President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 276

After I finished, his arm was obviously stiff.

He stood up slightly and looked at me. He had some confusion on his face.

I looked at his face and couldn’t help but froze.

Sean’s face was covered with green stubble. His eyes were sunken. He had dark eye circles. His cheeks seemed to be a little sunken and his skin was in poor condition.

It was like...

It was like...

He didn’t sleep well for a long time.

Looking at him like this, my heart hurt a lot.

I couldn’t help but reach out and touch his cheek. I asked him, “you...”

“Sean.”

When Sean was about to answer, Ming came in.

He came up to us and said to Sean, “Eric is waiting for you outside. He said he had something to tell you.”

Sean looked up at Ming. He hesitated for a moment and stood up.

When he took back his arms and the familiar temperature left, I felt very reluctant.

He gently put me back on the bed.

It seemed that I was his most precious treasure.

Sean turned around and was leaving. I could not help but reach for his clothes.

But I knew I shouldn’t do it. I quickly took my hand back.

He turned his head and clearly felt my movement. He smiled and raised his hand. He seemed to want to touch my face but his hand was hanging in the air. He paused and took it back.

He turned and left.

I kept staring at Sean’s back until I couldn’t see him.

After a long time, I realized that Ming was still standing next to me.

I looked at him awkwardly and apologized subconsciously, “I’m sorry. I...”

“It’s OK.” The expression on Ming’s face was gentle.

He sat next to me.

The doctor took my blood pressure again.

After that, I couldn’t help asking Ming, “he doesn’t seem to have a good rest...”

“Sean?” Ming looked at Sean and nodded, “yes, something happened to the Giant group these days. He’s been dealing with it so he didn’t have a good rest.”

“Oh...” I nodded and asked, “how did you find me?”

At this time, the doctor was taking my temperature.

Ming told me, “Sean went there that day but he found a bowl at the door of the studio. He called you but no one answered. He broke in.”

It was him.

He saved me.

I was in a mixed mood after I knew it.

“Where are Inez and Marlin?”

“Sean was so busy saving you that he didn’t catch them immediately, but then the police caught them. Now they are in custody and waiting to be sentenced.” Ming took my hand and said, “I was worried about you these days when you were in a coma.”

I nodded.

He said he was the one who accompanied me.

The temperature I held in the dark those days was my only consolation and gave me hope.

-

I stayed in the hospital for another two weeks before I could be discharged.

I had been accompanied by Ming during my time in the hospital. I never saw Sean again.

Lester and I had been making video calls all those days.
