Chapter 394 A sense of helplessness washed over Stella. âI have my own things to do, too. I canât even go to the bathroom if you insist on that.â
âDid I not let you go to the bathroom just now?â
Stella remained silent, She rubbed between her brows. âI want to get some water. Can you let me go, please?â
Weston refused.
She stood up, and he stood up along with her.
Thus, unable to hold it in any longer, Stella raised her voice. âYouâre still on a drip. If you move as you please, Iâll have to trouble the doctor to come and secure the needle again!â âHelp me push the drip. Iâll go with you to get some water.â Weston found it absolutely reasonable. Stella was speechless. âThe kitchen is right there. You can watch me pouring water for myself. Will I grow wings and fly out of this place?â Weston remained silent with pursed lips. His eyes widened as he considered telling her that he was indeed worried that someday, she would grow wings and fly out of this place, never to be seen again. Just like how she jumped off the building that day.
She fell off that tall building, just like that. If she really had wings, she would certainly choose to leave him. She would even be willing to dive down the deepest abyss if she didnât.
Weston did not want to see either situation happening.
Stella might not have realized it before, but she now keenly sensed how difficult it could be to please a man like Weston.
Now that he was sick, he seemed even more like the devil, sent from hell to torment her.
After she finally managed to get a cup of water from the kitchen, Weston dragged her back to the couch and locked her in his embrace.
He treated her just like a bolster, refusing to let her go. Stella did not find herself very small in stature.
Although skinny, her body was of a decent build and was definitely not akin to a child.
However, as she lay in Westonâs embrace, the disparity in size was stark. She felt like a doll, clamped tightly in place by one of his strong arms. He was capable of effortlessly holding her in place even while he was sick.
Stella had no choice but to stay by his side while on a drip. The night gradually fell silent.
Stella glanced at the clock and saw that it was getting late.
Yet, Weston became even more alert as the night went on.
She touched his forehead and felt grateful that his fever had gone down. Weston looked at her silently as his eyes reverted to their usual cold and distant look.
It was as if that whining man who was sticking to her previously was nothing but an illusion. Stella calmed down and looked into his eyes as she said calmly, âYour fever has gone down now. Iâll go back to my own room for a rest. Get Joanâs help to call for the doctor to remove the drip later...â Weston didnât respond.
A while later, he landed a kiss on her forehead.
âItâs been tough on you,â he said. Stella smiled. âIf you find it tough on me, please let me go back to my bed. Iâm rather tired.â She yawned. âJust sleep here,âWeston hugged her and made her lean in his embrace. Stella didnât want to. âI canât sleep well like this, and itâll just wear you out more.â âIt wonât,â
Weston said. âIâm never tired when I hug you.â
