Chapter 746 Adorable Contrast
It was, it was sufficient. However, she was not prepared for it! Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Huston” Evelyn’s breathing became a little disordered, and her eyes wandered between the wall and him, “I’m just having a high fever, not an incurable disease. You don’t have to…”
“It has nothing to do with your illness.”
“But…”
“No buts.” Huston’s face turned red. Although his tone was a little harsh, his eyes were nervous. For the first time, he felt that it was so fucking difficult to say a word. After a long time of mental preparation, he asked, “Just tell me if you want to be with me or not.”
Although she was in a daze, she was not stupid. After a few seconds, she shook her head and said, “No.”
The room was empty, and the air seemed to be frozen into ice.
After Evelyn finished speaking, she realized that her rejection. might have been too abrupt. She mustered the courage to glance at Huston’s expression, and true to her expectations, his face had turned dark.
She still had some understanding of Huston’s personality. Making him confess his feelings was like holding a knife to his throat. It was not easy for him to take the initiative to confess.
Just as she was thinking about how to handle the situation, Huston suddenly stood up. Evelyn felt a sharp gust of wind pass by her, and the next moment, the lights in the room went off with a ‘click’.
Everything returned to darkness, and only a faint light came in through the window.
The night wind blew in, taking away a lot of embarrassment and depression.
Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief. This was better, at least they couldn’t see each other’s faces, and it wouldn’t feel as awkward. The current state of their relationship made it strange to talk about these things.
After turning off the lights, Huston went straight into the private bathroom of the hospital room. The sound of running water could be heard, and when he came out, there was a towel on his head, barely visible in the darkness.
He should go wash up.
It was time to rest.
She looked at him lying on the single bed with his back to her, leaving only his dark back. But even so, she could imagine how pale he looked now.
For some reason, she found him a little cute.
After the confession failed, how many men would turn off the lights and sleep directly? He could be considered to be the only
(
one.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sorry for him. She plucked up her courage and called out his name softly, “Huston?”
The only response she received was coldness.
She pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter, “Are you asleep?”
Deep down, Evelyn was well aware that Huston probably couldn’t sleep now. With his pride, his heart must be full of resentment.
“I’m not asleep!”
Suddenly, the quiet hospital room echoed Huston’s rough and gruff response. The tone alone conveyed his unhappiness.
However, Evelyn wasn’t afraid at all. She found it amusing, but she didn’t dare to laugh out loud. Instead, she spoke with a clear voice, “Thank you for taking care of me today.”
Although there was an element of soothing in her words, it was undeniably her true sentiment.
No matter what, he had already made the biggest concession. Even if she hadn’t completely let go of the past in her heart, she was moved by his attitude and actions.
In life, nothing is owed to anyone. After drifting outside for five years, Evelyn understood this truth well.
“Anyway, you don’t intend to be with me. You don’t have to be
(
so polite.”
His words were very harsh, so Evelyn followed his words and said, “It makes sense.”
Huston was speechless. He thought, “What did she just say?” Her attitude was quite arrogant. She actually knew how to pretend to be weak to defeat the strong!
