“Grandpa, was that the only thing that you heard?” Eva asked in a teasing voice. She didn't need to be standing in front of George to know what kind of mood he was in currently, so she decided that teasing him might lighten up the dark atmosphere and his mood. She can't allow him to get angry as it wasn't good for his blood pressure.“Which hospital are you in? Can the hospital be able to provide the proper treatment you need? Should I have my people come and bring you over here so that you can have proper treatment from the family doctor?” George ignored her question, he knew she was trying to make the atmosphere better and it was a good attempt, but not distracting enough.That Mark Johnson never learned! He sure has a lot of guts attacking Eva without hesitation. Who did he think he was?“I don't know the name of the hospital but based on the look of things, I think I've been given the VVIP ward on the top floor…… “ Eva trailed off, unable to complete her words when the door opened
Since when did the dangerous, ruthless and cruel CEO become a babysitter for her? “I am." Damien curtly replied. “I came back to confirm if you have finished the food." He added on with a blank expression on his face.“Well, now that it is confirmed, so……..?” Eva trailed off while raising a questioning brow at Damien. She was really desperate to get rid of Damien immediately out of her ward room. “Besides, I'm quite sleepy , so you need to leave. I can't sleep peacefully if you are still in this room." Eva said with a yawn escaping out of her mouth. She started feeling drowsy after she finished the meal but she couldn't help but on her phone and call her grandfather first before he died out of worry. Damien didn't say anything and just stared at Eva for a few seconds before standing up from his seat. “I will be back after handling some matters." He announced.“No, don't come back and stay wherever you're going now." Eva immediately shook her head in refusal when she heard him. Being
“Don't think about it." Damien's cold voice cut off Eva, walking into the room with his hands tucked into his pocket, like a real thug. But instead of looking cheap, his appearance was more handsome and dangerous. The nurse couldn't help but marvelled at him in awe. He was even better looking in real life than seeing him in television. Wearing a dark grey suit, his eyes were blazing, his dark hair messily swept back as if he had run his hand through it many times, making him look as if he had just stepped out of a magazine.“Excuse me?!" Eva asked with a scowl on her face, though she was a little bit taken aback by seeing Damien in the room. Shouldn't this man be at his company? Why was he suddenly showing up here in her room?Eva clenched her teeth tightly and pulled out the needle in her arm by herself. She grabbed the nearest tissue and pressed on the wound to stop it from bleeding.Damien's angry gaze turned darker and become a blazing fire out for blood. “Are you stupid or dumb?
Her words surprised Damien a little bit but due to the fact that he wasn't the kind of person to show any kind of emotion on his face, it made it hard for Eva to tell that he was taken aback by her words.Damien couldn't agree more with Eva because he had no explanation or reason why he was being nice to her. The thought confused him as well. This woman was the one who had stolen his virginity and even had the guts to pay him off with a million dollars check. He should hate her for that reason alone because she had just blatantly insulted him.“Why would I hate you?” Damien suddenly questions back.For once , Eva was shut out of words and didn't know what to say. She stared at him and tried to study his expression. With his firm eyes and unmarveling posture, she could easily tell that he wasn't lying. “Well, if you don't hate me, then I do.” She quietly muttered, turning her head and began to tidy up her things.Damien stared blankly at her, her words taking him aback again. Did she
Eva ignored his obvious stare, she picked up her phone, placed it into her purse and then walked towards the door.She was quite surprised that Damien was letting her leave the hospital without stopping her. She couldn't help but glance back at him, noticing that he was trailing behind her instead of stopping her. Meanwhile, Damien didn't bother wasting his time forcing her to stay in the hospital. He knew they would just continue to argue back and forth endlessly until one of them had their way.“Why are you walking so fast?" Damien asked, seeing her hasten her pace the moment she looked over her shoulder and saw that he was following her down the hallway.“Obviously, to get away from you." She bluntly replied without looking back.A smile creeped up on Damien's face. This was the first time a woman ever told him that. People would always want to engage him anytime he attended any social gathering and banquet. Everyone was eager to be around him. They were either drawn by his looks,
“There is no need for that." Damien curtly answered.Eva opened her mouth to say something to refute Damien's words but decided against it. She would just let this one go like that because eventually she was not going to win this argument if they continued to prolong this issue. She decided to be indebted to him just this once but also planned to make sure that she repay him back.“Fine, I won't argue with you anymore on that. Please have a safe ride back, Mr. Cross." Eva bowed her head at Damien and was about to remove the jacket Damien had given to her when she was suddenly stopped by Damien.“What are you trying to do?" Damien asked, his voice completely cold and serious with a dark frown on his face as he stared at Eva. Was this woman crazy? Why would she want to remove the jacket out in public?Eva tilted her head when she heard Damien's question and the dark expression on his face. What did she do wrong? “I'm trying to return the jacket you have borrowed me?" She innocently repl
Normally, Damien would have been annoyed or angered by her daring behavior, but for some odd reasons, he wasn't. He found himself more amused by everything she does. She always did the unexpected and went against his wishes which he had never seen anyone done before. Unlike most people that would easily cater to his every word and whim, she argued against it. Most men would find it hard and tiring to spend time with a fiesty woman, but Damien on the other hand actually enjoyed it.He didn't like submissive, reticent and unassertive women like Christine. She always had to act weak and coy to earn sympathy from people which was the opposite of Eva's personality. Women like Christine would readily agree with a man and never fight back. Damien was constantly surrounded by people like that and having a woman that refuses to think for herself but only to satisfy their man and follow his every word would surely be boring and tiring. When he got no response from Eva, Damien turned his head
Damien was about to place Eva's phone into her purse when a thought came to his head. He tried to unlock her phone and realize that there was a password. He wondered if Eva would be stupid enough to use her fingerprint as her password and just like he thought, she was. However, just in time after he was able to unlock her phone using her index finger, her phone rang again but this time the caller ID name was someone he was quite familiar with. The caller was none other than George calling, making Damien narrow his eyes at whether he should pick the call or not. How would the fierce and grumpy old man react when a man picked his granddaughter's phone? Damien contemplated while the phone kept ringing, but he ended up picking the call for her.“Evangeline, where are you right now? I just asked Julian to put a call through the front desk of the hospital you were admitted to and was told that you're discharged. Why didn't you stay longer? Is this how you're reassuring me that you're okay
