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.

He wanted to come to York many times but I refused.

Ming came to pick me up the day I left hospital. He said to me, “Dad wants to see you at night. I don’t know if you’d like to go.”

I stayed to see James. Since he called me, I must go.

I nodded. “OK, I’ll go back and change.”

My wound didn’t heal when I was in the hospital, so I had to ask the nurse to wash my hair and wipe my body.

Now I was almost recovered. I asked before I left the hospital. The doctor said I could take a shower but I couldn’t touch my wound. He told me the precautions.

Ming didn’t take me back to the studio but to his home.

When I went in, I found that Ming, who had few things, had many warm things at home.

For example, the pillow on the sofa and the cartoon toy beside the TV.

There were some handicrafts in many corners.

“This is...”

I looked at them and was confused.

Ming picked up a doll on the sofa and said, “I think you may live here for a few days. You might feel better with them.”

He was a little shy when he spoke.

I didn’t speak. He said, “if you don’t like it, I’ll accompany you to buy something else.”

“I like it.” I hurried over and stopped Ming, who was throwing away the doll.

I put the doll back on the sofa. I looked up and found a pink leopard in the corner.

This pink leopard...

Memories flooded into my mind.

It was bought by Daniell for me many years ago.

Ming seemed to realize that I was looking at the pink leopard. He said, “it’s in your house so I took it.”

“Well, thank you.” I smiled at him.

I said nothing.

The story about Daniell was over so I didn’t want to mention it.

But I must find out the cause of his death. If I met Ward one day, I would ask him!

Ming looked at me and worried when I put on my pajamas and was going to take a bath in the bathroom. After a long time he said, “can you really do it? Do you want me to come in and help you?”

“No!” I said nervously.

Although I was not sure if I could do it, I was really embarrassed to ask Ming to help me.

When I spoke, I could feel the heat on my face.

Ming smiled and came over. He raised his hand and touched my head. “OK, I’m at the door. Call me if you need anything. You are a patient now. In the eyes of doctors, patients have no gender.”

His words reassured me.

I thought if something really happened to me, I could call him.

I went in alone with my things. When I took a bath, I carefully protected my wound and avoided touching water.

In order not to touch the water, I turned off the shower when I washed my hair.

As a result, the bubbles flowed down my cheek.

My eyes were covered with bubbles.

I reached out quickly and touched the switch. But I made a mistake.

The water coming down was boiling hot!

“Ah!” I was scared and tried to turn off the tap, but the water fell on my hair. The bubbles all slid down so I couldn’t see anything.

The water was hot, so I couldn’t touch the tap at all!

When I shouted, I heard the bathroom door open. Ming rushed in. The next second, the shower was closed.

He took a towel and quickly wiped the bubbles off my face. He said nervously, “are you ok? Have you been burned?”

I looked at him and froze for two seconds. I realized I was naked!
