He did not how traumatized Hannah was when she finished the whole jar of chicken soup. Thus, she ended up hating it. That was why she could not resist grumbling about it.
A jerk? That's how you think of me all this while!
How sad! I have stood up for you and put so much effort into taking vengeance on behalf of you. Yet it means nothing to you? Looks like I'm just wasting my effort and precious time!
He let out a sigh in disappointment and got up again.
When he was about to step out of the ward, Hannah yelled again, "Fabian, don't go! Don't leave me alone here. I'm really scared!"
Fabian turned to look at Hannah again. Shaking his head, he walked toward her bed and mumbled,
"You're the one who begged me not to leave. I hope you don't forget about this tomorrow and blame me for that."
Without hesitation, he took off his clothes and lay next to Hannah in the bed.
He leaned closer to Hannah and whispered next to her ear, "This is the first time you've requested me to stay the night with you."
Hannah's shoulder shuddered instinctively as she sensed his hot breath against her sensitive ear. Grumbling impulsively, she turned to face Fabian and continued to sleep soundly.
Gazing lovingly at Hannah, Fabian found that she looked exceptionally charming when she was sleeping. It was as if she was Sleeping Beauty, who happened to be shrouded by a mysterious veil of soft glow. Stretching out his hand, his long fingers stroked her delicate cheeks gently as he whispered casually, "I just realize that you have the most flawless and smooth skin."
As he continued to gaze at her silently, he was gradually overcome by a sense of sleepiness and had drifted off to sleep.
Both of them ended up spending a peaceful night on the same bed in the ward.
The next morning, Hannah came to her senses when the warm sun shone onto her through the window of the ward. Stretching her body instinctively, she was startled to find that she was unable to lift her left arm. She turned and was stupefied to see a man's naked chest pressed against it. Pulling her arm away at once, she jumped down the bed and yelled, "Help! A pervert! There's a pervert in my room!"
She covered Fabian's head with the blanket and bashed him hard with the pillow.
