Aurelia approached and felt it carefully. The bridge of Neil’s nose was a little red. She pressed it lightly.
Neil was in pain, but his years of acting experience ensured he could control his expression. No matter how much it
hurt, he could hold it in. Moreover, he was in a plight there. He had to keep up his character regardless…
Aurelia sighed and sat down next to him. Other than the faint sorrow in her pretty eyes, there was a determined
faith. She was confident that Neil would wake up. He would not just abandon her.
She spoke softly to herself, “Uncle, you’ve been in bed for three days. You should be getting up, right?
“Dr. Irwin came yesterday. He said the surgery was a success and that the bullet didn’t hit anything vital. You should
be waking up after the surgery.
“But Dr. Irwin also said that the anesthesiologist probably wasn’t aware during the surgery and gave you too much
anesthetic. Hah, how could there be an anesthesiologist like that?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uncle, even if it’s too much anesthetic, it’s been three days now. You should really be waking up.
“You know what? Let’s make a deal. Wake up this afternoon, okay? It’s sunny today. I’ll take you out after you wake
up!”
Neil was hit with waves of sweet romance while listening to Aurelia. He really wanted to sit up right now and pull her
into a hug with his uninjured hand and recklessly…
There was a subtle quirk in his lips.
Aurelia froze before she went closer to him, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Her warm puffs of breath brushed against Neil’s face alongside her fragrance, making his heart beat faster. After a
while, he heard the girl mutter, “Did I see it wrong?”
Neil stayed still without any change on his face.
If he were to star in Trinity’s film now, the director would be surprised to discover that he was actually so talented
at playing an unconscious patient.
Aurelia turned to move away.
Neil did not know where she was going, but he heard her footsteps going farther. He wanted to open his eyes to see
what was going on, but once he thought of how clueless he was to keep up his act when he opened his eyes and
might anger the girl… he might as well keep lying there.
It was just that… How would he go on with this script?
When the girl left the next time, he ought to call and ask the professional who was Trinity!
“Uncle.” Aurelia’s voice suddenly rang next to Neil’s ear.
Neil froze. Fortunately, he did not open his eyes carelessly just now, or he would have exposed himself!
The girl seemed to have put something down, and there was also the sound of water running.
“Uncle, it’s been days, and you haven’t had a bath… I’ll wipe you down now. Be good!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeil thought, ‘Of course, I will be good!’ He was pleased with himself.
Aurelia had just fetched a basin of warm water and wetted a towel. She carefully pulled the blanket off Neil and
slowly removed his clothes.
Neil tried his best to keep his breathing calm.
Aurelia wiped each inch of his skin seriously.
The man was the type to look lean when he was dressed but was actually muscular without a shirt. With his clothes
off, his washboard abs were revealed.
Aurelia carefully tugged his clothes to the side… His wound was still heavily bandaged, but it was already much
better than the day before when she saw it was still seeping blood.
Aurelia’s eyes were rimmed red as her heart ached.
“You… You’re so silly.” She sobbed. “Why did you take that bullet? Do you think you’re filming? That was a real
gun!”
