If you can glare at us, why arenât you glaring at Nina?
Youâre only mean to us.
Nicole was surprised to find out that Stephen had donated a lot of blood to her.
âYou have donated your blood to me? Thank you.â
âDonât worry about it. Thatâs what I should do.â
Iâm just fulfilling my responsibility as your father.
His words sounded ear-piercing to Evan. A man is donating blood to a woman without batting an eye about it.
Then he says itâs something he should do. I refuse to believe that heâs something else in mind.
âThatâs right. He gave you his blood. Iâll find a way to return the favor. Donât worry.â
Stephen could hear what Evan was implying.
He turned to give him a small smile. âI donât need anything in return. I just want to make sure sheâs safe and sound.â
This is what Rosalie would want too.
Evan still felt uncomfortable with Stephenâs words.
Once again, he tried to evict the other man.
âIâll take good care of my wife. Please bring these gifts back.â
Stephen sensed Evan did not welcome him, but he thought it was because Nicole had just woken up, and he was worried.
Thatâs right. Sheâs still weak. She has to rest well.
âIâll take my leave then.â After reminding Nicole to rest well, Stephen turned to leave.
Before he stepped out of the room, he assigned four bodyguards to guard the room secretly and protect Nicole.
Nicole gazed at Evan, who had a scowl on his face. âDo you have something against Sir Musgrave?â
Evan looked back at her, but he was silent.
âWhy were you acting in that way to him? He donated blood to me. You should thank him instead.â
Thank him?
âThis is my friendliest attitude for him.â
A tinge of silent distress was hidden in his voice.
Heâs trying to please my wife in broad daylight, and it is clear that heâs interested in her.
If not for him donating her his blood, I wouldnât even let him take a step into the room.
I can love and dote on my woman. I donât need any other men to do this for her.
For a moment, Nicole thought she could smell the scent of jealousy in the air.
It amused her. Is he jealous? It canât be.
She saw Stephen as an elderly, and she was sure the man saw her as someone like his daughter.
Heâs concerned about this kind of care too?
Nicole pursed her lips before closing her eyes, ignoring him.
Meanwhile, there was only one thought in Evanâs mind; he hoped Nicole would recover soon so they could leave K Nation.
While she was recovering, he planned to settle the scores with the person who hurt Nicole.
The next day.
When Nicole opened her eyes, Evan asked her what she would like to eat.
When she realized the absence of the gifts Stephen had brought over yesterday, she wondered if Evan had tossed them away.
When did the items infuriate you? What a waste.
After thinking for several seconds, she impatiently replied, âAnythingâs fine.â She craved for nothing in particular anyway.
When Evan saw her eyes sweeping across the room, he instantly knew what she was looking for.
He had not thrown away Stephenâs gifts. He only asked someone to deal with it.
After all, those had to be cooked before they could be consumed. Cooking them in the hospital would be very inconvenient, so he had sent his trusted subordinate to take them away for cooking before sending them back.
But he was not very happy with Nicole
âs attitude.
So sheâs not interested in eating because she doesnât see any signs of Sir Musgraveâs gift?
After standing still for a while, he turned to say to John, âGo. Buy âanythingâ for her to eat.â
âHuh?â
John could not believe what he heard that he thought he got it wrong.
He stared at Evan with wide eyes. âMr. Seet, what did you just ask me to buy?â
âBuy âanythingâ!â Evan repeated loudly.
At that, he turned back to Nicole. âWhen he comes back with âanythingâ, youâll eat it.â
Nicole glared at him as rage took over every cell in her body. She felt the urge to scream. Whereâs the butcherâs knife Where is it?
At their silent confrontation, John just stood still and looked puzzled.
