Chapter 22 (2)

“Are you really dizzy? Why are you so calm?” I touched Albert’s forehead with the back of my hand. But his temperature was normal.

“Stop touching me.” He brushed my hand away in irritation.

“Why are you so grumpy? Did you take the wrong meds?” I tried to joke, even though I saw the seriousness in his face, a face I only just realized was really handsome now that we were close. No wonder so many women were crazy about him.

Albert exhaled sharply. Then suddenly, his hazel eyes looked deeply into mine.

“Joy, why do my feelings?” he whispered.

και neveP.

“W–what do you mean?” I started to guess where this conversation was heading.

Albert sighed again, longer this time. He looked away for a moment, then locked his eyes with mine. Our gaze was locked. I couldn’t look away from those beautiful hazel eyes.

“Joy, I’ve sworn not to lose the love of my life a second time.”

Albert took my hands and held them. His eyes looked deeply into mine, and I felt an unusual flutter.

“I’ve never stopped loving you since then. I never will… not ever.”

I was shocked. It was so unexpected to get a confession from a guy who had been my friend since high school.

We’stared at each other for a long time. I didn’t care if Joshua, who was driving, might hear our conversation.

“W–what do you mean?” I asked, confused.

“Marry me!”

‘Oh my God. What did I dream about last night? In one day, two men asked me to marry them. Don’t they know my wounds are still fresh and open? Don’t they know my heart is still closed tightly?”

1 quickly pulled my hands away from Albert’s “Sorry, Albert. It’s too soon to talk about marriage,” I replied firmly.

“I’ll patiently wait for your answer,” he whispered again, smiling. That smile of his could sweep women off their feet.

were We both felt awkward, so we silent during the trip to the hospital. W were lost in our own thoughts.

When the car entered the area of a private hospital not far from the office, Albert got out first and opened the door for me. Why did he suddenly seem. healthier? His face was smiling again like usual.

“Hmm… you’re starting to charm girls again,” I muttered as Albert smiled at the female patients and nurses who shyly glanced at him longingly.

“It looks like you’re already better. Let’s just go home,” I joked when we were in the waiting room.

“Wow, someone sounds jealous,” Albert teased, smiling mischievously at me.

I glared at him. Albert burst out laughing, holding his stomach.

Wow, he really did seem to be feeling better.

“Mr. Albert Williams! Please come to the doctor’s room,” a nurse called out.

We then walked into the room the nurse had indicated.

“Good afternoon, sir. What seems to be the problem?” the young, pretty doctor asked kindly.

“For the past few days, I’ve been having headaches and a fever, doc.”

“Alright, let me examine you. Please lie down, sir.”

Albert followed the pretty doctor’s instructions while I stayed seated in the patient chair in front of the doctor’s desk.

After examining him, Albert sat down beside me, facing Dr. Camille.

“Mr. Williams just needs some rest. I’ll prescribe some vitamins. Please make sure he doesn’t stress too much,” Dr. Camille said, looking at me.

“Thank you, doctor Albert interrupted then walked out through the hospital corridor and passed severa, „dnics with them patients I glanced at my watch, it was already hajaamoon, I should head straight home after dropping Albert off at this place As we passed one of the clinics, there were several female patients and preghan women.
