"Sergio, do you feel any better? Let's eat first," Jenna said to Sergio as she filled the bowl with food.
"Okay, thank you." Sergio stood up and came to the dining room. The sight of the steaming aroma of the food and the attentive woman made him feel warmth.
He could only dream of this.
However, it was a reality that day. Sergio's heart was filled with emotions, and he was extremely excited.
"Jenna." He stepped forward, took Jenna's hand, and looked at her affectionately.
Jenna looked up at him and when she saw the light in his eyes. She hurriedly withdrew her hand.
"Eat while it's hot. You don't want it to turn cold." Jenna lowered her head and said, "Drink some hot soup first. This soup is good for your health."
She hurriedly sat down on the other side of the table and placed a bowl of soup in front of him.
Then, she lowered her head and started eating.
She decided to leave after the meal.
Right then, the news of her injury must have been spread all over the city. Hansen, the in-laws, and her mother would definitely be anxious.
Sergio seemed to understand her embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've already informed Aunt Sara that you're safe."
"Oh." Jenna was stunned for a moment and quickly understood. When Jenna was cooking, he must have just called Sara and told her that Jenna was safe. Upon realizing that, she immediately nodded.
He slowly drank the soup. He then praised Jenna's cooking skills and enjoyed the meal at the same time. He talked and laughed naturally, hiding the desire he had just shown her very well.
He knew that he could not be too hasty. Otherwise, he would scare that little woman away, and if that happened, everything would be lost.
He spoke to her calmly, and his resolute attitude dispelled Jenna's worries and unease. After that, the two of them began to eat calmly.
That meal didn't last long as Jenna was not in the mood at all.
After the meal, Sergio stood up.
"Ouch!" He cried out in pain, which startled Jenna. She looked at him and found that when he stood up, he accidentally touched the back of the chair, which made him cry out in pain although he was trying to act manly.
"Don't move. I'll help you." Jenna was shocked to see his face turn pale. The wound on his arm was deep and terrifying, and she had seen it with her own eyes.
She approached him and carefully helped him to the bedroom.
"Rest early today. You have to be careful, so that your wound won't get inflamed," she softly told him, as she helped him into the master bedroom, and put him on the bed.
"Jenna." Just as she turned around and was about to leave, Sergio reached out his uninjured hand and grabbed her. "Please, stay with me for the whole night. Don't worry, I won't do anything."
His pupils were pitch- black with a hint of anticipation. The reason he wanted to be discharged from the hospital in advance was because he didn't want the media to capture them together. He knew her identity, and it was not right for them to be seen together. Therefore, he left the hospital in advance regardless of his injury, but he hoped that she would keep him company, even if it took a little longer.
He was afraid of staying in such a quiet and empty house alone.
"I..." Jenna was in a dilemma. Initially, she was ready to leave after cleaning the bowls and utensils. After all, she had been out for an entire afternoon. Furthermore, what happened that day would definitely make her family very anxious, yet at that time, she couldn't bring herself to refuse Sergio's request.
At that time, Sergio was alone. He was seriously injured and could not lift an arm at all. He had to change the dressing of the wound that night. If she left, what about him?
Besides, what if his wound got inflamed that night? On top of that, he got hurt. If she left, she would feel terrible if something bad happened to him.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Look at my injury. I can't do anything to you, can I?" Sergio continued to try to calm her down. Jenna could still hear him gasping as he spoke. So, it was obvious that the wound was still full of pain.
"Alright." Jenna finally nodded in agreement. "Go to bed first. I'll clean up the bowls and utensils."
"Okay, thank you, Jenna." Sergio was full of joy as he watched Jenna got busy with other work.
It was a great surprise for him that she was willing to stay with him.
The night grew darker and darker.
In the living room of the villa, Jenna was sitting uneasily.
In the year after getting married, apart from returning to her own family home to stay for a few days, she had almost never been away from the Richards family, Jerry, or Hansen.
Nevertheless, that day, she had to spend the night outside because she owed Sergio a favor.
In fact, in the depths of her heart, she was even more reluctant to go back to see Liya. The day before, Liya had already gone to Richards Manor to meet Trevor and Marissa. Therefore, Jenna wasn't sure if Hanson would bring her home again, and she didn't want to see that woman sitting on the couch when she goes downstairs as that would only make her sad.
Since Liya's and Hansen's marriage was already in the newspapers, it wouldn't be surprising if she followed Hansen back to Richards Manor.
Plus, that day, the murder attempt had made her heart turn extremely cold.
What happened the morning before flashed through her mind. She thought of Hansen and Liya leaving together. Then, Jenna felt her body turn numb from sitting for too long. So, she moved her body a little, but she still couldn't get rid of the stinging pain in her heart.
After sitting like that for a while, she walked towards Sergio's bedroom.
She had to follow the doctor's instructions.
Before going to sleep, Sergio's wound needed to be redressed. Also, Sergio just got injured that day. So, she dared not to be careless.
Sergio was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and soon opened his eyes when he heard Jenna enter.
