Chapter 39 Bird’s Nest
“Mr. Richards, the patient has lost too much blood and her body is weak. She needs a blood transfusion.” When Dr. Brooks saw Hansen, whose eyes were scarlet and his face looking twisted in pain. He was confounded.
Rumors had been swirling that Hansen was surrounded by innumerable beautiful women, and that he was soon going to be married to Aria McAdams, the great beauty in A city. A few days ago, reporters photographed him having dinner with Aria’s parents and discussing the wedding. However, the scene in front of him was that Hansen’s eyes were fixed on the weak woman in the hospital bed, and he looked like his heart seemed was full of sorrow.
Why was he so nervous about her? Was it because she saved him? Or did he actually love this woman, his ex-wife?
Although Dr. Brooks was surprised, he did not dare to speculate too much. After all, it was Hansen’s personal matters.
The personal affairs of successful people were usually mysterious and eventful. As a doctor, he should not speculate about gossip.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
However, even he could see that this woman on the hospital bed was very important to Hansen.
“Transfer the blood then! Use mine!” Hansen roared and rolled up his sleeves.
“That’s not possible,” Dr. Brooks said calmly, “There is a rule in the hospital that all the blood must be taken from the blood bank, not directly from someone. The reason why I tell you this is that the patient needs blood transfusion and her family members must be notified of this matter.” At this point, he quickly ordered the nurse to take the blood sample.
Hansen sat down disappointedly. His hands were entangled in his thick hair, and the pain in his heart instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones.
If something really happened to her, would he feel at ease for the rest of his life?
He just said that he wanted to get along well with her. Why did they still quarrel?
He now understood the root of the pain in his heart. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had no choice but to do so.
He actually cared about her!
Jenna was undergoing a blood transfusion. The doctor also gave her an injection for her fever.
Soon the red color on Jenna’s face faded away, and a strange white color showed, which was terrifying.
Hansen sat in front of the bed staring at her thin little face, and stroking her hand with his eyes closed.
He kept an eye on her and even forgot to eat.
He sat there in a daze. After a long time, he fell asleep in front of her bed.
He was awakened by a burst of soft groans from the bed!
He raised his head.
Jenna was staring blankly at the ceiling with her eyes wide open and her eyebrows tightly knitted. Perhaps it was because of pain, she gritted her teeth and whimpered softly.
“You’re awake,” Hansen asked in surprise.
Jenna turned to look at him and stared at him.
It seemed that she was recalling something, but at the same time, she looked as if she wanted to see through to his heart.
Hansen felt a rush of inexplicable panic, and he did not dare to look at her bright eyes directly. She looked at him absent-mindedly. Her clear eyes seemed to beckon him to fall in love at any time, which made him feel an inexplicable guilt.
Sure enough, after a while, the light in her eyes gradually extinguished, and an icy coldness gradually enveloped her eyes.
She turned her head and didn’t look at him anymore.
Hansen knew that she woke up from the coma and remembered what had happened in the morning, as well as his cruelty.
She hated him.
He was not angry at all.
He took the expensive bird’s nest soup sent by the hotel from the bedside table and gently propped up her body. He held her head softly and whispered in her ear, “You are weak. Have some bird’s nest soup, it’ll help with your recuperation.”
Jenna’s eyes were cold, and she looked like a wooden dummy. She didn’t even look at him, let alone answer him.
The corners of Hansen’s mouth were slightly turned up.
He held her in his arms and blew in her ear, “Do you want to eat it by yourself, or do you want me to feed you?”
Jenna’s ears were itchy. She turned her head and said coldly, “Get out of here. I want to rest. I don’t want you pretending to be nice here.”
“Why do you think that I am pretending? I sincerely hope that you will get better soon. Don’t forget that we signed a contract. I have a lot of things to do and I still need your cooperation. Before the design is finished, I will personally supervise you and sleep with you.” Hansen was overbearing, but his tone was gentle. Although it sounded bossy, it was not just an order at all.
Jenna had long seen through his capricious mood, so she didn’t intend to respond to him.
Hansen stared at her, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth. He picked up the soup, took a big sip, pulled her little face over, and covered her dry red lips.
His lips were on hers, and the soup on the tip of his mouth moistened her lips. It was sticky and she felt a little breathless. He gently bit her, but the picture of him kissing Aria suddenly flashed through Jenna’s mind. Suddenly, she felt nauseated. Before she could resist, he pinched her nostrils.
She opened her mouth and the warm and greasy liquid entered her mouth, mixed with his saliva. She made an “ah” sound and the liquid slipped into her stomach with a gurgle.
“That’s more like it!” Hansen was satisfied to see Jenna drinking the bird’s nest soup. He chuckled and said, “Do you want me to feed you like this or will you eat it yourself?”
He asked with a faint smile. However, his tone was not negotiating at all, but rather, threatening.
Jenna knew that she couldn’t defeat this strong and reckless man at all. He had always been supercilious and could do whatever he wanted. He was determined to make her drink!
If she did not listen to him, she would have to taste more of his saliva. It was best if she just obeyed him.
At any time, it was an easy act for him to teach her a lesson. On top of that, her resistance was simply not worth mentioning.
She glared at him and opened her mouth.
“Yeah, good girl.” Hansen was satisfied and laughed out loud. He took a spoonful of the bird’s nest and fed it to her. He didn’t feel relieved until she swallowed all of it.
“That’s more like a woman,” Hansen said with a wicked smile on his face.
Jenna’s eyes were wide open, and she felt helpless.
After finishing the soup, she felt that her energy was coming back into her body. She curled her lip and ignored his trick. She turned her head to look at him and said softly, “You should go back. I can stay here by myself. I don’t need you to take care of me.”
“If I hadn’t rushed over this afternoon, what would have happened to you?” Hansen’s eyes became more and more resentful. He said with anger, “Shouldn’t you call a nurse yourself if you didn’t feel well? You’re not a child anymore.”
Jenna felt suffocated in her heart, and the anger rushed to her head. D*mn it, she had heard him shouting at the nurse outside, “Ignore that b*tch, let her die on her own.”
He was the one who gave the order, but now he was here trying to be the nice guy. She didn’t want to bother with him at all.
“What’s wrong with you?” Hansen looked at Jenna who was flushing again. Cold sweat was running down her forehead. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was breathing heavily. He was in a panic. He quickly put his hand on Jenna’s forehead and pressed the bell at the head of the bed.
Within a short time, Dr. Brooks and the nurses came over and busied themselves for a long time.
“Mr. Richards, the patient is now weak. Please do not agitate the patient. It would be bad for her recovery,” Dr. Brooks invited Hansen to the side and whispered, but the emotion in his eyes was unclear.
Hansen was stunned, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes, but he cursed bitterly, “You d*mn woman.”
After hearing Hansen’s words, Dr. Brooks rushed to Jenna’s side and nervously looked at her. He could not help but shake his head.
After confirming that she was fine, Hansen sat down in front of the bed, opened a steaming thermos, and ordered aggressively, “Have some oatmeal.”
Jenna closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.
Hansen bent down and stared at her. The blush on her face had not completely faded. Her eyes were tightly shut, but her long eyelashes were slightly trembling. She didn’t look like she was asleep at all. He couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.
“Stop pretending to be asleep. I will supervise you in person these coming days. From now on, you have to follow my order. Finish the food and cooperate with the doctor. I want you to get better as soon as possible,” he whispered in her ear in a commanding tone.
After saying that, he scanned her from top to bottom. She kept her eyes shut and ignored him. He was a little annoyed and said, “Don’t be ungrateful. You are the only woman in the world that I have personally taken care of. Don’t play coy, my patience is limited.”
He was so arrogant and overbearing, behaving as if it was a great gift that he was going to take care of her.
“Then I’ll ask you to leave. I don’t need your care. It’s my own fault that I saved you. It has nothing to do with you.” Jenna closed her eyes. Her voice was weak but firm.
“You…” Hansen almost jumped up because of her words. The suppressed anger in his heart was ignited again. He wanted to fly into a rage, but when he saw Jenna lying in bed weakly, he swallowed the anger.
“Jenna, why are you so stubborn? Shouldn’t women be more gentle?” He suppressed his anger, cleared his voice, and said with difficulty, “I have thought about it these days. No matter what kind of conflict we had in the past, we should have let it go and talk peacefully. Even if we can’t be a couple, we can still be friends. Why do we have to be enemies? I have decided that no matter what you did or what harm you brought to me or my father, I will forget all this. After all, we are still young, and we have a long road ahead of us. Don’t worry, as long as you stay in the company, I will compensate you well. If you decide to leave, I will not force you to stay. However, you still have to honor the contract. Just like any other employee, the contract is for a year. It’s the company’s regulations.”
Hansen’s eyes were deep, and his tone was gentle and calm.
He was tired. Since she appeared in front of him, he had been in a mess. His life was also in disarray. He really needed to calm down.
He warned himself not to provoke her. This woman had already impacted his life, and he was going to marry Aria. They should lead their own lives, but he couldn’t control himself and wanted to involve himself with her matters.
Even he himself couldn’t figure out what was going on.
