However, her words didn’t deter him from chatting away. “Are you touched by my actions? How are you going to thank me seeing that I’ve saved you once again?”
Rolling her eyes at him, Selena said, “I’ll f*cking marry you, so you should shut up already! Get some rest!” It was exasperating to see how chatty he was despite having been operated on due to a stab wound on his stomach that made him bleed profusely.
“Do you think marrying me will be enough to free you of both of your debts?” Pierre snorted. “You need to come up with something else. There must be some other way that you can express your gratitude.”
After heaving a long sigh, Selena asked, “What do you suggest then?” After all, he was the one lying in bed after taking a stab in her place, so he did get the right to boss her around.
“I’ll have to think about it. You will have to fulfill my request when I do make it.”
“If that’s the case, you should take your time. I will fulfill whatever that I can fulfill, so all I ask of you now is to stop talking.”
“Worry not; you will be able to fulfill it.”
Somehow, she noticed that his gaze seemed more serious compared to before, as if he was hiding a secret. However, she didn’t ask, considering that he shouldn’t be speaking, and soon, she had forgotten about it.
Meanwhile, Selena had been thinking of informing his family about this, but Pierre insisted otherwise. He figured that the Fowlers wouldn’t notice anything if they kept quiet, as it was normal for him to disappear for a month or two without notice. Therefore, nobody would come find him anyway.
Selena relented for selfish reasons. As the incident happened because of her, she supposed that it wouldn’t be good for her if the Fowlers knew what happened, seeing that they already had a skewed opinion of her.
“Go ask the nurse how many more IV drips I have to go through. It’s already ticking me off,” he said indignantly.
“Okay.” Selena left after that.
