Best novel online free at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net

After Eira had left, Hazel walked into the room again and found that Alex was still sleeping. Last night, Alex had tried so hard to resist the drug's effect and because of it, he had lost his energy. The moment he closed his eyes, Alex had drifted into sleep and only woke up in the middle of the night for a toilet break.

Hazel checked on the paper bag that Eira had handed her earlier and pulled out a fresh change of clothes. Then, she walked over to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out again, Alex had woken up and was looking at something on his phone.

The moment he heard her movement, Alex put the phone on the side table and stared at Hazel with a dazed expression. The end of her hair was still wet and her cheek was slightly reddened.

"You're awake." Hazel walked over and stretched her hand to touch his forehead. A breath of relief escaped her when she felt that his temperature was normal. "Are you hungry?" Hazel picked up the paper bag on the table. "Right. You haven't eaten anything since last night."

Her movement halted when Alex grabbed her wrist. Hazel tilted her head to one side and looked at him quizzically. "What's wrong?"

Alex let out a chuckle. "Why are you walking around? Sit down with me. Hazel Mo, I told you that I am not disabled." With a tug, Hazel fell with her head leaning on his chest. "I thought that you have returned to your dormitory by now. Don't you have to go to your class?"

"I won't leave you alone."

His gaze softened, knowing that his girlfriend was concern about him. However, he did not want her to worry about him because of her guilty conscience. Last night, Hazel had blamed herself for what had happened to him. "I am not a child." 

"I know you're not." 

"The doctor only wanted me to stay for an observation period. I am not injured."

"Alex," Hazel spoke his name softly.

"Hmm?"

"I hate the hospital."

Alex was surprised that Hazel had suddenly brought up this matter. Hazel had caught him off guard. For a while, he did not know how he should respond. 

Hazel lifted her head to look at him. When their gaze met, Alex could see a hint of sadness in her eyes. His heart ached upon seeing the expression on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Hazel took a deep breath before she spoke again, "Ever since I began to understand that dream, I began to dislike the hospital even more." Her nose started to sour and Hazel lowered her gaze again. "Alex, I was afraid that if I leave you alone, then, someone will come over when you're asleep. I am afraid that the same thing that happened to my parents will happen to you.

"It won't happen that way." Alex pulled the girl in his embrace and kissed the top of her head as if to coax her.

"I know." Hazel bit at her lips. "But I cannot help myself and think that way. Do you think I'm being silly?" She had already lost her parents in the hospital. Hazel was afraid that she might lose Alex the same way.

"Of course not. How is that silly? You're not silly at all." Hazel was worried that something might happen to him and chose to stay around to guard him. How was that silly? Alex thought that Hazel was too adorable. 

At least it does prove that Hazel loved and cared for him very much, right?

"If you don't like it here, then, I will ask the doctor to let me get discharged earlier, alright?"

Hazel sat up immediately. She stared at Alex with a serious look on her face. "No. The doctor said that the drugs might affect your body. You need to stay here under the doctor's observation."

Alex watched the girl in his embrace helplessly. Though he wanted to persuade her and return home earlier, Alex did not have the heart to speak anything when he saw her expression. He liked how she was worried about him. 

"Alright." His lips curled into a smile. "I will follow what you say."

Hazel was startled when she heard the pampering tone in his voice. She sat up quickly and slid down from his bed to take the container of food. "You should be hungry. Let's have some breakfast first. My friend brought some porridge. It will help you to pad your stomach."

As soon as she placed the container on the table, her hand was tugged again and this time, Alex leaned to capture her lips into a kiss. Feeling the kiss that she was familiar with, Hazel began to relax. The tension around her shoulders disappeared and Hazel began to reciprocate his kiss.

It was not known how long they have kissed, but everything around them seemed to disappear the moment their lips met. The two were unaware that someone had knocked on the door and entered the room.

That person's gaze darkened when the couple in front of him doesn't look like they were going to stop kissing anytime soon.

A loud cough reverberated in the room.

Once Hazel heard a familiar coughing voice, she pulled away from Alex and turned towards the sound. Her eyes widened when she saw that her uncle was standing there, looking at them with an unfathomable expression on his face. 

Her heartbeat stopped for mere seconds. 

This… who can tell her how did her uncle appear in B City?

Hazel scrambled to get off the bed. "Uncle! When did you get here?"

"Just now." Neil shifted his gaze from Alex to Hazel. The moment he looked at his niece, the coldness in his eyes suddenly disappeared. "I heard about what happened to you last night and decide to come over and settle a few things. How are you?"

He had taken the first flight to B City to visit his niece. Who would have thought that the moment he entered the room, he would catch the two of them kissing?

"I'm fine." Hazel did not dare to meet her uncle's gaze as she was too embarrassed. "It was Alex who had to suffer." 

Neil had already heard about the details from President Zhang before he headed to B City. He had heard that the boy had hold a grudge against his niece just because she had rejected him.

Fortunately, Alex was around and had protected his little girl. Though he was annoyed with Alex at this moment, Neil was grateful that Alex had stayed with Hazel.

"Uncle, how long will you stay? Should I help you book a place for you?" Hazel tried to shift his attention.

"No need. I will only stay for a few hours. I came over without letting your Auntie Edith know," Neil said. "Now that I see you safe and sound, I will head back to L City and catch the earliest flight." He walked over to his niece and patted her head gently. "Don't worry about that boy.. I will help you to solve this."
