Love Contract novel Chapter 298

There was a special pain in endless waiting; waiting with no end and without hope.

The sun and moon continued to dance with one another as day turned to night. Late autumn passed, and winter began as always. When December came, the first snow in A City fell, casting its white dust over everything.

Mary was bundled up in oversized clothing, then got out of the car. She placed a protective hand around her growing belly and made her way towards William's ward.

It had been two months, but William was still in a coma. Although his ventilator had been removed, and the doctors all said he was fine, William still refused to wake up.

"Madam, be careful."

Watts, the bodyguard employed by William, was in charge of keeping Mary safe. He followed her closely twenty-four hours a day and was always on the lookout for anything that might harm her.

"Don't worry about me. Thank you, Watts." Mary waved him off and smiled at him. "It's snowing today. The snowflakes are all so beautiful."

"Indeed," Watts replied and stood beside her respectfully.

"Watts, have you eaten yet?" Mary asked. "It's lunchtime. You can have lunch first if you're hungry. I'll go and see William. Nothing bad will happen."

"I'm not hungry."

"Ha ha..." Mary laughed and covered her mouth. "I knew you would say that. Every time I ask, you always give me the same answer," she teased, "You gave me the same answer yesterday but I heard your stomach growl."

Watts' face blushed immediately "Please don't tease me, madam. It's my duty to protect you. I'll always be here for you."

Mary raised her eyebrows at him and said, "I know. That's why I brought extra food with me today."

"Madam..." Watts was rendered speechless by her thoughtfulness.

"Are you touched?" Mary walked forward with a playful smile on her face.

"Mary? Are you teasing Watts again?" Lucas came over to them with a friendly smile, wearing his white gown. "Watts' face is so red that I thought he was bleeding."

"He's too shy for his own good," Mary replied. She turned to Watts and asked, "I didn't tease you too much, did I?" "No, madam, you didn't," Watts murmured, lowering his head.

Lucas couldn't help but giggle at them. He then glanced at Mary's belly and said, "The weather isn't good. Why did you come to the hospital today?"

"I come here every day, don't I?" Mary smiled softly and placed a hand on her belly. "Maybe I'll get lucky and William will wake up today."

"Maybe." Lucas nodded with a sympathetic look on his face. "You'd better get inside quickly. I just have an operation in a bit."

"By the way, where's Jazlyn?" Mary asked.

"I'm not sure," Lucas said with a shrug. "She comes and goes as she pleases. She only visits me when she's in a good mood. I am not able to find her anyway."

"Why do I have a feeling that you're bitter about this?" Mary laughed.

"Humph! I'm happy that she's not bothering me! " Lucas raised his chin arrogantly.

"My sister told me that they were stationed in Syria and won't be back for six months," Mary said with a serious expression on her face.

"What? Really?" Lucas' eyes widened in disbelief. "Half a year? In Syria? Why are they staying there for that long? Does she want to die?" Mary chuckled at his reaction. She quietly covered her mouth and ran away from him.

On her way to the patient area, Mary greeted all the doctors and nurses she passed by. She had gotten to know them these last few months.

"Dr. Xu, are you going for lunch?"

"Yes, Mary. You are here again!"

"Mary, it's snowing today, you should be careful!

"I will. Don't worry!"

Mary smiled and turned to Watts. "Did you see the nurse that passed by just now? I noticed she's been sneaking looks at you from time to time. I think she has a crush on you. What do you think? Would you be interested in her? Is she your type?"

Watts was appalled. "It's my duty to protect you, madam. I'm not concerned with matters like that for the time being."

"Stop making excuses. I know that you're quite shy." Mary teased him on purpose.

In the past two months they spent together, Watts had grown used to Mary's tricks. He was still flustered by her teasing, but he was no longer surprised by it.

The two made their way to William's ward and chatted the whole way there. The caregiver saw Mary enter and quickly hurried out.

She made her way to William's bedside and quietly held his hand. Her eyes were filled with melancholy and she had a bitter smile on her face.

Watts walked out of the ward with the food Mary prepared for him. Before closing the door, he took a look at her and sighed to himself. 'Young master, when do you plan on waking up? Your wife has been waiting for a long time...' he thought silently to himself.

In the ward. "William, my belly has grown so big. Why don't you wake up and have a look at it?" Mary placed his hand on her belly and asked, "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?

I come to see you every day, but you don't even look at me... You're too cruel!"

Mary continued, "Every time I go for my prenatal checkups and see the parents there together, I get upset with you. William, if you don't wake up, I'll have to find another father for my child. Barry won't do, though. He and Selah look good together." Mary smacked her lips and thought of what else to tell him. "Last time, Selah was shooting a romantic bed scene with some actor, and Barry saw it. Ever since then, he told her not to do scenes like that anymore. She can't even do kissing scenes! What a selfish man... Wait, didn't I tell you this yesterday? I can't even keep track of the days anymore..."

She chuckled to herself. She didn't expect any response but she continued to talk anyway. Opening the food box, she said, "This is the food Aunt Amy prepared for me. I... Ugh..."

A sudden wave of nausea overcame Mary. She jumped from her seat and rushed to the bathroom, covering her mouth as she ran.

"Ugh..."
