you to the hospital."

Hearing that, Edie nodded a little dazedly. Stuart asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Edie felt very strange. For many years she had been invulnerable and was as tough as iron and just because of a cold, she ends up in the hospital. So when Stuart asked her how she was feeling, her heart actually felt a broad sense of grievance. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Edie nodded, "Yes, my head is aching, and I have a sore throat."

The big eyes blinked with wetness in them. Stuart immediately got worried and said, "I can go get the doctor."

"No."

Edie suddenly took her hand out from under the blankets and gently grabbed Stuart’s hand. She put it on her head and said quietly, "Can you touch me? A touch can take my pain away. I remember when I was a little girl, and when I was sick, my mother always touched my head."

Edie had remembered the pleasant times from her past. She slightly raised her lips, and she smiled like an innocent child. Stuart was infected by her smile, and the cold temperament that surrounded him seemed to dissipate every time she touched him. Every nerve in his body was tense, and with one touch of her hand, all of his muscles relaxed. Stuart gently touched Edie’s head with his big hand.

His slender fingers passed through her beautiful smooth, and shiny hair. Stuart’s movements were very stiff from lack of experience, but his strength was very light like he was touching a rare treasure.

Edie could feel the gentle touch on the top of her head, and her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier with her thoughts drifting away. Then she fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, Edie whispered, "Stuart... Don’t leave."

Stuart’s eyes instantly became soft, and he promised in a soft whisper, "Okay, I won’t leave." Hearing his answer, Edie seemed to be relieved and fell asleep with a smile. Because of the recent overwork, her body needed to take advantage of this illness. She had fallen asleep and didn’t wake up until the next morning.

She opened her eyes and immediately saw that Stuart was sitting on the sofa reading documents. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Edie blinked her eyes, and before she had time to say anything, Stuart immediately noticed and looked up at her, saying, "You are awake."

"Yes."

Stuart put the documents aside and walked to the bed. He helped Edie to sit up and adjust the bed for her. Then he bent down, touched her forehead with the back of his hand, and said, "Thank goodness, it’s gone."

Edie was more alert today. She had totally forgotten what she had asked Stuart to do the night before. She felt very shy by his touch, and her face slightly turned away. She was trying to avoid looking into his eyes. Stuart noticed her movements, and his eyes flashed with light. But he did not say anything, he just asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Edie touched her belly subconsciously. She couldn’t remember the last time she had eaten. She was starving. Stuart had already known what her answer was; all he had to do was look at her, and almost every time, he instantly knew what she was thinking.

He started to come towards her with his face getting closer and closer. Seeing his face approaching hers, Edie immediately began to panic. She wanted to go backward, but her back was against the wall, and there was no room. She started stuttering, "Why, why are you getting so close...?"

He turned to look at her directly and flashed a quick smile. Stuart raised his hand and lightly touched her ear to press the call button on the lower wall, and suddenly, there was a "beep—" sound. The call button lit up, and there was a gentle female voice on the other end, "Hello, is there anything I can do for you?"

"The patient is awake, and she is starving."

"Okay, I will be right with you."

While Stuart was speaking, he still kept the same posture with his face almost next to Edie’s. He was admiring the blush on her face. He finished talking and stood up slowly. "I was getting some food for you. So what did you think I was going to do?"

Edie could feel Stuart’s breath. It was lingering around her face, and hearing his words, her face was getting redder. She thought he wanted to kiss her, and she was trying to avoid it.

So why did she feel so disappointed after finding out that he didn’t want to kiss her? The dining cart came very quickly, so Edie’s emotions finally dissipated. Young’s private hospital was the best hospital in the city. It had not only the best medical resources and equipment but also the best food supplies which were specially made for patients, respectively, by professional nutritionists.

The lobster in the seafood soup were all airlifted from Australia in the morning. Edie had been so hungry that in no time, she had her food half gone. Enjoying the expressions on her face, Stuart stopped reading his documents and was watching her quietly.

Edie could feel him watching her and was a little embarrassed to eat in front of him and said, "It’s really quiet here. Would you mind turning on the TV?" Stuart got up to turn on the TV and then handed the remote to Edie.

Edie didn’t really want to watch TV. But she could feel that the atmosphere between them was getting too awkward, her room was so quiet, and she very rarely watched TV. She had no intention of watching TV and casually switched the channels, but suddenly she saw a familiar face flashing across the screen and quickly put it back to that channel.

It was a gossip news program with a very high audience rating. What attracted her attention was on the screen of the TV was a photo of Zoe.
