Chapter 890
Chapter 890 I Saved Your Life At the hospital, Bianca felt her senses overwhelmed by the strong smell of disinfectant, but she was too tired to even notice.
There seemed to be a man's furious voice in her ears! "Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Malcolm grabbed the doctor's white coat, his eyes filled with dangerous hostility.
The doctor had intended to offer some standard explanation, but seeing the crimson rage in Malcolm's eyes and hearing his dissatisfaction, he swallowed his words. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Horatio stepped forward to pull Malcolm away. "Lord Malcolm, you're frightening the doctor." Malcolm pushed the doctor away. "What's wrong with her?" "The patient's immunity is already low. In such a situation, medication should have been
administered immediately without delay to control the illness." His words implied that Bianca should have taken medication the moment she noticed she was falling sick. The fact that she was in this state meant she had obviously delayed it.
Malcolm's head throbbed with pain.
Bianca barely had any skills to care for herself.
With such mediocre skills, how did she manage to run away from him?! Was she a cat with nine lives? How many did she have now?! "How is she?" "Everything's under control now. She's unconscious because her illness came on suddenly, and her body has expended a lot of energy trying to fight it off." So, she was exhausted.
Upon hearing this, Malcolm's tension eased a bit. He waved his hand, signaling for the others to leave. The doctor left in a hurry, feeling like he had just received a pardon.
Horatio looked at Malcolm with concern.
Clearly, his loss of control just now was unexpected for Horatio. Malcolm's decision to come here and even put everything aside had already told those around him that this woman's presence in Malcolm's heart was extraordinary! But it was still incredible when Horatio saw Malcolm care for someone so deeply. After all, even though Faye once held such a position in his heart, his attitude toward her had always been ambiguous.
He had never considered giving up everything for Faye. But now, this woman he hated to the core had somehow touched his heart! After Horatio left, only Bianca and Malcolm were left in the ward. Bianca was still in a deep sleep after receiving an injection and intravenous fluids. The redness on her face had temporarily faded.
Feeling the chill in her small hand, Malcolm muttered, "Fool!" Then, he tucked her hand under the blanket.
And as if it wasn't enough to keep her warm, he held her hand and refused to let go.
Bianca had always been in good health, so she had never been this sick in recent years.
But this time, it had hit her hard and overwhelmed her! Watching her sleeping figure, Malcolm's eyes flashed with endless indulgence.
He said softly, "Just be good and sleep." Whenever she was awake, this woman always stood against him. Either she would look at him with those defiant eyes of hers, or she would ignore him completely! No one had ever treated him like this before in his life. So, at first, he hated her and despised her. There were countless times when he wanted to crush her defiant spirit.
But it had been so many years, and she had spent quite a bit of time by his side! Ultimately, instead of suppressing the cold arrogance she carried, she had even thrown him off...!
What could be said about this woman? She constantly pushed his limits, making him want her life countless times.
The current scene had a feeling of peaceful tranquility, but Malcolm knew very well that once Bianca woke up, this calmness would be shattered! Suddenly, he hoped she wouldn't wake up so soon! Bianca slept for a long time.
After what felt like ages, the hazy feeling in her body gradually dissipated, and she finally opened her eyes.
It was already midnight outside.
As she shifted her body, she felt something uncomfortable in her hand. Looking down, she realized someone was holding it.
Looking down, she saw Malcolm leaning
against the edge of the hospital bed, his sleeping face so peaceful and beautiful...
He looked like a figure from a painting—gentle and elegant.
But Bianca knew that once this man opened his eyes, he would be more terrifying than any demon.
Frowning, she glanced at the IV drip hanging from her other hand. Then, she looked at Malcolm and pieced together what had happened.
With a swift motion, she withdrew her hand from his warm grasp and ripped out the needle from the back of her hand! When Malcolm woke up, the hospital bed was already empty. The IV drip still had half its liquid left, and it was casually left on the side, dripping away.
"That damn woman!" Damn it! Malcolm hadn't noticed she had
already woken up and hadn't finished her medication.
Where did she go? "Horatio!" Malcolm roared, his voice echoing through the entire ward.
Horatio, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly pushed the door open. "Yes, Lord Malcolm?" "Where is she?" "W-what?" Horatio's heart jumped into his throat when he saw the entire ward empty except for Malcolm.
Wasn't she with Malcolm? How could she suddenly disappear?! "I didn't see her leave either!" Did she disappear during his brief trip to the bathroom? Then...! Anxiously, he looked at Malcolm, who was
seething with rage by now.
Ignoring Horatio, Malcolm turned and stormed out.
That damned woman...! Did she even realize how serious her illness was this time? If Malcolm had known earlier, he would have just let her burn to death! That way, there would be one less person in his world to worry about.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Malcolm became.
Now, he was practically itching to tear Bianca apart! Inside the small wooden cabin, Bianca lit the fireplace. Despite the presence of central heating in the whole house, she still preferred the cozy warmth of the fireplace.
It was particularly cozy and comfortable for her to sit on the sofa by the fireplace and read
a book. She enjoyed that feeling very much.
Maybe it was due to the injection she received at the hospital, but she felt much more relaxed overall.
When the doorbell rang, Bianca was in the midst of studying Nancy's divorce case, preparing to file the lawsuit whenever she deemed fit.
Ding dong! Bianca set aside her book. She thought it might be Nancy, so she went ahead and opened the door without hesitation.
But as soon as she opened it, a brisk breeze surrounded her. Without seeing who it was, she instinctively wanted to close the door! But the next moment, a man's arm reached in and prevented her from doing so.
"Don't want to see me that badly, huh? I did save your life, you know?" Malcolm remarked, his demeanor reverting back to that of a jerk.
Besides relentlessly pursuing Bianca now, he... really couldn't think of any other way to
handle this!
