Hendrix still needed an IV drip after bandaging his wounds, so he fell into deep sleep under the effect of the medication.
I sat on the side of the bed, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. It seemed that the scar would last for a lifetime.
I didn't let Anne come to the hospital after finding her. Instead, I asked Aaron to take her back to Jarold City.
Originally, I had planned to transfer Hendrix to a hospital in Jarold City. However, considering that the long journey might cause his wound to open up again, I decided to wait for him to recover first.
Pedro and Valerie would come to visit us almost every day. Although it was not completely peaceful, it was still harmonious.
Valerie put the food on the table. Seeing that I was in a bad mood, she said, "Why don't you go back to the hotel and have a good rest? Come back after you have a good sleep. I'll stay here with Pedro tonight."
There was a slight hesitation in her voice. I shook my head and said, "I'm fine. I can sleep here tonight. You two must have a lot of things to deal with in Jarold City. I think you'd better go back early."
Valerie immediately shook her head and said, "Don't worry. I'm old already, and I've left the company's matters in Sawyer's hands. There's no hurry for me to go back."
I didn't continue to argue with her. It was true that I really had not slept well the previous night. It was noon at the moment, and I was starting to feel a little sleepy.
Furthermore, I had just finished eating. Hendrix was still in deep sleep, and Valerie and Pedro were sitting quietly by one side.
Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, but I dozed off without realizing.
Due to the fact that I didn't sleep well the night before, I fell into a deep slumber. A nurse came in to change Hendrix's dressing in the middle of my sleep. I opened my eyes slightly when I felt someone enter. However, I fell into a deep slumber again because I was too tired.
I only woke up in the afternoon and saw that Hendrix was reading a book. Pedro was not present, and Valerie was dozing off in a corner of the room.
Seeing that I had woken up, Hendrix put down the things in his hands, pulled a tissue and handed it
to me.
I was a little stunned and didn't understand what he meant. He smiled lightly and said in a gentle voice, "This is for you to wipe your drool!"
I...
I took the tissue from his hand and wiped my mouth. Then I pursed my lips, sat up straight and asked, "Is it already afternoon?"
He nodded and asked, "Are you hungry?"
