Chapter 6
“Hello, young man I’m Dr. Patrick Waller What’s your relationship with the patient?”
After checking out the data on the monitoring equipment, Patrick appeared surprised. It was clear he didn’t know about Yarrick being married to Halley.
“Er.. we’re husband and wife.”
“oh, I see. You’re Yarrick Sutton, aren’t you?
“Yeah.” Yarrick nodded while scratching the back of his head awkwardly. It seemed his reputation preceded him. Could it be that the entire hospital staff already knew his name?
“Alright, young man. You should continue talking to her. If you have free time in the future, try to come visit her and talk to her more. It’ll greatly help her recovery.
“Of course. Look at her heartbeat. It’s noticeably stronger than before. I honestly didn’t expect finding her a young husband to have such an effect on her
The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice as though Patrick was muttering to himself.
“Anyway, call me if you need anything. Remember to talk to the patient more.
“Alright. I understand, Dr. Waller Yarrick also hadn’t expected his cambling to actually have an effect on Hailey. Since that was the case, he would continue talking away.
If he could save a life, he’d eam good karma for himself–especially since the person in question was his wife.
Besides, if Hailey held on for three months, he would receive another two million dollars. For the sake of that two million, he would talk as much as necessary!
Once Patrick and the nurse left, Yarrick continued to talk to Hailey.
Time passed by, and before Varrick knew it, it was already 12:30 pm.
By this point, calling Halley “honey” was already coming naturally to him, and he didn’t feel the slightest but awloward when using the term of endearment. Anyone who didn’t know would assume the two had been married for years!
“Honey, you rest well and recover. I need to head back to the campus for now, but I’ll come back later, okay? I’ll take your silence as a yes. Anyway, I’m leaving now. See you later!”
With one last squeese of Hailey’s hand, Varrick stood up to leave.
“Huh?”
Yarrick was very sure he had seen her fingers moving again! It was as though she wanted to grab something.
“Honey_. You want me to hold your hand, don’t you? With that realization, Yarrick swiftly sat back down again and grabbed her hand.
“Are you hungry? I’m actually feeling a little peckish myself….. Once you wake up, tell me what you want to eat, okay? I’ll go buy it for you. And once you’re fully recovered from this illness, I can cook for you. I’m really not lying when I say I have great cooking skills, I promise you three full meals a day!”
Zarrick gently rubbed Hailey’s hand as he spoke. Such words came to him naturally now. “Olay, honey, I have to leave to eat now. I’ll try and come here again as
After staying for several minutes longer, Yarrick released Hailey’s hand and exited the room.
Upon leaving the hospital, Yamick found a random roadside stall to settle his lunch before taking the bus back to his campus. Perhaps it was due to him talking to Hailey too much, but all he could think about now was her
The only season he dared talk to her like that was because she was unconscious, so it felt more like he was talking to himself, it was rather interesting to be addressing someone with such an affectionate term of endearment as “honey“.
However, if she truly woke up.
Yarrick knew himself well enough to know he would feel too embarrassed to call her that. As for flirting? That was even more out of the question
An hour later, Yarrick finally returned to his dorm. He had only just entered the room when Michael came over. “How illd it go, Yanick? Did you get the job?”
Pausing briefly, Michael snitted the air before asiding, “Why do you smell like the disinfectant used in hospitals?”
“I got the job. Thanks so much, Michael.” Yarrick nodded and patted Michael’s shoulder as he expressed his gratitude.
“Tak, this is nothing!
“As for why I smell like disinfectant, I went to visit a friend in the hospital.”
Naturally, Yarrick wouldn’t elaborate on what sort of friend he had visited, nor would he share that he was already married.
“Yarrick, you look dashing in this sult!”
“Right? I deliberately spent a hefty sum to buy this for my job interviews.”
“Holy cow! This ult must cost at least ten grand, right?”
“What?” Yarrick knew nothing about suit brands as he had never had any particularly decent clothes all these years. Hence, when Selena gave him this suit, he had no idea how much it was worth. All he knew was that it is him quite well and was made of rather good quality material.
“No way! Do I look like someone who can afford such expensive clothing? It’s a take….”
Chapter 6
“Oh… You really shocked me for a second there!”
Seeing that Michael was convinced, Yarrick couldn’t help but laugh along with the “Joke“..
Since Yamrick had been out, he decided to take a shower and rest for a bit. He had promised Hailey he would visit her again later, so he certainly couldn’t go back on his word.
Two minutes after he sprawled on his bed, his phone started ringing. Upon checking the screen, he saw that it was Selena.
Not wanting his roommates to overhear the conversation, he swiftly got out of bed and put on his shoes. Then, he hurried out of the room.
“Hi, Selena. Do you need something?”
“Yarrick, did you visit Hails earlier?
“I did. Dr. Waller says we have to talk to her more as that helps with her recovery.
“Yes, that’s right. I really have to thank you, Yarrick. Try to spend more time with Halls if you can, okay? I can pay for some of the expenses.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll try to visit her more often. I’m about to graduate anyway, so I have some free time on my hands,”
Money was indeed important to Yarrick, but he wasn’t blinded by greed. He would get his money through honorable means. Besides, he had an agreement with Selena that if Hailey were to survive past three months, she would pay him another two million dollars!
He couldn’t deny that was part of the reason he was willing to visit and talk to Hailey.
“Alright! Thank you, Yarrick I’ll definitely make this worth your time. This younger sister of mine has never been married before, so I hope that you more time with her during her last moments. Think of it as me begging you for a favor.” “Selena… Don’t worry, I will ”
spend
Even if this was a business transaction, there was no changing the fact that Hailey was his wife now. Hence, he would definitely spend more time with her no matter what. His conscience wouldn’t let him do otherwise.
