After a brief silence, Sasha made up her mind. “Ms. Moore, please do your best to treat me. I’ll definitely cooperate with you and get better soon.”
Arielle heaved a sigh of relief, for her reverse psychology worked.
“Mm!” Sasha nodded obediently.
Larrisa arrived with her medical kit the moment Arielle finished disinfecting the wound. She brought along good news as well.
“Ms. Arielle,” said Larissa happily. “Mr. Nightshire is here! He’s talking to Mr. Southall in the living room. Mr. Southall wants you there, and I told him you’re strolling in the backyard to buy you some time.”
Arielle brightened at the news. Vinson’s back!
She was actually quite worried about his overseas trip, so the news of his safe return relieved her no end.
However, Sasha’s response was huge.
“Mr. Nightshire!” She made to get up.
Arielle pushed her back to the bed. “I’ve just disinfected your wound. Don’t you move around! I’ll give you an injection to lower your temperature. Stay here. I’ll bring him here if there’s a chance.”
Nodding profusely, Sasha returned to her original lying position on the bed.
Arielle prepared the dose and injected the medication into Sasha’s body. She then told Larissa to stay here with Sasha before heading toward the living room.
In the living room, Henrick was turning down Vinson’s gift.
“Why did you waste money to get me a gift on a working trip?” was what Henrick said, but he took the gift, anyway. “Can I unwrap it?” he asked.
Henrick took one look at the cake and felt extremely annoyed. “You must miss each other a lot. I won’t take up your time, then. Go upstairs and talk in your room.”
“All right. Thanks, Dad,” Vinson replied. He grabbed the other two gift boxes and turned to Arielle. “Let’s go upstairs. I have some gifts for you. You can unwrap them in your room.”
“Sure!” Arielle shot him a nod, her eyes twinkling with mirth. It seemed that she was really thrilled to be reunited with her husband after a long separation.
Vinson felt his heart racing at the sight.
When did my heartbeat become this irregular?
He pressed his chest silently and followed Arielle up the stairs.
Back in her room, Arielle put away her smile. She checked Vinson out and inquired, “How are you? Did you get hurt? Did you run into any trouble?”’
