The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Ethan stirred in his bed, the rustle of sheets catching Rayna's attention. She sat in a chair beside him, a novel in her hand, but the moment she saw him move, she was on her feet.

"You're awake," she said, her tone more pleasant than she intended. Do you need anything? Water? Your lunch? An extra pillow?" Her words came out in a rush, betraying her concern. Ethan blinked up at her, his lips curving into a sleepy smile. "I'm fine. You've been fussing over me all morning. I'm sure that was the reason I was so exhausted. Sit down and relax."

"I'm not fussing," she retorted as she picked up his hospital-issued tray and inspected it before setting it back down with a frown.

"They should've brought your lunch by now. What are they waiting for?" She asked as she glanced at the clock.

Ethan's smile widened as he watched her, and then he chuckled, making her raise a brow as she glanced at him, "Is something funny?"

"Yeah."

She narrowed her eyes. "What's funny?"

"I thought you didn't care and wanted to move on?" Ethan teased.

"Shut up" she muttered, her cheeks pink.

"At the club that night, you said I wasn't your type," he reminded her, and she rolled her eyes.

"And you said I wasn't your type either," she shot back.

"I guess you lied," he said, ignoring her retort.

"Same way you lied too. And you lied about not liking that cereal and claimed it was for Sarah," she said, and he chuckled.

"I guess we both lied. You're very much my type," he said, and Rayna turned her back on him, but he didn't miss the way her lips quirked upward.

"Are you always this dressed up for hospital visits, or did you dress up specially for me?" Ethan asked, his voice light and teasing as he looked her over and noticed she had changed her clothes.

She wore a soft, lavender blouse that hugged her figure and a pair of dark jeans that looked freshly pressed. Her hair, usually in a casual ponytail, was swept into loose waves that framed her face and she had lipstick on. Rayna ran a hand self-consciously through her hair as she turned to face him. "What do you think?" She asked with a raised brow.

Ethan chuckled softly. "I think you dressed up for me."

"Yes, I did. And I had to wait hours for you to wake up and notice," she said with mock disapproval, and he laughed.

"Sorry. It's the pain relief medication. It's messing with my system.

And maybe it's a result of exhaustion, too. I'm probably getting all the sleep I didn't get during the duration of our problem," he admitted. "So, you had sleepless nights, huh?" She asked, pleased to hear that.
