Chapter 346:

Bryan’s eyes fixed on Eileen with intensity, reminiscent of Gabriela’s expectant gaze when she needed coaxing to sleep. Her resolve softened, and rather than slinging her handbag over her shoulder, she sat next to the hospital bed, placing her hands on his shoulders.

He lifted his right hand to grasp her wrist, as if he knew what was coming next, and bowed his head to receive her kiss. Their lips met; his left hand brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, then trailed down to her shoulder, finally resting at her waist.

His breathing grew rapid and heavy; after all, it was his head that had been injured, not his lower body.

As she attempted to pull back, the intensity in his eyes darkened. He raised himself slightly from the bed to deepen their kiss. He pulled her into his arms, kissing her passionately as if trying to compensate for their time apart.

“Stop—” Her voice was a whisper, barely audible as she tried to evade his fervent kisses.

Resting his head against her neck and breathing heavily, he asked, “After I’m discharged, we can continue this at my place?”

“Let’s not make plans just yet. Wait until you’re discharged. How about I surprise you?” She noticed the veins on his neck tensing and gently pressed one with her finger.

Suddenly, he seized her wrist firmly. “If you don’t want to do it here, then stop touching me.” His voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed desire.

After a moment, he spoke again, his voice deeper. “Surprise me. Last time, you mentioned that once you were settled at Freguson Group, you’d tell me something. What’s it?”

“It’s the surprise. You’ll find out when it’s time.”

Eileen gently pushed on his shoulders to create some distance between them and stood up from the bed to adjust her disheveled clothes.

Julio’s engagement party started at four in the afternoon, and Eileen returned home after lunch. She showered and changed into fresh clothes before visiting Gabriela at Josue’s.

Gabriela, nestled in her chair, brightened at the sight and sound of Eileen, waving her arms and kicking her legs joyfully.

Within a minute, however, her eyebrows furrowed, her lips puckered, and tears welled up, streaming down freely.

Eileen was startled, thinking she might have frightened the girl.

Josue quickly came over, gently pushed Eileen aside, and picked up Gabriela to comfort her.

“Gabriela, it’s okay. I’m here, don’t be scared.”

But Gabriela’s cries grew even more heart-wrenching, her tears streaming down as her eyes darted around.

After watching Josue struggle to soothe Gabriela, Eileen tentatively suggested, “She might be looking for me, don’t you think?”
