FreeNovel“Well…” April tried hard to keep a straight face, finding Vania’s words amusing. That’s cute, Mrs. Luke.
Now, Hanson is a sleeping beauty to you. On the other hand, Hanson was desperate to know what was
on Vania’s mind upon hearing her question.
“Nope, I’m sure that he is not sleeping. If he was, he would have been awoken by Larry’s cries. Rest
assured, Mrs. Luke. Hanson is going to be fine.”
Vania nodded doubtfully, but when she recalled the way they treated her, she reminded April about her
identity to confirm her suspicion. “Is there any chance that you might have mistaken me for someone
else? I’m Vania, not Hanson’s wife, Melanie.” Worried that Hanson might not have made it clear to April
about her identity, Vania found it a little strange to be addressed as Mrs. Luke. She was not Hanson’s
wife, after all.
“There is no way I would mistake you for someone else. You were the one who was caught in an
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccident earlier and hospitalized after that, weren’t you?” April was confident that he would not mistake
Vania for someone else.
Vania nodded in response. “Well, you’re right. That was me indeed.” She then recalled a man who was
looking at her strangely when he was patrolling the wards last time, realizing April to be that man in
hindsight.
“I knew I was right. I’ve been hanging around with Hanson for so long and have not noticed any lady
who’s close to him besides you. As such, there is no way I’m wrong about that.”
Soon, Vania curiously asked, “Are you close friends with Hanson?” Judging from the way he addresses
Hanson, I’m sure they know each other.
“Of course. We’ve known each other since we were children.”
Childhood friends, huh? That sounds close enough to me. Has he not seen Melanie before? She is the
mother of Hanson’s children, so why does this guy still keep calling me Mrs. Luke?
“In that case, you should know that I’m not Mrs. Luke.” Vania corrected April.
However, April didn’t seem to care about that. “Well, Hanson doesn’t think that way, so you are Mrs.
Luke.”
Hanson doesn’t think that way? Since when? At that moment, Vania had no idea how else she could
explain the confusion, so she decided to give up the debate and told the man to do as she said. “Fine,
just stop calling me Mrs. Luke, alright? I’m not her.”
“Uh…” Just as April was about to say something, he suddenly heard Hanson’s coughing, which
interrupted his conversation with Vania. As soon as both of them heard that, Vania immediately got
closer to check on Hanson and asked, “Hanson? Can you hear me?”
Hanson weakly blinked, showing signs that he was about to ‘wake up’. Thus, Vania quickly called out to
April. “Come here, doctor. It looks like he is showing some response.”
Oh, come on! He’s been awake all the time, lady. April complained to himself deep down, but even so,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe was bound by his professionalism as a doctor to pretend to check on the patient with his
stethoscope. “You’re right, Mrs. Luke. It does look like he is waking up.”
Mrs. Luke? Not again! Fine, he won’t understand it either anyway. What matters now is that Hanson
comes around. Vania looked forward to what would unfold the next moment, but Hanson didn’t seem to
respond any further after that cough, and it seemed like a mere hallucination.
Not knowing what Hanson was up to, April was forced to bring up the subject he was talking with Vania
about. “Why don’t you try talking to him again, Mrs. Luke? Perhaps he’ll respond to that.”
Vania looked at Hanson in confusion, feeling helpless about the sequence of events that had transpired
that day. As such, she blurted out a silly question without thinking it through, asking, “What do you want
me to do? Read him a passage from the textbook?” After all, she had no idea what she could say to
Hanson at that moment.
Upon hearing the lady’s response, April was rendered speechless as he couldn’t relate to the way
Vania perceived the situation. After all, it was his first time hearing someone talking to a patient about a
passage from the textbook throughout his medical career.
