Chapter 1194

“When will you come back to the hospital?”

But Debbie didn’t reply.

Ivan finished the soup, but Debbie still hadn’t shown up. Mason checked the time on his watch and

Looked at his daughter.

“Kasie, stop playing with your phone. Your mom and I need to head home now. Since Debbie isn’t here

yet, you stay and take care of Ivan until she comes.”

“Okay,” she nodded.

After the old couple left, Kasie and Ivan were left alone in the ward.

Awkward silence filled the air. Kasie smoothed her hair and tried to diffuse the tension.

“Ivan, do you need to get some sleep?”

Ivan shook his head and smiled at Kasie.

“No, I’ve had enough rest. I’m not sleepy yet. Could you please hand me a book from there?”

He pointed at the tiny bookshelf in the corner of the ward.

Angela’s Library

Kasie turned around, following his finger and then nodded, “Sure. Which book would you like to read?”

“Just pick one. I’m fine with anything.”

She picked up a novel at random, and handed it to him before she sat down on the chair next to his

A few minutes later, when Ivan took his eyes away from the book, he found Kasie in a motionless state.

He could hear her breathing steadily and he called out her name softly, but she didn’t respond.

“Is she sleeping?’ He lifted the quilt and got out of the bed to check up on her. Indeed, she had fallen

asleep.

Clenching his teeth in pain, he slowly walked to the hanger and took his coat. He carefully draped it

over her shoulders.

Kasie moved a little, as if she had felt the weight of coat on her shoulders. But she didn’t open her

eyes.

Staring at her blissful face, Ivan recalled the first time he had met this girl, even though admittedly, he

had only met her a couple of times. The first time was at Debbie’s concert and then the second time

was, oddly enough, at his wedding with Debbie
