“Thanks.”
His face was all bruised from last night’s beating by Dika Rothstein, and he hadn’t felt any pain when he’d been punched last night, but now, after the night, Gwen Fox felt like one of his faces hurt everywhere.
“Then wait a moment, I’ll go wash up, I just woke up.”
“Uh-huh.”
He hadn’t slept all night last night, and now that he heard Yolanda Taylor’s heartfelt words, the man relaxed.
Yolanda Taylor gave him a look and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.
After she cleaned herself up and came out, she found Gwen Fox asleep on the couch.
Yolanda Taylor froze and opened her mouth to call out to him, “Mr. Fox?”
The bruises on his face were just too scary, and Yolanda Taylor, who was already afraid of him, was even more so now.
She didn’t even dare to look closer, so she just called out to him like that.
Gwen Fox wasn’t exactly asleep, he opened his eyes just as Yolanda Taylor called out to him, “Okay?”
He moved a little, a piece of his face pulled at some point, it hurt and he couldn’t help but frown, but when he did, the eye piece hurt.
“I’m better, let’s go to the hospital.”
“Have you had breakfast yet?”
“Not yet, Mr. Fox have you had breakfast?”
“Neither have I.”
He said, standing up, “I’d like to use your restroom.”
Yolanda Taylor sidestepped, “Oh, okay.”
Seeing him pass by her, she subconsciously took a step aside.
Noticing this movement of hers, Gwen Fox only felt a dull ache in his heart.
He withdrew his gaze and hurriedly lifted his leg into the bathroom, washing his face and rinsing his mouth briefly before going out, “Let’s go.”
Even though he had washed his face, the swollen bruises on his face were still evident.
Yolanda Taylor nodded and headed out the door first.
She didn’t dare approach him, and Gwen Fox didn’t give her a hard time, letting her stay half a meter away.
The two got into the elevator, which thankfully wasn’t crowded at this time of day.
Outside the apartment, Gwen Fox but stopped, “You wait.”
“Oh.” Yolanda Taylor had no idea what he was up to, so she could only watch as he turned and went into a convenience store off to the side, standing by herself and waiting for him.
He came out quickly and bought two bottles of water, and two bags of bread.
Gwen Fox handed one to her, “It’s better to eat something in the morning.”
Yolanda Taylor reached out and took it, “Thanks.”
He nodded once and unscrewed the water, tilting his head back and drinking.
Yolanda Taylor looked at his elongated neckline and the jutting knot of his throat, there was something inexplicably attractive about Gwen Fox, despite her battered face.
Yolanda Taylor twisted the mineral water and realized she couldn’t unscrew it.
Gwen Fox looked at her, “Need help?”
She snapped a little and handed over the mineral water bottle.
“Thanks.”
She took a sip of the water, then walked out to hail a cab.
While she waited for the cab, Yolanda Taylor chewed and finished her bread, and when she tilted her head and realized Gwen Fox was looking at her, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, “Did I get anything on it?”
“No.”
He averted his eyes, but his grip on the mineral water tightened.
Even though Yolanda Taylor had lost her memory, her bread-eating habit was exactly the same as before, she liked to eat the crust and the filling separately, preferring to eat the crust but not the filling.
At that moment, a taxi came by, and Yolanda Taylor quickly reached out to stop it.
Gwen Fox knew that she was afraid of herself and didn’t go up to her first, waiting for her to get into the car before he pulled open the passenger door and sat up.
As soon as the driver saw Gwen Fox, he was shocked for a moment, “Bro, who did you get hit by?”
“Fell on my own.”
He was unwilling to tell the truth, the driver thought it was because he didn’t want to lose his prestige in front of his girlfriend’s eyes, so he wisely didn’t ask any further.
This time period is already past the rush hour, the car quickly arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Today is Wednesday, the hospital is full of people.
Yolanda Taylor saw so many people and glanced at Gwen Fox’s face, thinking that if she was bumped and squeezed by anyone, it would probably hurt.
She pursed her lips, “Would you mind giving me your ID and I’ll register you, there are too many people in there, in case someone bumps into you-”
He held out his ID and handed it to her.
Yolanda Taylor couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment when she got the ID card, this ID card was taken five years ago, the man in the photo had sword brows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and his features were deep and well-defined, just like those good-looking male stars on TV.
She felt that this man was handsome when she first saw him, and she didn’t expect that he would be so handsome without a beard.
Moreover, this was a document photo, a man who could look so good even on a document photo would definitely look even better in reality.
Only that pair of eyes, really some cool, even though it is in the photo above, Yolanda Taylor still feel alienated and cool.
Suddenly remembering those words of Dika Rothstein, she couldn’t help but turn back to Gwen Fox, only to realize that he was following her.
She was shocked for a moment, “Why did you follow me in here, I’ll just go alone, there are so many people, if I bump into you, that’s not …”
“Not afraid.”
Between words, a woman suddenly passed by in a windy manner, Yolanda Taylor had not yet reacted, Gwen Fox pulled her aside a little.
The man’s fingertips were slightly cold, and Yolanda Taylor shuddered, hastily pulling her hand back.
I don’t know why, but that sinking feeling in her heart, it came back.
She looked at Gwen Fox apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that, I don’t know why, when you touch me, my heart feels like it’s being pressed by something, it’s hard, I’m sorry.”
Yolanda Taylor’s words were soft and gentle, but when they fell on his heart, they pressed on his heart with a dull ache.
Was it hard for her when he touched her?
Despite being amnesiac, did the hatred for him inside her body still remember clearly?
He suddenly remembered that not long ago when he bumped into her on the mountain, he excitedly hugged her, but she was trembling, her face was white, and she kept knocking her head saying that it hurt.
Gwen Fox blanched and her thin lips quivered slightly, “I’m sorry.”
Yolanda Taylor pursed her lips for a second to end the conversation, “I’m going to get … you in line to register.”
He nodded once and followed her at a distance of half a meter.
After doing a simple check to confirm that there were no internal injuries, Yolanda Taylor went with him to the trauma treatment room on the second floor to clean the wound.
The nurse thought she was his girlfriend, and while helping Gwen Fox’s wounds to be sterilized, she explained to him, “This swollen face isn’t that serious, go back and remember to boil some eggs for your boyfriend to scald them, and the swelling will go down soon.”
Yolanda Taylor smiled, “I’m not his girlfriend.”
“Oh, then we’ll have to let the patient do it himself.”
After coming out from treating the wound, the time was already past twelve noon.
“Let me treat you to dinner.”
“No need, Mr. Fox, you, better go back and have a good rest, I have an appointment with a friend, so I’ll leave first.”
At this time, just as a taxi passed by, Yolanda Taylor raised her hand to stop the car, the car stopped, she didn’t wait for Gwen Fox to answer, she directly ran over and pulled open the door to get into the car.
Gwen Fox watched as the taxi drove further and further away, the wind whistling past her was colder than ever.
He had never thought that she was so afraid of him.
