Chapter 118

Stephanie stayed in the ward the entire time. Around seven o’clock at night, a meal was delivered to the ward by the hospital.

Dominick had just regained consciousness and couldn’t eat yet, so he relied on IV nutrition while she had a quick and simple meal on the

side.

Stephanie initially thought she might have to go back to the hotel to get her clothes, but Vincent had unexpectedly packed and brought her luggage over, apparently intending for her to stay with Dominick in the hospital.

She took the luggage from the nurse and looked a bit hesitant.

Meanwhile, Dominick, lying on the hospital bed, looked much better and watched Stephanie with a complicated expression. It seemed he was wondering if she would stay or leave.

She didn’t say anything, took a set of clean clothes, and went straight to the bathroom.

Dominick had initially wanted to say, “If you want to leave, go ahead,” but perhaps because he was too tired, he held back.

The ward was spacious, with a single bed opposite his. Stephanie went to the nurse to get a clean pillow and blanket, prepared the bed, and

then lay down to rest.

Before going to sleep, Stephanie dutifully reminded Dominick, “Dominick, let me know if you need anything.”

Dominick raised an eyebrow as he looked at her on the bed across from him, his eyes showing some conflicting emotions. It wasn’t until she closed her eyes and her breathing became steady that he sighed in frustration.

He mused. ‘This is my wife… When will she ever be as considerate as other people’s wives?”

At that moment, the lighting in the ward was dim. Dominick turned to look at her familiar face across from him and suddenly remembered his grandfather’s furious expression earlier that day. He then thought that he couldn’t let them find out.
