“Oh. No, there wasn’t. Since this morning, no one has come to visit you,” the nurse replied. However, she felt dubious as she wondered why Richard had been here for most of the day, but asked her not to tell Angela that he had been here when he left.
Angela’s eyes turned downcast. He hadn’t been here either? It made sense. Now that she asked him to avoid her, he would definitely not come to see her again.
She swallowed the bitter medicine only wanting to get better soon so that she could return to the city, back to her warm house, and stay with her parents.
The fact that Angela was sick had also reached Ariel’s ears, and she was ecstatic at the news. Angela must be badly hurt. She also heard that Richard was not at the base either, and this made her wonder. Did she succeed in breaking them up?
In the evening, Trevor and Jared came to visit Angela and brought her an iPad. They taught her how to play games and cheered her up in various ways, but they
didn’t mention Richard. Though Angela happily accepted their concern, there was a question she kept thinking about. However, even as they were leaving, she wasn’t able to say anything.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Angela’s fever had completely subsided. Her whole body felt weak and sore. This fever had really taken years off her life, and she was completely exhausted.
“I want to take a shower. I’m covered in sweat,” Angela requested.
“You can go to Mr. Richard’s room. He isn’t here now,” Trevor said.
Angela’s breathing suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Trevor, blurting out, “He left?”
Trevor smiled hurriedly. “Mr. Richard has some other work, and he may be gone for a week or two. Miss Angela, we will take care of you in the meantime. After you’re completely safe from danger, we’ll take you home.”
Angela’s heart suddenly twinged again, as if a big palm was grasping her beating heart, and she only felt a surge of pain every time her heart pulsed.
“Miss Angela, are you all right?”
“I’m fine.” Angela closed her eyes, attempting to relieve the pain in her heart and comfort herself.
This is only right! Didn’t I want him to leave me? It was a good thing that they wouldn’t talk to each other anymore. Only when the ties between them were completely severed would things return to normal.
“Miss Angela, do you want to lie down for a while?” Upon seeing her pale face and her red lips bitten tightly in her mouth, as if she was about to faint at any time, Trevor felt extremely worried.
“When he left, did he say anything?” Angela turned her head and asked.
“No. Mr. Richard just asked us to take care of you, and he might not return to take you back.” After Trevor finished speaking. he looked away a little guiltily as Richard was the one who said these things to them and told them not to mention him to Angela as much as they could.
As for where he went, Trevor didn’t know either, but he knew that the boss had no jobs on hand, and he probably left to distract himself.
“Really?” Angela pursed her lips bitterly as she recalled Richard’s words from two days ago. He had told her that as long as she didn’t want to see him, he would never appear in front of her.
So, he’s trying to keep his words? Angela’s eyes suddenly stung, and she blinked quickly; she didn’t want to cry in front of Trevor. Getting up, she said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Angela returned to her room and took a change of clothes before she went to Richard’s room. The entire room was clean and tidy, and even the bed was flat and seamless.
Clearly, this man had not slept here in the past two days. Has he really disappeared? Angela’s tears suddenly fell. She wiped her tears embarrassedly and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
