Bab 69: Say the word
Sara gradually opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the blanket covering her body for a while before finally remembering she was in the hospital to visit Mr Li.
She stood up abruptly and looked around. Mr Li was no where to be found. Then she saw him enter. He had just returned from the bathroom.
"You're finally awake" He said with a warm smile.
Sara nodded. Was she supposed to apologise about suddenly falling asleep?
"I was supposed to watch you. I can't believe I slept off"
Muchen chuckled. Then sat on the bed.
"Your father called. He was worried. I told him I'll send you home once you're awake" He said.
"My Father called? I just left there about an hour ago. Did he say something was wrong?" She tried to find her phone on the couch since the blanket was covering it.
When she finally saw it, she checked to see various missed calls from her Father.
Muchen was just watching her, not saying anything. Then he saw her eyes bulge out.
"Ah! it's... it's past 11 already?" She asked in utter shock.
The windows were closed, The light in the room was brightly lit. Everything was the same as when she entered earlier. How long had she slept?
She moved to the window and pushed the curtain out to confirm. It was really dark outside.
"Why didn't you wake me up? I only wanted to wait till you finished eating"
"You've been stressed out. I should have asked Dr Long to admit you"
"Wait, you look just fine. Are you better now? How's your health?" She unconsciously moved to where he was and placed a hand on his head to check his temperature.
He was sitting, she was standing. There were both so close to each other. The proximity had an effect on Muchen greatly, especially as he was directly facing her breast.
"I think you are better, I should call the doctor now"
She was about turning when he held her hand and dragged her back.
Sara was really startled this time. She looked down at him and their eyes met. Her heart skipped a bit.
Why was he staring at her like that?
"Is something wrong Mr Li?" She asked
"I'm okay. You don't have to call him. He came over while you were asleep" He answered.
"It means you're ready for discharge right?" She asked with a tiny smile.
He let lose a laugh. "You hate coming here?" He asked.
She was captivated by his smile. Everything about him was just so good. Those dimple of his. She had the urge to touch it. But she knew she couldn't. She wouldn't! What was she thinking? she pushed the thought out of her mind. "No. This place is nice. Looks like an hotel even." She ran her eyes over the room. "But I'm happy.. I mean, it's a good thing you are getting discharged."
'She really doesn't remember' He had at least expected her to remember their conversation. But he knew that would not be possible.
'Wait, she just said here looked like an hotel.'
"An hotel?" He asked.
"Of cour...." Sara knew something was wrong somewhere with his question. She didn't say anything else and just stared at him.
'Ah! So she's really been to an hotel? Was it with the Mo Bastard?' Well, he didn't care about that. She was in his room right now. Even though it was not his room literally.
"Mr Li, you are still holding my hand" She reminded him.
"Are you sure I am?" He asked cocking a brow at her.
Sara looked down at their hands and noticed she was the one actually holding him now. 'When did this happen?'
She flinched and pushed his hand away as she took a few steps back.
Muchen laughed out. She had unconsciously held his hand when she was happily asking if he was ready for discharge. He noticed it but chose not to say a word about it.
"I'll leave now Mr Li"
"Sara" He called.
"Can...can you please keep addressing me formally?" It was more of a statement than a question. Why did he always call her Sara. It was always uncomfortable for her whenever he called her that.
"I don't want to" He simply said. "You can address me informally if you wish"
What? Is he crazy or something? Was she supposed to be calling him Muchen?
"By chance... You are not calling me crazy in your head right?" He asked.
Sara's eyes bulged out. "Of course not!" Her exaggerated denial gave her off.
'She really called me crazy' He thought with a smile. At least, he was able to decipher her thoughts now.
"I enjoyed the meal. It really made me feel better. So I have a reward for you" He said
Sara looked at him quizzically 'Rewar....'
"Say it out Sara. Not in your head" He interrupted her thought.
Sara almost laughed when she heard him. She was already so used to conversing with her self.
"I was not expecting any reward from you. Besides, it's my fault you are here"
"It's not your fault. It would have happened if I was just sitting at home that night" The last thing he needed was Sara to add to her problems by taking responsibility for his ill health.
"Really?" She asked expectantly. She had been feeling guilty for a long time.
"Yea. So tell me anything you want. I'll do it if I can. If I can't, I'll also do it"
After he answered the call from Jianjun after several missed calls, he saw her browser which had been left open. She had been searching for where to get a good loan without much interest. He figured they might be trying to get a new apartment. So right now, this was an opening. For her to ask him for anything. If she even asked him for an estate, he would give it to her.
Sara looked at him. She wondered if he was serious. Anything? He would do it? This was good! It was a dream come through.
"Mr Li. I hope you don't get angry with what I'm about to ask and think I'm trying to use you" She said.
"Go on" He nodded.
"Actually... Actually... Can you.."
Muchen looked at her expectantly.. 'Say the word. Just say the word'
"Can you have a personal meeting with Joreen?" She asked
