Their drinking ends with Thomas falling asleep. On the way back, it's quiet in the car, and only the
occasional breathing sound of Thomas on the copilot seat can be heard.
The smell of alcohol lingers between them, and the atmosphere in the airtight car suddenly becomes
somewhat oppressive. Ryan lowers the car window on his side and only opens a crack, allowing the
cool night breeze outside to blow in.
He shouldn't drink and drive, but with such feelings today, he doesn't want to hire a designated driver.
To be more precise, he doesn't want any outsiders to disturb his rare mental balance.
Although Thomas is only an eighteen-year-old boy, Ryan does feel relieved for a moment after talking
with Thomas.
He can't wait to reveal his relationship with Eunice to the public. Even if it isn't allowed now, it is good to
be able to tell her beloved younger brother.
Fortunately, Thomas doesn't blame him.
Ryan drives back to the hospital. Before getting off the car, he wakes Thomas up. Thomas has
obviously been dazed with sleep, and he has been very obedient during the entire process. Ryan asks
him to get off the car and enter the elevator and he does what Ryan told him. He really saves Ryan a
lot of worries.
In the end, Ryan arranges for him to stay in a room next to the ward. He has never taken care of
anyone in his more than thirty years of life, and he has only given his tenderness to Lily and Adair.
Now, it is a little difficult for him to take care of a boy.
Seeing Thomas lying on the bed, Ryan only pulls the quilt over and covers it for him before leaving the
room.
Ryan has to return to the company tonight. Due to the time difference, there are still meetings abroad.
When he passes by Eunice's ward, he subconsciously stops and looks inside through the window of
the door. He doesn't expect Lorraine to be absent.
There is only a tiny figure on the bed in the empty ward. He frowns and controls his strength to gently
push the door open. Even though he knows that she is in a coma, he still subconsciously doesn't want
to make noise, afraid that he will wake her up.
There is no light on in the ward. Only the display screen at the bedside is on. Under this faint light,
Ryan sits on a folding chair beside the bed, his eyes filled with the weak face.
Recently, he rarely stares at her so carefully. Now he feels heartbroken looking at her like this. She
seems to have become even weaker. Her pale face seems to be about to become transparent and
lifeless.
This Eunice is completely different from the Eunice he first met. She should never have been like this.
Half of Ryan's face is hidden in the darkness, and his face becomes even more heroic under the light
and shadow. A person who is so spirited in the daytime sits down beside the hospital bed at night,
away from the fame and wealth, revealing a sense of loneliness.
Perhaps because it is too late, or it is too quiet, a question appears in his mind uncontrollably...
If he hadn't met Eunice at that time, what would he be like?
He might leave City J and return to England. He would do the same thing in his territory as before. He
probably wouldn't have the mood to start a relationship.
He had always been disdainful of love until he met Lily. Unfortunately, Lily already had a man she
loved. He had never obtained her before, so he had never lost her. He just felt empty.
It was as if a hole had been dug in the bottom of his heart, and the cold wind whistled through the hole.
At such a time, he met Eunice. At the airport, at the bar, at the door where she blocked the bullets for
him.... Everything was so perfect and inconceivable, filling up the empty space in his heart.
Love is something that can be found only by accident, not through search. Ryan has never thought that
he will encounter it, but this is reality.
If Eunice wakes up, what will he say and do?
Actually, Ryan doesn't have any ideas at all. He even deliberately avoids thinking about it. What he can
be sure of is that he will never let her leave again.
Whether it's City J or England.
The night outside the window quietly engulfs all the scenery of the day. It is extremely quiet and the
moon rises up. His surging emotions become even more evident.
Ryan gently closes his eyes and restrains himself. When he opens his eyes, he bends over and kisses
Eunice's dried lips.
"Good night."
What he can't see is that Eunice's index finger with the clip suddenly moves.
...
Half a month later, Lily has recovered. In fact, she was discharged from the hospital on the third day.
After the examination, Karl told her that she could have a rest cure and there was no need for her to be
hospitalized.
After returning home, she originally wanted to get busy with the flower shop early. After all, she had
already planned with Bennett, but every time there were things for her to handle. She felt embarrassed.
In this way, her business partner might have a complaint.
Lily wanted to go to the flower shop the second week, but when she got up in the morning and was
about to leave, she was stopped by Rex.
"Where are you going?"
Lily was somewhat puzzled by his question. "To the flower shop."
"You can't."
Lily was confused.
Rex blurted out, "You're not well yet."
Lily looked at the man standing in front of her wearing a tie personally. She gritted her teeth and tried
not to lose her temper. "I'm fine. Karl also said that a week of rest is enough."
"He said you'd better rest at least a week. Just to be on the safe side, you should rest at least two
weeks."
Lily was speechless for a moment. She knew that he cared about her, but she couldn't help but feel a
little annoyed. "You don't let me go to work, but you go to work. I'm so bored at home."
"I'll be back after the board meeting. I can accompany you to do whatever you want."
Lily had nothing to say.
She was completely defeated.
Therefore, another week later, Lily thinks that she can finally go out, but because she caught a slight
cold in the bath the night before, she is once again stopped at home by Rex very unreasonably.
She hasn't gone out for nearly half a month, so Lily can't bear it anymore. She bursts out and calls him
by his name, "Rex Gabbot, what do you want?"
The man sitting in the dining room drinking coffee says leisurely, "You're not well yet."
"I'm in good health! GOOD. Do you understand?"
Facing her anger, Rex chooses to turn a blind eye. "You have a cold."
Hearing this funny answer, she feels speechless. "But this can't stop me from going out."
"No means no. You must be at home today. You can go out tomorrow when you get better." As Rex
speaks, he stands up and prepares to walk into the living room.
Lily looks at the unreasonable Rex. She doesn't resist nor answer back. She just goes upstairs. When
she comes down again, she is in her clothes that she wears to go out.
Rex is originally looking through the reports that have been sent over today, but when he hears the
heavy and angry sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, he raises his head and immediately frowns
in displeasure.
