Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 813

In the evening, Elaine finally woke up.

Opening her eyes, she was met with a deep gaze.

It was Vincent.

Seeing that she had woken up, he smiled. "You're finally awake."

She looked around and asked, "Am I in the hospital?"

"Yeah."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"An entire day."

Whoa.

That was a long time.

Then she tried to sit up from the bed, only to find that she had no strength at all. "What happened to me?"

"You got a high fever, burning at 40 degrees."

It took her a moment to fully comprehend it.

She rarely got sick though. For so many years, she never even had a headache.

Suddenly, her stomach growled in the silence.

And it was followed by her face flushing.

Vincent was amused. "Are you hungry?" "Uh, no." She did not turn to look at him though.

"Well, I'm starving. Why don't we have some food together?" Then, he leaned against the chair, feeling that his mood somehow enlightened. "What would you like to eat? I'll get Mark to buy it."

She said nothing.

Seeing that, he took it as she was being shy.

He got his phone out and texted Mark, asking him to buy some food that was easy to digest.

On the other side of the line, Mark was surprised.

"Is she awake?"

"Yep."

"Cool, I'll be right there."

Putting away the phone, Vincent looked toward Elaine and stated, "Mark will be coming soon."

"Alright," Then, glancing at him, she noticed that he looked rather tired, and there were even dark circles under his eyes.

"You didn't... sleep all night?"

"Yeah, because you're still unconscious."

Hearing that, she was choked speechless.

Was he not going to sleep if she didn't wake up?

Why, though, did he have to tell her that? It made her feel apologetic.

She then looked away and fell into silence.

Staring at her face, Vincent suddenly said, "I've thought it through when you lay unconscious."

"Huh?"

"I've been worried about losing you for the whole night and my heart aches to see you suffering from a high fever. I've never felt this before."

Elaine was shocked.

What did he mean by that?

"So, I've decided."

All of a sudden, she shook her head. "No, no, no! I don't wanna listen to that!"

Nevertheless, Vincent just smiled and continued, "Whether you wanna listen or not, I've decided that... Elaine, from now on, I'll give you whatever you want, so don't think about leaving me again, understand?"

There was a hint of warning to his tone.

It was rare for him to have such deep interest in a woman, so naturally, he wanted her to be obedient and stayed by his side.

However, she actually went to have dinner with Howard at a foreign restaurant yesterday.

And that upset him a lot.

Meanwhile, with a pallid face, Elaine questioned,

"Why are you doing this? I don't need anything from you! Can't you just let me go?"
