Raine was so agitated that her body, which had not yet recovered, was even more fragile. She was so angry that she could not breathe.
The doctor came in, gave her IV fluids and some more instructions, and then left.
Mark's handsome face had been grim and calm since Summer left. He did not speak again after she left.
Lying in bed, Raine's eyes flickered over him. A glow o f joy rose in her heart. He signed the divorce papers!
But then she thought of her own face, and the glow in her look and eyes dimmed again.
She did not care about looks, but who would not care when a woman's face was ruined like that?
Mark got up from the couch and was striding his long legs out of the ward.
Raine, who was half-leaning on the bed, sat up and stared at the figure, and asked, "Where are you going? I ... Have nightmares..." Her voice was hoarse.
He turned around and his eyes fell gently on her. In a deep voice, he answered, "I'm going to have a cigarette. I'll be back soon..." "You can smoke right here, I don't mind." She shook
her head.
"But I mind. You lie down and rest. I'll be back soon..."
Mark laid her down on the bed, gently pulled the blanket over her with his big hands, and then turned and walked out of the room.
Baine seemed as though she was about to say something, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.
Outside the room, in the long corridor, the tall, muscular figure reclined against the window, a cigarette between his slender fingers, the intense sarcasm and cold in his eyes swirling like smoke.
His thin lips curled up coldly as he thought of the woman, as cold as ice.
There was no need for a woman like that to cross his mind again!
