章 779: Chapter 779: The Most Romantic Proposal (9)

The female nurse saw Howard Coleman's smile and thought he found her words interesting, so she continued: "Mr. Coleman, after your rescue and before you woke up in the ICU, you were unconscious for two whole days and nights. During that time, your wife stayed by your side. Her clothes were torn and stained with your blood. Your friends urged her to take a shower and rest, but she insisted on staying by your bedside. She didn't eat anything during those two days and nights. When our director came to the ward, he personally poured her a glass of water, and she reluctantly took a few sips. I was on duty for one of those nights, and when I was making my rounds, I saw her sitting by your bed, crying softly to herself. She must have been afraid that you wouldn't wake up, which is why she cried privately at night."

Howard continued to force a smile, feeling somewhat stiff as he chewed his food.
