Chapter 171 The Gatecrasher
The next moment, Hanson’s voice surprisingly made Vania stop struggling as if it was enchanted with a magical spell. While it was his first hug with Vania, it was also his first time wanting to hug a lady. In that instant, the adrenaline rush of excitement and euphoria filled his body as he refused to let go of her.
In the meantime, Vania was starting to feel a little dizzy in the man’s tight embrace without noticing his suspicious reaction after he came to his senses. After all, if she had paid attention to those details, she would have realized a patient, who just came around as Hanson did, shouldn’t have the strength to hug someone so tightly. As she leaned against Hanson’s chest, she could feel his steady heartbeat, which somehow reminded her of the incident that night five years ago. At the thought of that, her face blushed as she squirmed to free herself. “Let me go. I don’t want anyone to see us like this.”
Nonetheless, Hanson only chuckled and whispered in Vania’s ear in a slightly high-pitched voice, saying, “There is no one else here besides the two of us. Who is it that you’re worried is going to see us hugging each other, huh?”
As the man’s mischievous voice reverberated in Vania’s ear, she started to feel Hanson’s body getting warmer. However, she decided to resist him gently due to his condition. “Please, stop. Let’s keep this civil.”
However, Hanson smiled even wider and teased her even more. “Stop? Like this?” He tightened his arms around her, forcing her to rest on his chest.
“Stop testing my patience and let me go!” Vania angrily warned the man who eventually let go of her in a reluctant manner after he heard her intimidating reply.
With a pair of blushed cheeks, Vania glared at Hanson irritably before she looked away and ignored the man whom she thought was trying to take advantage of her. If it hadn’t been for his condition, I would have let my fist do the talking and taught him a lesson.
Nevertheless, Hanson extended his arm and helped comb Vania’s hair beside her ear with his hand. “Relax, you and I should just be ourselves in front of each other.” After all, he reckoned that Vania was going to be his woman sooner or later.
After Vania heard Hanson’s words, her face blushed once again just as she refused to continue their endless debate. “Now that you’re up, I should call the doctor.” She stood up and was about to walk away, but Hanson quickly seized her hand and pulled her back to him. As soon as he touched her hand, her skin felt as soft as he had imagined earlier. Gosh! This is a wish come true!
However, Hanson quickly restrained himself from pressing on with his mischief, fearing that he would irk her. Therefore, he said, “Don’t go. Please stay with me.”
In that instant, Vania felt as if she had heard a loud boom in her head, retracting her arm from Hanson’s grip in a panicky manner with a pair of blushed cheeks. On the other hand, Hanson was overwhelmed by a rush of excitement and thrill when he set his eyes on Vania’s beautiful looks.
Tempted to take things between them further, Hanson tried to reach for Vania’s hand once again, but before he could do so, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, which was followed by the sound of someone opening it.
The next moment, Hanson’s face was replaced with a glacial look just as the warm atmosphere within the ward was filled with a cold and indifferent aura. Deep down, he wanted to see who had the guts to ruin his private moment with Vania, wondering which of his subordinates was so daring to enter the ward without his permission. It looks like I’m going to teach this person how to obey my rules. Then, he reluctantly retracted his arm and set his eyes on the door in a menacing manner.
At the same time, Vania was also curiously looking at the door, knowing the visitor was definitely not Larry or April since they would have come in without knocking. Who’s here to visit at this hour? Is it Melanie? While the two of them continued to wonder who would show up, the person who came into view upon opening the door turned out to be Bella, much to the duo’s surprise.
