Leila had no choice but to turn around and continue to apply medicine to the wound. Max's face was all tight, perhaps because of anger or pain, and Leila had to be more careful
After applying the medicine, Max suddenly held Leila's hand and said, "I want to have a good talk with you!"
Seeing this, Charles held her hands to stop her from leaving. "You can't take her away, Max. She is very weak now and needs a good rest."
Max ignored Charles's gaze and had been staring at Leila. Leila looked at him and nodded slightly. Charles held her hand and didn't have the heart to let her go. "Leila, haven't you been hurt enough?"
"Why did you stop Leila since she had agreed?" said Max, glaring at Charles
Giving a soothing look to Charles, Leila went out with Max and they stood on the grass in the sunshine.
"Are you tired? Sit down over there." said Max, looking at Leila with deep affection
Leila turned around and walked to the bench, but Max held her hand. Looking at the man's back, Leila was in a trance, as if she hadn't felt that way for a long time. She looked at the tall back of the man until Max turned around and met Leila's familiar eyes. He was frozen for a moment. With an awkward look, Leila lowered her head and sat down in a chair, Max sat down beside her, looked at her belly and said, "tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Leila nodded, happily putting her hands on her belly.
Looking far away in a trance, Max was silent for a while before she said slowly, "did he take good care of you?"
"What do you mean by asking Charles to take good care of me?"
The two of them fought against each other and Max saying such a sentence. Now Leila only wanted to know if Max had known something back then, so she told Charles like that. She ignored the man's question and asked out her thoughts.
"Hospital for the second time," said Max, looking sideways at Leila beside her, with a wry smile on his face
Leila was frightened and screamed when she thought of the scene that Charles stayed with her in the yard. It was Charles who rushed into the house at the first time and also he sent Max to the hospital. So there must be something between them at that moment.
"What did you say to him?"
Leila was not only curious, but also wanted to know if Max would worry about her at the critical moment. She turned her face to look at the man seriously.
"I asked him to take good care of you. Did he do that?" said Max, with a light smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Leila's misfortune after he fell down
Leila stared at Max in surprise. His face was so delicate and outstanding carved with knife, but he looked much thinner than before. She still remembered how those people treated her before. It seemed that they wanted to put her into a desperate situation, and they didn't
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
reams. Now that she could see him, she was in a good mood.
After having a good rest, she went to Lillian's ward with Max. Seeing that Lillian was lying on the bed, Leila poured a glass of water for him. Looking at Lillian on the bed silently, Max asked, "when will she wake up?"
"I don't know yet. But the doctor said that she had the sign of waking up."
Max nodded, took Leila's hand, and Leila sat down next to him, hesitating.
"What do you want to say?"
"Johnson, your father is getting married again."
For a moment, Leila felt a little angry. She didn't expect that her father didn't care about their old love at all. Her mother was still in a coma in the hospital. And he was eager to renew it. She felt sympathetic for Lillian, and sighed helplessly.
"Anyway, mother has not woken up yet. If she really wakes up, I really hope that I can take her to expose the true colors of Johnson."
"Come back with me, okay?" said Max, holding Leila's hand
Leila trembled. How could she leave her mother alone? But she wanted Max to see his child being born in person, so she fell into deep thoughts.
"I'll think about it."
At noon, Charles came to the ward and reminded Leila to remember to have lunch and tell her to be discharged from the hospital, asking her to go back with him in the afternoon.
Charles ignored Max completely.
When Charles left, Max looked at Leila with a mournful look. "You have been living with him for so long? In his apartment? "
Leila didn't refuse. But the light in Max's eyes became dim. If Leila went back to the apartment with Charles, where should he go?
Leila glanced at him, "by the way, where do you live in the UK?"
She cared about him and Max was in a better mood. "I came to the hospital as soon as I got off the plane, but I haven't found a place to live up to now."
"I'll take you to the hotel later!"
