Jake's mind was too befuddled for him to ponder about the meaning behind her words. After stating his request, he clutched Megan's hands tightly before closing his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
A still squatting Megan grimaced when she saw how easily he fell asleep. There was a hint of exasperation in her face that was contorted in anger.
By now, she had realized how willful and whiny Jake was when he was ill. Alas, she was a sucker for that. Seeing how weak he was, she couldn't bring herself to yell at him even though it was unbearable.
As she couldn't leave, she sat down calmly and started scrolling on her phone by his side.
After some time, the sky gradually turned dark outside. Occasional footsteps sounded outside the office, so Megan glanced at her watch and realized it was time for the employees at Sky Entertainment to get off work.
She pocketed her phone. Her hand that was gripped by Jake was numb by now. Megan glanced at the sleeping man, who looked like an innocent angel, his long lashes casting a shadow underneath his eyes.
Looks like he won't wake up for now. Megan pouted unhappily and began poking his cheek, bored out of her mind. She scanned his sculpted features and mused silently, He's perfect. God must've favored him a lot to allow him to be born in this world.Unlike me, who was abandoned by God in my past life.
Megan was lost in her thoughts and didn't even realize the man had already woken up.
“What are you thinking about?”
Jake seemed a little worn out, but he was faring much better now.
