You're The Best Medicine For Me

“I do not wish for this morning’s incident to happen again.” Shirley abruptly cut him off when Bryan was about to bring up the incident today, and her face had grown even more sullen than before.

Bryan’s brows had trembled slightly at her curt statement as he asked, “What if they have come to me on their own?”

“That’s impossible!” Shirley frowned angrily at him as she glared ferociously at the man before her eyes, but when it had occurred to her that sometimes things would be beyond her control, she promptly added, “If they have come to find you again, you need to give me a call ASAP, and do not bring them to those kinds of playground especially when it’s during their school session. If you have aroused their playfulness and excite them, they won’t feel like going back to the kindergarten anymore.”

As soon as she had finished her sentences, she turned around and pulled the chair that was beside her up to the foot of the bed. After taking a seat, she closed her eyes to get some rest while leaning against the back of the chair.

Bryan raised his head and shot his gaze towards her to perceive that she had put her arms around her waist while tilting her body against the chair. His brows were unconsciously knitted when he had taken in her uncomfortable state as he asked, “What are you doing there?’

Shirley replied without opening her eyes, “I want to have some rest as I’m exhausted. Call me if you’re not feeling well.”

She slightly lowered her head on purpose so that her hair could block out the dim light in the ward as she could not get used to sleeping with the lights on.

She had always slept with her children when she was at home, and since sleeping with the lights on was bad for their physical development as it would induce precocious puberty, she had been sleeping with the lights off most of the time.

Bryan promptly took out his phone and sent a message to Jordan after hearing her reply.

The door was suddenly pushed open when two minutes had not even passed by, and the stir had jolted Shirley whom was almost dozing off awake.

She turned her head and looked behind her only to perceive that two nurses had walked into the ward to move the two bedside tables out of the room, and they had returned with a bed shortly after as they placed it side by side with Bryan’s bed.

She watched on from the beginning to the end of the move while being in a daze, and when the bed had finally been arranged in place, she stared at him and asked, “What’re you up to now? Is one bed not enough for you to roll on even when you have been injured like this, so you need two beds now?”

“This is for you to sleep on!”

“What!” Shirley was instantly stupefied by his reply, and she quickly shot her gaze towards the bed which had been put together with his.

The size of the bed was the same as the hospital bed that he had been lying on which was around 1.2 meters, and two pillows were placed on it while a blanket had been spread across it in a clean and tidy manner.

The area of the room was around fifty square feet, so it was actually still spacious enough even after two beds had been placed in the room. However, what had come as a surprise to Shirley was the fact that Bryan had created such a ruckus just to let her sleep on a bed instead of in a chair.

Bryan looked away and said awkwardly, “I just don’t want to see you passing out on the ground the next day again. You can’t stay too far from me as I will find it hard to fall asleep, so you should sleep beside me.”

He did not want to go through the trouble of having to account for Shirley’s relapse of her heart condition in front of the two children the next time he met them.
