chapter-170


    A slightly nervous April was scratching his head while he wondered what he could do to keep Hanson’s


    n going.


    In the meantime, Hanson seemed unconcerned about that, for he didn’t mind whatever Vania would tell


    him. After all, every word from her sounded like music to his ears, especially when her voice was filled


    with worry. In fact, it always tickled his fantasy.


    When April didn’t respond, Vania thought he had agreed to it, so she cleared her throat and acted as if


    she knew what to do. “Alright, here I go.”


    “Wait, Mrs. Luke. Perhaps you could start by telling him a bit about your life; that would be more


    conducive to waking the patient up.” Deep down, he didn’t think that Hanson would love to hear Vania


    memorize the passage from a textbook. Then, he pointed at the door and added, “Perhaps I should


    excuse myself to give you a little privacy for your little conversation. Ring the bell when Hansones


    around, but for now, I shall leave him in your care.”


    “Hey, don’t go yet…” Before Vania could finish her words, April quickly scurried out of the ce, refusing


    to be the third wheel in the ward.


    Vania sighed, thinking she had no conversation to make with Hanson, but deep down, she couldn’t help


    but wonder what Larry and April were up to, judging from their fishy behaviors. Why does something not


    feel right here? Vania doubted what was going on but decided not to dwell too much on it, considering


    the circumstances she was under.


    Thus, she helplessly shook her head and sat down beside Hanson’s bed, gazing at the man whose eyes


    were closed while wondering what she should say. What am I going to do now? Cry pitifully as Larry did


    earlier? Despite her doubts, she was still worried about Hanson’s condition, so she could only sigh


    helplessly.


    Meanwhile, Hanson was happy with Larry and April, thinking they were sensible enough to leave him


    alone with Vania. While the ward was now left with him and Vania in it, thedy tucked the man in, but


    her reaction didn’t seem to make the man feel happy. Can’t you talk about something? Why do you have


    to tuck me in with the nket? It’s hot being wrapped in this thing.


    Nheless, the man could only endure thedy’s words as he listened to thedy speaking in a


    concerned manner. “Wake up, Hanson. The kids and I were shocked when we learned about your


    condition, but I’m happy to know that you’re going to be fine. So, please wake up and put our minds to


    ease.”


    However, it was only after she said those words that she realized they didn’t sound appropriate; they


    made her feel as if she and her children were his family, but the next second, she was grateful that the


    unconscious man couldn’t hear what she had just said.

    Nevertheless, little did thedy know that Hanson heard every single word that came out of her mouth


    just now as he felt very delighted deep down. After all, he didn’t expect Vania and her children, in


    particr, to worry about him so much. Therefore, he couldn’t help but think that his n of pretending to


    be sick was all worth it.


    In the meantime, Vania continued to urge Hanson to wake up and tell him how everybody else was


    worried about him when he didn’t show any response. A few momentster, Hanson started to respond a


    little by twitching his eyelids, whereupon Vania excitedly leaned closer and called out to him. “Hanson,


    it’s me, Vania. I’m right here, so open your eyes.”


    While Vania gazed at Hanson’s face with a worried yet hopeful look, the man’s eyelids twitched once


    again shortly before his eyes opened. At that moment, the first thing that came to sight was Vania’s face


    with her concerned yet surprised expression on it. Meanwhile, Vania smiled brightly when she saw


    Hanson waking up. “You…”


    However, before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled toward Hanson’s embrace by his


    powerful grip as the man wrapped his arms around her so tightly that she could barely breathe. While the


    lady tried to struggle and free herself, Hanson loosened his grip around her so that he wouldn’t suffocate


    her, but he showed no signs of letting go. Then, he implored her to stay with him. “Don’t move. Please


    just let me hug you.”
