Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 240

Jenna stood there and stared blankly as Hansen turned his back away from her without saying a word. Somehow, his figure looked lonely.

As Jenna pressed her lips together, the sensation of his lips still lingered on hers.

This was the first time he has acted so cold to her since their last encounter in Los Angeles. She tried to walk away but she just couldn't.

Her chest tightened; it was undeniable that she still loved him. When she watched how hurt he was that day, her heart shattered into a thousand pieces

As she caressed her belly, she turned around and walked out.

Hansen, who was still lying down on the bed, only began to get up when Jenna's footsteps were barely audible. His bottom was aching but it was incomparable to the ache in his heart.

She resolutely left him without even looking back.

At that moment, he felt totally abandoned. All he needed was her love, not pity. He wanted her whole heart.

He was already furious two days ago because of her interaction with Rayan. She really broke his heart when she still wanted to go out with Rayan.

She probably didn't love him; even if she did, she didn't love him enough. When a woman loved a man, could she be so distant and cold? Could she possibly cheat on him? This could only mean that her heart didn't belong to him alone. This was not what he wanted at all.

She would not forgive him for the mistakes he made. No matter how he begged or explained, she just wouldn't give way. There was only one explanation: her heart did not belong to him.

He pulled the blanket up to his chest. Lying on his stomach, he took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Eventually, he dozed off after an unknown period of time.

Jenna took a cab back to Collier Manor to pack some of Hansen's daily necessities in a shopping bag. She then proceeded to buy some groceries and make some fish soup. It was already dark when the soup was done.

It was raining the whole day with the cold breeze gently blowing.

Staring out the window, she glanced at the outside world, feeling depressed for some reason.

Her hand went on to caress her belly.

A pricking pain pierced her heart like a sharp needle.

It was her twenty-sixth birthday. At this age, she was no longer a little girl. The child in her belly made her more aware of her future responsibilities and the upcoming burdens of life.

Could she do this alone? Would she have the courage?

She really didn't know. But one thing for sure, her life was miserable.

The only man who wanted to celebrate her birthday with her had already been chased away by Hansen.

That day was her birthday.

It was written in the stars that her birthday would be crappy.

A bleak, wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She then transferred the soup into a thermal container.

Hansen was a very sensitive and picky person. He will not use anything that he wasn't used to. He came from a loaded family, hence his picky attitude.

Jenna thought about this as she went downstairs.

Leaving him in the hospital alone must've made him upset. Jenna was sure that if she didn't bring him something, he would definitely strike a protest by not eating or drinking.

She picked up the bag and took a taxi to the hospital.

He said that she should take care of him as how he did to her previously. Therefore, she would return this favor by taking care of him these few days.

She didn't want to owe him.

There was pin-drop silence in the hospital.

When she arrived at the eighth floor, Hansen's ward was pitch-black.

She was surprised. Has Hansen asked to be discharged from the hospital out of anger?

This cannot be good, she thought. He would still need to change his bandages. It was really not a great idea to be discharged this way.

While thinking of this, she pushed open the glass door.

She then switched on the wall lights.

However, the scene in front of her made her heart tremble.

Hansen was lying face- down on the bed sleeping. She saw cigarette butts in the ashtray beside him. The strong smell of smoke in the room immediately made Jenna cough softly.

On such a cold day, he didn't wrap himself warm in his blanket. The heater was not turned on either. He could easily catch a cold like this.

Jenna sighed and gently stepped forward to air out the room. After the smell of smoke subsided, she shut the window back, then turned on the heater and adjusted the temperature back to normal.

He never took care of himself. Jenna just couldn't imagine how it was like during the long hard years he worked in the business market. In the years of his downfall, she was not there for him and she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.

But, she shouldn't be blamed as well!

The young nurses were probably afraid of Hansen and didn't dare to disturb him.

She took a blanket from the closet and gently covered him with it.

His face laid sideways and he was sleeping so soundly.

Beneath the white light, Jenna stared at him in a daze.

In fact, he was very fair-skinned, even more than a woman's, and it was glowing. Such flawless skin did not affect his masculinity at all. His air of calmness and fortitude had once caught her heart.
