Chapter 168 – Can’t Hurt You
The next day, Mia got up early and came to Asher’s ward early, picked up the porridge that had been boiling for a long time and fed it to Asher spoon by spoon.
“I’d rather stay in the hospital for the rest of my life if I could keep going like this.” Looking at the serenity and absolute beauty on Mia’s stunningly beautiful little face, Asher gave a rare pout.
“You, what are you talking about, I can feed you like this even when you’re out of the hospital.” Giving Asher a disgruntled glare, Mia brought another spoonful of porridge to his mouth, “Okay, open your mouth.”
Smiling wickedly, Asher’s dark eyes looked ambiguously at the face in front of him, “Mia , if you could feed me with your mouth, I would feel better about this porridge, and I would get better, probably faster!”
“You, if you keep making such a bad move, I’ll, I’ll leave you alone …,” Mia froze at Asher’s teasing and quickly snapped back to her senses, puffing up her small mouth in discontent and protest. This man, his spirits are just getting better, and he has the spirit to tease himself now, right?
If she had known that, she shouldn’t have come early to feed him porridge and just let him lie by himself!Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as the two men were jostling, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind them, “What are you …”
The two men turned their heads in unison, and standing behind them was Lina with a look of shock and anger and a hint of suspicious nervousness. Despite coming to the wardroom, she was still dressed in a Chanel dress, her face a carefully retouched makeup that made her look even more enchantingly beautiful.
But that beauty, at the sight of the scene before her, hardened into a distortion, and jealousy and resentment shot out of her eyes.
“What brings you here?” After seeing Lina, instead of letting go of Mia’s hand, Asher asked indifferently as he clutched Mia’s hand tightly in his hand. It was as if, standing in front of him, was just an irrelevant stranger.
This time, Mia didn’t pull her small hand away, but just quietly placed it in Asher’s large palm and followed suit, asking lightly, “Miss Lai, what brings you to the hospital when you have time?”
After saying that, the two men looked at each other and smiled.
Their sweetness was seen by Leena, who only hated it and said angrily, “Mia, I think, I should ask you that. I’m Asher’s fiancée, can’t I come and see him, what are you?”
“Lena, I’m warning you, don’t ever let me hear anything like that again.” Clenching the small hand in her hand, Asher’s voice was cold and unfeeling, “You were nothing the moment you threatened me, don’t keep bringing this up, it’ll make me sick. Besides, don’t you see that you’re the one who’s redundant?”
“Miss Lai, let me also say something to you, I have been giving in to you before because of the gap between Asher and I. From now on, if you dare to say one more abusive word to me, I will give you color.” Mia looked straight at Lina, whose face had suddenly turned white in front of her, and said in a light-hearted manner.
Lena leapt to her feet.
“Mia, what kind of a thing are you, how dare you talk to me in such a tone. Mia, don’t think that, by doing this, you will be able to marry Asher, I tell you, you want to marry Asher, it’s still far away, I … “Lena’s anger , finally all of it was vented on Mia.
Before Mia could say anything, Asher immediately sat up and shot his grim gaze straight at Leena, saying nonchalantly, “Leena, take back that statement you just made, I don’t want to hear that, and I hope you take it back!”
“Asher, you …” looking incredulously at Asher who stood up for Mia, Lena’s face went white, red, red, and finally turned an iron blue, but she didn’t know how to retort, she could only hate and “Okay, okay, Mia, count on you, I’ll go, I’ll go okay? Remember, I won’t let you marry Asher, absolutely not!”
Riina drew her feet and tried to leave, but Mia, who had always held back, was one step ahead of her and stopped her, not the slightest intention of letting her go, cocking her head curiously and asking, “Miss Riina, how did you know about Asher’s hospitalization when few people knew about it?”
“That, I …” Riina was momentarily stumped, seemingly unsure how to answer the question, glancing in alarm at Asher who was looking at her coldly from the bed, “I, I heard about it, can’t I? I’ve known Asher for so long, can’t I ask around?”
Her reasoning was, well, a bit far-fetched.
I thought that this would be a stall, but Asher opened his mouth to retort, “Leena, I’ve known you for so long, I still don’t know about those people we know? Only my family knows about my hospitalization, and none of those people have revealed it, so you’re really treating me like a fool if you know it through those people!”
Asher fiddled with his fingers habitually, in a completely superior posture, and the ordinary man who had been mushy with Mia a moment ago immediately reverted to his usual posture of a cold king.
She finally realized that Asher was only an ordinary man in front of Mia, and in front of her, he would always be the king on high!
“Asher is right, Ms. Ri seems to take us both for fools. This kind of talk, honestly, I truly can’t stand to watch it.” Mia, who was standing at the side, held her arms, a mocking smile on her stunningly beautiful little face.
The open royalty on Riina’s delicate face finally showed, hastily intent on getting around Mia, “Mia, you need to get out of the way, what are you stopping me for? If you stop me again, I’ll call the police!”
“Yo, Asher, Miss Ri is actually calling the police.” Mia finally broke into a smile and gave way to Leena, walking over to the hospital bed and pouting, “Asher, Miss Lai was so big just now, it scared the hell out of me!”
“It’s okay, I’m here, you don’t have to be afraid.” Smiling gently, Asher wrapped his arms around Mia and tenderly planted a kiss on her bare forehead, “I’m here for everything, you don’t have to worry.”
Asher’s attitude was very different from the way he treated Leena.
Riina’s face went red for a while, her face looked like a multicolored panel, colorful, biting her lower lip so hard that she almost bit it to bleed, before finally being ruthless, stomping her foot and leaving Asher’s senior ward in a huff.
When Lina left, Asher swept the small woman in his arms tighter, a gangly smile surfaced on his handsome face, his voice ambiguous, “Just now, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Ah, what, what are you talking about, I don’t even understand.” A playful smile flashed across her face as Mia simply buried her little face into Asher’s arms and said in a muffled voice, “What, seeing how I treated your ex-fiancée just now, you’re heartbroken?”
Mia deliberately put a heavy emphasis on the word “former”, with a playful smile all over her little face.
“Little one, of course I know what your mentality is, but don’t worry, you can do whatever you want as long as you like.” Asher gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear and gently came up to her ear and said, “But promise me you’ll never let yourself be wronged or hurt in any way again, got it?”
Hearing Asher’s words, Mia’s heart warmed, and she pulled her head out of his arms, looked straight into his dark, deep eyes, and said, “Asher, I was too weak before, and I’ve suffered a lot. I promise, from now on, I won’t be wronged in any way!”
Having known Asher for so long, she had endured a lot of aggravation and encounters, and many times, she was just unsure of her feelings for Asher, which was why she had put up with Riina, and now that she was sure of her feelings for Asher, she would never put up with Riina again.
“Okay, little fool, if only you had been like this earlier.” Slender fingers, rubbing Mia’s fair face, Asher’s face overflowed with a smile, “As long as you’re well, I’ll say anything, even if someone else hurts you again, I’ll never allow it.”
Re-buried into Asher’s arms, a hint of confusion surfaced on Mia’s stunning face as she asked in disbelief, “Asher, do you feel that this time, Lina seems strange. Especially when you asked her how she knew you were hospitalized, she seemed to be flustered. I think, is there something she’s hiding from you?”
“I felt it too, this time when Leena came to the hospital and seemed to see that it was me who was sick, she immediately panicked a little.” Asher’s hand, subconsciously stroked Mia’s face, “It always felt like, something was wrong. Could it be, that this incident, has something to do with her?”
“Asher, let me ask you a question then.” Raising her small face from Asher’s arms, Mia flashed her big black and white eyes with a serious look on her face, “If this really has something to do with Lena, what would you do?”
Gently scratching Mia’s small, straight nose, Asher’s face was full of doting, but when he heard Lina’s name, a hint of coldness crossed his eyes, “Mia, don’t worry, if this hurts you too, I will never let her go! No matter who it is! Do you understand?”
“Asher, for the first time I realized that you turned out to be so manly.” Touchingly hugging Asher’s waist, Mia gave him a fierce peck on his handsome face, “No matter how you handle this, I won’t have any complaints. Because I know that your feelings for me are real.”
“Fool, of course it’s true, it was true five years ago, and you’re just now realizing it?” Inwardly touched by Mia, Asher fiercely took the little woman in front of him into his arms and kissed her fiercely on the cheek.
