A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 45

What was going on here? Why was the nurse so excited when seeing her come back?

The nurse held Audrey's arm and said, "A patient is not allowed to leave the hospital on their own. How could you leave without noticing us?"

Audrey felt a little embarrassed when the nurse was questioning her.

"Well, I had something important to deal with, so I had to go out. And..."

"Fine. But why did you turn your mobile phone off?" The nurse questioned her again.

She didn't turn off her phone, but she had it on vibration mode when talking with Edward.

"I didn't turn it off." Audrey took out her phone and pressed the button, but it didn't work.

Audrey could say nothing.

Audrey explained in an awkward tone, "Well, it was powered off automatically."

The nurse looked at Audrey with a sad face.

"Miss, please don't leave the hospital without noticing us. Please remember to tell us if you wanna go out. Okay?"

Audrey was being silent.

Audrey went straight back to her ward. Just as she changed into her hospital gown and lay down, there was a swift patter of feet outside the door. And Bryson showed up in her ward soon.

Bryson looked cold with a glint of anxiety in his eyes on his way to the ward of Audrey. However, he wasn't being cold the moment he saw her.

"Where did you go?" Bryson asked.

Audrey replied hurriedly, "Uh, Blair's lawyer, Mr. Edward, called me and he wanted to meet me, so I went out. My phone had 10 percent of battery left when I left the hospital. And I didn't know when it died."

Seeing Audrey fine, Bryson naturally felt relieved.

After listening to Audrey's explanation, Bryson intended to ask why Audrey didn't leave him a message or call him.

But he was in no position to do that.

If he did that now, it would burden her.

After Audrey finished explaining, Bryson nodded indifferently.

"You're back. It's fine."

Audrey replied nothing to him.

But how come what Bryson said just now sounded weird? It was like she was a prodigal who hung outside, but her husband forgave her after she straightened up and came back?

...

Before Kylee came to her ward, another unexpected guest, Simon, came.

When Simon arrived, Audrey was reading on the bed.

When seeing Simon holding a bouquet of burning red roses,

Audrey was tongue-tied.

"Why did you come to the hospital?"

"I heard from my great grandmother that you fainted and was sent to hospital last night, so I came to visit you." Simon replied very frankly. He looked at Audrey with concern, "I'm worried about you. Do you feel good now?"

Audrey said with an awkward smile, "Yeah. I'm fine."

Simon said, "I mean, you've already been in your twenties. Why can't you take good care of yourself? Do you know how worried I am?"

Audrey could say nothing to reply.

But feel a chill cast down her spine.

Besides, Audrey could clearly sense the gloomy vibes around Bryson in the ward. And the feeling was spreading in the ward.

However, Simon didn't notice it at all.

"There's another house of my family in Peace City, and nobody lives there. You can move there. And I can send some servants to take care of you." Simon was suggesting seriously.

Audrey didn't reply.

Audrey rubbed her forehead, "Simon, what do you want?"

Simon rolled his eyes. "Can't you get it? I'm showing my concern for you."

"But I don't need it. Besides, I'm six years older than you. I could even be your aunt if I were several years older.

"Age means nothing to me. I don't mind."

Audrey was rendered speechless.

'But I do.' She thought to herself.

"Simon, you'll take the college entrance examination next month, right? You're supposed to stay focused on your studies and get into a good university. Then you can live up to the expectations of your parents." Audrey persuaded him in a patient way.

"It's quite easy for me to get into a good university, isn't it?" Simon looked dismissive.

Simon did come from a rich family. Besides, he was also a top student at school. So it would really be easy for him to get into a good university as he wanted, even if he didn't rely on his family.

Audrey said, "..."

That was true. Simon was the eldest son of the Randall family, also Bryson's nephew. Any school would probably feel honored to send him an admission letter if it was pleasing to the eye of Simon.

"Simon, I don't have a thing for you."

"Our bonding can be built. You don't have a thing for me now because you don't know me well. You'll naturally have feelings for me when you know all of me. Trust me. I'll treat you well for sure when you're with me."

Audrey felt too annoyed to reply.

Why was the boy so stubborn?

Kylee came to the ward with her servant soon.

She was surprised when she saw Simon there.

"Simon, you're here. Did you come to visit your aunt?"

"Yes."

"I would have brought another portion of food, if you had told me that."

"Great Grandmother, don't worry about me. I'm going back to school."

"Well, fine."

Simon blinked his eyes and asked, "Great Grandmother, you do like Aunt Elliana, and you want her to always stay by your side, don't you?"

"Of course."

"That's good."

"Kid, you always ask these weird questions."

"Great Grandmother, with so many people staying here it isn't good for Aunt Elliana's recovery, so I'm leaving first."

"Okay. Bryson, see Simon out."

"Alright."

As Bryson was replying to Kylee, he went out of the ward with Simon.

...

Bryson sent Simon downstairs.

When Simon was waiting for his driver, he looked at Bryson with a glitter in his eyes.

"Bryson, could you do me a favor?"

"What's that?"

"Help me get Audrey."

Bryson didn't say a word.

Casting a glance at Simon, Bryson asked in a casual tone, "Which university are you gonna get into?"

"Of course, I'll stay in Peace City. This way, I can always meet Audrey."

Simon had already planned it well.

He originally intended to study abroad, but he had decided to stay here since that night.

As they were talking, Simon's driver arrived and then he got in the car.

When Simon's car disappeared from Bryson's sight, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello. This is Bryson."

"It's about the college entrance examination of my nephew, Simon. I hope the university he fills in on the application form is in Country M, but it should be a good one, and it should be located in the suburbs with poor transportation facilities."

After hanging up the phone, Bryson looked somewhat pleased. Then, he turned around and walked back to the inpatient department as if nothing had happened.
