Chapter 119

Stephanie asked, “Where is the fairy tale book I asked you to buy?”

It was the third day since Dominick woke up from a coma. His spirit and complexion had improved significantly, but his severe injuries still required him to remain in the hospital for observation. Vincent and the others came to visit him every noon.

Stephanic rummaged through the fruit basket Vincent had brought over, but she didn’t find the fairy tale book she wanted.

Vincent glared at her irritably. “You’re a mother now. How can you still read such childish books?”

Stephanic looked at him angrily. “I told you to buy it two days ago, and you forgot again!”

Vincent responded, “I already had Hayley to pick it up from the bookstore on her way here. Stephanie, you are supposed to stay and take

care of Dominick, yet you troubling others. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Whenever he came to visit, the ward would become especially lively, Dominick, leaning against the headboard, glanced over at the two of

them.

Stephanie and Vincent glared at each other and then sensibly turned away, both falling silent.

Around half past eleven in the morning, a nurse brought over a meal.

Dominick, seemingly sick of the hospital food, continued reading his financial newspaper. He had a stern look and didn’t even spare a glance

at the lunch.

and difficult to please.
