Chapter 79 Inexplicably Disappeared

Seething, I glowered at Dominic. Yet, I remained quiet as I didn’t know what to say.

Finally, I closed my eyes morosely and muttered, “Hurry up and leave. I want to sleep.”

He’s still his usual self, all right. His barbs can make someone burst a blood vessel anytime.

I closed my eyes for a long time, but I didn’t hear the door opening or closing. Having run out of patience, I opened my eyes again. As soon as I turned my head, I spotted Dominic sitting on the couch.

At the sight of him, I was taken aback for a moment, at a loss as to why he was still here.

“Didn’t I ask you to go home, Dominic? Why are you still here?”

“This is a public space, so why do you care whether I leave? Hurry up and sleep,” he replied placidly.

“Whatever!” I huffed. Then, I kept silent.

Ugh! Speaking to him is just inviting scorn! Why on earth was I so stupid to open myself to criticism?

This time, I kept my eyes screwed shut and ignored him entirely. Surprisingly, I fell asleep very quickly and even slept through the night.

The moment I woke up in the morning, I instinctually looked at the couch. Dominic was no longer there though I wasn’t sure whether he had left in the wee hours.

Nonetheless, I wasn’t all that bothered because I realized that I could move. While I was still feeling sluggish, I could undoubtedly move.

Well, it looks like my inability to move yesterday was due to the lingering effect of that damn drug. Now that a day has passed, my condition has probably improved significantly.

Recalling Dominic and my parents’ assurances that I was going to be discharged soon, I didn’t suspect anything further.
