Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 194

At that moment, it felt like the air in the whole ward had frozen.

She was just being all sassy and provocative, knowing full well that he was not the kind of guy to make such a move on her. On the other hand, he was just trying to stop her childish act, but no one saw it coming, a simple action would escalate to this level.

Excited, her breath became rapid, and Kieran's gaze involuntarily landed on her chest. At that moment, he held his breath.

The sun outside the window was bright and warming, but on their faces, it was like hot coals, making them blush. It was only when a small bird landed on the window sill and knocked the curtain open, did he snap out of it and quickly withdrew his hand.

Then, pretending to be calm, he pulled out his phone and called the doctor again, "The center of the patient's wound is greenish-yellow, the middle is reddish-purple, the surrounding area is dark purple, the color contrast is not high, and there are no obvious signs of bleeding."

Julie suddenly came to her senses, hiding her entire body under the blanket, leaving only her eyes peeking at his back, feeling a layer of sweat on her forehead.

Julie didn't know what the doctor on the phone was saying, she just saw Kieran talking and walking out of the ward.

It took Julie about five or six minutes to realize that Kieran had left.

She then zoned out for another ten or so minutes before Bertha pushed open the door of the ward with some bruise healing meds in her hand and said, "Your team member asked me to bring you these. Are you okay?"

"Was it Kieran who sent you?" Julie looked at Bertha expectantly.

But Bertha shook her head, "Seems like it was Peanut."

Peyton, Julie got it.

From that day on, she resigned from her position in the school basketball team. In her school, junior high was straight to high school. She had been the manager of the school basketball team since junior high, but due to this incident, her basketball career came to an end.

After her resignation, Peyton seemed to feel guilty. But after Peyton graduated from high school, he went abroad for college and probably had forgotten about Julie.

Looking at Kieran, Julie said nostalgically, "Back then, you took advantage but ran away, and in the end, it was Peyton who brought me the medicine. Now thinking back, you were quite shameless back then!"

"Peyton brought you medicine?" Kieran frowned and let go of Julie's hand.

After bandaging her, he sat next to her, his obsidian-like eyes staring intently at Julie's face.

Julie nodded, replying, "Yes, bruise healing medicine, quite a variety."

"It seems all the credit goes to Peanut." He glanced at her and said, "I gave Peanut some bruise healing medicine to give to Bertha."

She turned her head in surprise, asking, "Why did you have to go through Peyton?"

"I didn't want you to misunderstand and make you feel awkward." He explained.

"So you were afraid I would misunderstand that you actually like me?" Julie suddenly smiled, "To prevent me from falling in love too early, you really put a lot of thought into it. But Kieran, being so arrogant, aren't you afraid of losing me?"

"I am."

His response surprised her, simple and sincere. She hadn't expected an answer when she asked the question.

They looked at each other for a while, and then Julie suddenly said seriously to the man, "Kieran, let's just live a good life!"

"Okay." He pulled her into his arms, smelling the scent of her long hair.

"I promised Ivan that I'd go on a picnic with him on his birthday."

"Okay."

"How about a barbecue?"

"Okay."

"Can you say anything other than okay?"

"Very good."

"Why don't you go sleep in the other room? Okay?" She looked up at him and asked with a smile.

The man looked down at her, and kissed her red lips, leaving her unable to speak.

He had planned to just give her a light kiss, but upon contact with her soft lips, his hormones exploded instantly, invading every cell of his body. It wasn't until her tiny fingers were tightly clasped with his, did he finally control his breathing.

Gently, he reluctantly let go of the woman in his arms, "Give you another two days of rest."

He tried hard to control himself, then kissed her forehead, "Goodnight, honey."

The man's back at this moment seemed a bit lonely, Julie suddenly blurted out, "Hang in there, hubby, you still have your hand."

The man turned around, his eyes shining a bit in the dark, "So you really don't want to sleep tonight?"

"Goodnight, Mr. Hernandez."

Julie quickly covered her head with the blanket, still able to hear the man's voice outside the blanket, "Don't sleep with your head under the blanket."
