FreeNovelA slightly nervous April was scratching his head while he wondered what he could do to keep Hanson’s
plan going.
In the meantime, Hanson seemed unconcerned about that, for he didn’t mind whatever Vania would tell
him. After all, every word from her sounded like music to his ears, especially when her voice was filled
with worry. In fact, it always tickled his fantasy.
When April didn’t respond, Vania thought he had agreed to it, so she cleared her throat and acted as if
she knew what to do. “Alright, here I go.”
“Wait, Mrs. Luke. Perhaps you could start by telling him a bit about your life; that would be more
conducive to waking the patient up.” Deep down, he didn’t think that Hanson would love to hear Vania
memorize the passage from a textbook. Then, he pointed at the door and added, “Perhaps I should
excuse myself to give you a little privacy for your little conversation. Ring the bell when Hanson comes
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaround, but for now, I shall leave him in your care.”
“Hey, don’t go yet…” Before Vania could finish her words, April quickly scurried out of the place,
refusing to be the third wheel in the ward.
Vania sighed, thinking she had no conversation to make with Hanson, but deep down, she couldn’t help
but wonder what Larry and April were up to, judging from their fishy behaviors. Why does something
not feel right here? Vania doubted what was going on but decided not to dwell too much on it,
considering the circumstances she was under.
Thus, she helplessly shook her head and sat down beside Hanson’s bed, gazing at the man whose
eyes were closed while wondering what she should say. What am I going to do now? Cry pitifully as
Larry did earlier? Despite her doubts, she was still worried about Hanson’s condition, so she could only
sigh helplessly.
Meanwhile, Hanson was happy with Larry and April, thinking they were sensible enough to leave him
alone with Vania. While the ward was now left with him and Vania in it, the lady tucked the man in, but
her reaction didn’t seem to make the man feel happy. Can’t you talk about something? Why do you
have to tuck me in with the blanket? It’s hot being wrapped in this thing.
Nonetheless, the man could only endure the lady’s words as he listened to the lady speaking in a
concerned manner. “Wake up, Hanson. The kids and I were shocked when we learned about your
condition, but I’m happy to know that you’re going to be fine. So, please wake up and put our minds to
ease.”
However, it was only after she said those words that she realized they didn’t sound appropriate; they
made her feel as if she and her children were his family, but the next second, she was grateful that the
unconscious man couldn’t hear what she had just said.
Nevertheless, little did the lady know that Hanson heard every single word that came out of her mouth
just now as he felt very delighted deep down. After all, he didn’t expect Vania and her children, in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmparticular, to worry about him so much. Therefore, he couldn’t help but think that his plan of pretending
to be sick was all worth it.
In the meantime, Vania continued to urge Hanson to wake up and tell him how everybody else was
worried about him when he didn’t show any response. A few moments later, Hanson started to respond
a little by twitching his eyelids, whereupon Vania excitedly leaned closer and called out to him.
“Hanson, it’s me, Vania. I’m right here, so open your eyes.”
While Vania gazed at Hanson’s face with a worried yet hopeful look, the man’s eyelids twitched once
again shortly before his eyes opened. At that moment, the first thing that came to sight was Vania’s
face with her concerned yet surprised expression on it. Meanwhile, Vania smiled brightly when she saw
Hanson waking up. “You…”
However, before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled toward Hanson’s embrace by his
powerful grip as the man wrapped his arms around her so tightly that she could barely breathe. While
the lady tried to struggle and free herself, Hanson loosened his grip around her so that he wouldn’t
suffocate her, but he showed no signs of letting go. Then, he implored her to stay with him. “Don’t
move. Please just let me hug you.”
