Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Being A Good Samaritan Is No Cakewalk

Unexpectedly, Shannon arrived before Dominic and my father returned.

When my mother saw that I had Shannon keeping me company, she took the jug out to get some hot water.

After seeing that I had awakened when she stepped in, Shannon was so excited that a grin split her face. However, the smile only lasted for two seconds before tears streamed down her face like a faucet.

“What are you doing, Shannon, crying and laughing at the same time?” I stared at her in exasperation. Good heavens! I’ve finally gotten Mom to stop crying, yet it’s now her turn to turn on the waterworks!

Dashing the tears off her face, Shannon sniffled. “I’m just happy. Why didn’t you inform me when you woke up, girl? Do you know how worried I was?”

“All right, all right, I’m fine now, no?” I consoled her with a smile. “Wipe your face properly. You’re looking ghastly with your makeup all smeared.”

“I was concerned about you, but you ridicule me for being ghastly? I’ll punch you!” Shannon screeched indignantly.

“Can you bring yourself to do so when I’m a patient now?” I countered with a wink.

Upon hearing that, Shannon grew nervous. Sitting down beside the bed, she solemnly inquired, “So, how are you doing? What did the doctor say?”

“I don’t know either. My father and Dominic left with the doctor. Anyway, I’m probably fine since I’m awake. Don’t worry.”

In truth, I was still rather perturbed about the drug Julius gave me. I had no idea whether it would have any side effects, especially when I was still feeling weak and listless.

Thus, that remark was both for Shannon and me. In a way, I was trying to soothe myself.
