Chapter 288 I Don't Want to Keep Waiting Anymore

"Mr. Soder?" Beatrice looked up at the man entering the room.

Odin was still holding a thermos in his hand, and his gaze fell upon the food box on the table as he chuckled, "It seems like someone else had the same idea as me."

To my surprise, Ryan brought up the food he had brought himself, saying, "Mr. Soder, I just came to see Beatrice. This is the food I prepared for her mother, and you arrived just in time." Beatrice

Before Beatrice could say anything. Ryan had already left with his things.

She looked at Odin awkwardly and said, "Sorry, are you... are you okay?"

Beatrice noticed that Odin was also wearing a patient gown underneath his coat.

The sea water was so cold that most people couldn't bear it.

Odin walked to the bedside and placed the food box down. As he opened the box, he reassured, "It's okay, just a little cold. How about you?"

In order to alleviate the awkwardness, Beatrice jokingly raised her soft and limp arm.

"Jakob almost broke my arm, but everything else was fine."

'I looked."

Odin sat on

the edge of the bed, his slender hand gently grasping Beatrice's wrist, pulling her towards him.

The sudden approach left Beatrice somewhat bewildered.

She moved slightly, wanting to pull back her wrist.

Odin, however, tightened his grip slightly and cast a deep, penetrating gaze at him, "Are you afraid of me?

"No," Beatrice answered truthfully.

He slowly rolled up her sleeve and frowned at the red mark on her arm, saying, "Do you know what I was thinking when I pulled you out of the sea?"

Beatrice shook her head.

I didn't want to keep waiting anymore."

Odin's palm temperature was very comfortable. Seeing that she didn't reject it, he carefully lifted and kissed the injured area. Beatrice was a bit disoriented, her mind completely blank.

"..."

Just as Beatrice was about to speak, the wall-mounted internet TV automatically updated with the latest news

"The Baldwin Group signed a multi-billion-dollar collaboration, Mr. n's wedding is imminent, bringing double joy."

Although it was a business collaboration, the media, who loves to create a spectacle, published a photo of Caden and Bella together. Watching the happy couple, Beatrice recalled Ryan's words.

She should have started a new life, let go of herself, and let go of others.

The words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue, but they turned into hesitation: "I wasn't sure, you should know that I...*
