The gauze completely covered my left face and bridge of my nose, leaving only my nostril to breathe.
Maybe in order to prevent infection, the gauze was wrapped tightly, which made my face deformed.
I stroked the gauze with my hand. I even felt pain when I pressed it gently!
What was under the gauze?
I couldn’t help being curious.
Was it ugly?
I was suddenly afraid that Sean would see me like this.
I went out to the nurse’s desk and asked for a mask and put it on quickly. As soon as I wanted to go back to the ward, I saw Sean coming out of the elevator.
He was wearing a silver suit and no tie. The top of his shirt was unbuttoned.
I hadn’t seen him for days. He was still so handsome.
He saw me soon.
Although I wore a mask, I could only cover the bandage on my cheek, but the bandage on my nose was still exposed.
“What happened to your face?”
Sean walked up to me and reached out.
I thought he was going to take off my mask, which scared me to step back. I covered my mask and lowered my head and said, “let’s go to my room.”
Sean followed me back to the room and apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m too busy these days. I haven’t noticed your situation. Why are you in hospital? What’s the problem? Do you need to transfer?”
I shook my head and covered my mask with my hands all the time, covering the bandage on my nose.
When I saw Sean, I thought of the recording Molly asked me to listen to.
Was Daniell’s death really about Sean?
This was what I wanted to know most, but I couldn’t ask him. For my baby, I needed Sean to help me.
I sat back in bed and kept a meter away from Sean. I said, “I was kidnapped by Molly yesterday.”
“Kidnapping?”Sean frowned slightly and reached into his pocket. He seemed to want to have the matter investigated.
“Wait a minute.”I quickly stopped him and begged, “let me finish.”
I told Sean that Molly kidnapped me yesterday and had several black men rape me and one of them had AIDS.
Maybe I was vain. I didn’t say she poured me sulfuric acid.
I just said my face was hurt.
When I said it, he was getting angry. His hands on his legs were clenched and the blue veins on the back of his hands were obvious.
What was he angry with? I didn’t know and I didn’t want to guess.
When I finished, I said, “when I woke up, I didn’t feel raped. But I dare not take risks. I should take barrier medicine just in case, but…”
“But.”
Sean stood up and walked up to me.
His behavior seemed to tell me that he didn’t mind if I had AIDS.
I flinched and hesitated for a moment. I told him, “but I’m pregnant.”
“Pregnant?”Sean was stunned to hear that. He looked very happy and went to my bed and picked me up directly. He looked up at me and said, “what do you mean? Am I going to be a father?”
I was at a loss for a moment. Because I may be infected with HIV, I was not happy to know that I was pregnant, but I was a little happy at this time.
“Put me down.”I frowned.”I just said I am pregnant, and I didn’t say the baby is yours.”
“Your baby is mine, of course.”
Sean gently put me back in bed and half knelt by the bed and held my hand.
There was nothing in his eyes but trust.
I was a little overwhelmed by his behavior,” but I can’t take risks. What if I cheat myself for self-protection that I was not violated?”
“… I see. I’ll call the police to find Molly.”
Sean said and took out his cell phone.
“The police?”
I looked at Sean suspiciously. This was the first time he had called the police about Molly.
“Yes.”Sean raised his hand and touched my hair.”I owe Molly, but I’ve compensated her for all these years. I don’t owe her in the future. Of course I’m going to take the normal approach.”
“Sean-”
I looked at him in front of me and was a little moved.
I was even thinking if he didn’t kill Daniell…
When the idea came out, it was quickly killed by me. I shifted the subject, “I heard the conversation of those black men before I was in a coma…”
I told him that the black men might have two employers and about the nurse just now.
“OK, I see.”
Sean started making calls.
I thought of what Barton said, so I grabbed him and said, “the doctors here say I’d better take the medicine within 24 hours, so the blocking rate is higher. Not more than 24 hours at the latest.”
Sean got serious when he heard me. He opened his arms and bent over and held me. He patted me on the back.”Don’t worry. I’ll get it all done in 24 hours.”
His voice was very light, but it was loud in my ear.
It was like I would believe if he said it.
Sean went out with his phone. I had been thinking about the nurse.
If she were alive, everything would be much easier.
I wanted to sneak downstairs to have a look. As soon as I got to the elevator, I saw Sean making a phone call by the window next to the elevator.
He frowned slightly when he saw me. He came up and hugged me directly. He didn’t talk to me but kept on calling.
“Well, please.”He hung up and looked down at me.”Where are you going?”
“I… I want to see the nurse.”
I was a little embarrassed when I spoke.
Sean was handsome and in good shape. Since he entered the building, all the nurses had been looking at him.
Now he and I were very intimate so the nurses looked angry!
“No way.”Sean leaned over and picked me up like I was a baby.”It’s windy outside. Pregnant women are weak and can’t be blown. I’ll let others do it.”
“Put me down.”
“Don’t move. There are many people in the hospital. I can only hold you like this.”Sean took a look at me and quickly kissed my exposed eyelids.
I suddenly blushed.
When we got into the room, he put me back in bed and smiled, “Eric is downstairs. I just let him see it. He said the nurse had not yet woken up.”
“Oh.”
I responded.
His black eyes were on me all the time and he seemed to be possessed. He raised his hands and suddenly pressed me on the bed. He leaned over and put one hand a millimeter away from my mask, pleading, “honey, can I take it off? I want to kiss you.”
