Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 94

Elsa felt that she had waited for a long time before he unbuckled his belt. She blushed and said, "I can do it myself now."

Soren put the transfusion bottle on a safe place and kissed her on the forehead, and then he said, "Fine, I'll go out for a while, but you must call me later."

"Okay." Watching him leave, he closed the door carefully for her before he went out.

She went to the bathroom. She wanted to buckle up her belt with one hand, but failed after trying for a while. Finally, she called his name, "Ren?"

"I'm here." He appeared at the door almost at once and pushed it open. Elsa felt so ashamed that she closed her eyes and let him tidy her clothes.

Then he carried her out of the bathroom. When he got out, he took out her pajamas and said with a smile, "You can't take a shower for the time being, so you have to change the clothes. It will help you sleep better."

Elsa still wore the shirt and trousers she wore at work. Since she was sick all day and night, she had no time to change them. Just now, she sweated a lot and it clung to her body, which made her a little uncomfortable. She nodded. "Okay."

It was not convenient to change the cloth by herself since she had the drip infusion. Therefore, all the things did by Soren for her. He took off her clothes and even changed her underwear for her without exception. After packing and putting them in the bag beside, he said with a smile, "We can wash them only in a few days later."

Elsa was so shy that she did not know how to face him again. She buried her head in the quilt. "I want to sleep."

"Well, drink some water before you go to sleep." He poured some warm water and brought it to her. "I asked Donna to bring me some pickled vegetables that my mother had made. I have made some congee. You lie down again and you will be able to eat in a while."

"I bring too much trouble to Donna. Actually, I can eat anything."

"You need to eat more so that you can recover quickly." Soren pinched her nose and continued, "From now on, listen to me, okay?"

Looking into his eyes, she nodded and said, "Okay."

She turned her head to the bed and saw a bunch of red roses. She whispered, "It smells good."

"Do you like it? Mom and Uncle Heather came here just now. I didn't wake you up since you were asleep. "

"I am so rude." Elsa was a little embarrassed. "I'm made everybody so busy, yet, I'm still sleeping here."

"Then get well soon, and you won't feel sorry for their concern and care." Soren laughed and arranged the roses in front of Elsa.

"Did you sleep just now?" asked Elsa, poking her head out of the quilt.

"I had a good sleep." Soren yawned and said, "See? I don't even want to get up. I'll go get you some medicine. Take it and have a rest. "

After he got the medicine, he came back and gave it to her. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Elsa, father and mother called just now. They said they wanted to see you. "

"What? I don't know. What did mom and dad say? " Elsa was afraid that they would worry about her as they heard that she was sick, so she sat up suddenly.

"Don't worry. Just lie down. Yesterday mom and dad called you several times, but you didn't answer them. I called them back when you were asleep today, saying that you had a cold and a fever. Mom and dad said that they wanted to come and live with us for a few days since they was free from school. I thought it would be a good idea. I wanted to go back home to see them, but I had no time to go back. Since they are free now, it's good for them to come over. When you are fully recovered, we can go shopping and wondering around with them."

Elsa nodded her head as she heard his sincere and considerate talks. "Thank you, Ren."

"Silly girl, you're welcome." Soren touched her forehead gently and said, "Father and mother will arrive tomorrow morning. Take good care of yourself and don't let them worry about you."

"Yes, I will have three bowls of rice later," Elsa said with a bright smile on her face.

After taking the medicine, Elsa closed her eyes again to take a nap. When the dinner was ready, Donna brought some food here. She didn't have much appetite but she still had a lot of food. Noticing that Soren had a lot of food and looked good, she lay down on the bed.

Since she had slept too much in the daytime, she felt a little sleepless. She sat idly and looked out of the window. It was getting dark. Only the street lights and people passing by were seen.

Elsa didn't expect that Johnny would come here. When she saw his figure, she was stunned. She reached out and held Soren's hand subconsciously and said, "My boss is here."

Soren looked up at Johnny. With a calm expression on his face, he nodded and said, "Is that editor Meng?"

"I... On behalf of the newspaper and the leaders, I came to see Elsa. Elsa, are you feeling better? " Johnny came over and said with embarrassment.

He clearly knew that a lot of things were in vain, but he still wanted to make the last effort.

Lowering her eyes, Elsa said, "Thank you for the concerns of all the leaders. I'm fine."

Soren nodded and said to Elsa in a low voice, "I'm going to get a cup of tea."

"Don't go." Holding his hand, Elsa didn't know why she had such an uneasy feeling. Actually, she did not have many thought over Johnny, but she couldn't be frank to face him. When she raised her head and saw the concern and trust in Soren's eyes, Elsa realized she was confused not because of Johnny, but because... It was because of Soren. She cared too much about what he thought, so she couldn't face it frankly.

"We've got a guest here. I'll make a cup of tea for him." Soren patted on the back of her hand to comfort her.

Elsa calmed down and smiled at him. "I also want to drink some water."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment." Every time he spoke, he would always unconsciously bend to her side, lest she needed to look up at him and get tired. He then straightened up and cleared his throat, "Editor Meng, please take your seat and excuse me for a moment."

Elsa finally calmed down and decided to be frank with Johnny. She looked at their relationship carefully this time. It was just like what she was faced with her former classmate. Although she was quiet, she was not that embarrassed. With one of his hands in his trouser pocket, Johnny looked handsome. Elsa said, "Editor Meng, please take a seat."

"I heard you had a heavy cold? If you need some time off, tell me and I'll ask for a leave from the news agency on your behalf. There is no need to worry about other things. For the time being, someone else can do it for you. "

"Thank you, editor Meng," Elsa said politely.

"Elsa..." Johnny's lips moved and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even utter a single word.

Elsa looked at him with a smile. Her eyes were full of the relief of everything and she was also clear that she did not care about what happened in the past. Because of all her indifference, Johnny's heart was broken.

Soren poured a cup of tea and a cup of water for them. He handed the cup of tea to Johnny and said, "Editor Meng, please have some tea."

Then he gave a cup of water to Elsa. "Have some water, my dear."

Just like the way a husband should treat his wife and the guests, Soren acted naturally and naturally. When he saw Elsa drink up the water, he took over the cup and put it on the table. He said to Johnny, "Editor Meng. I feel sorry if Elsa delayed the work. But illness is really out of our control. So if there are any inconvenience in the news agency, please forgive her."

"Sure, of course." Facing Soren's natural response, Johnny was very unnatural.

The more naturally Soren and Elsa behaved, the more unnatural he was. He didn't know when this feeling grew stronger and stronger. The tacit understanding between Soren and Elsa became more and more strong. He looked like an outsider. He knew that his final efforts should have ended with failure.

"Then... If there is nothing else, I will leave now. Take a good rest, Elsa. " When he said this, he was as polite as any leader.

"Thank you, editor in chief Meng. On behalf of me and Elsa, thank you and the other leaders for your concern." Soren walked him to the door.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that Fred was striding towards him. Johnny had once interviewed Fred. With a friendly smile, he greeted, "Hello, Mr. Wang."

He was amazed at what he was here for. Fred replied politely to Johnny and talk to the person behind him, "Ren!"

"Father," Soren said, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Hearing what they said, Johnny came to realize that Fred Wang and Soren Wang were the father and son. He heaved a deep sigh in his heart before he continued to move forward.

After strolling in, Fred Wang said, "I heard from Kohl that Elsa is sick, so I come here to have a look."

"Thank you for coming." Soren's polite words didn't sound agreeable to him. He couldn't bear to see how angry Fred was.

When Elsa saw Fred come in, she greeted him in a hurry, "Dad."

With an icy cold temper, he nodded his head and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. It's nothing serious. Thank you for coming to the hospital. " Seeing that Soren stood there with a serious look on his face, she felt a little sorry. She said in a low voice, "Ren, I want some water..."

When Soren stood up and walked out to get some water, Fred said seriously, "I was just passing by."

In fact, he came here specially to see Elsa to show his affection to his son. However, when he opened his mouth, everything changed.

Hearing 'passing by', Elsa didn't know what to say. She had to smile awkwardly. "Dad, please sit down."

"Okay." Fred responded solemnly. He then sat down. He was sitting with a serious manner like a leader. Elsa didn't know what to say. He didn't know whether he had realized it or not, but it would do no help to relax the tension with Soren. Elsa's mind wandered.
