CHAPTER 94Olivia's POV"Alright then" he said as he took my hand and kissed the back of my palms. He's such a gentleman."Mr. James will need to rest now miss". A nurse said. I wondered how long she had been standing there and if she saw us kiss. "No problem, I'll go have my bathe, change and get you some food" I said to James.I gave him a peck on his lips before bolting out of the door. I could feel his smirk after I left. I saw a doctor outside the corridor so I decided to ask him about James."Hey doctor, I'm the one who brought in the gun shot man, how long does he have to stay here before he gets discharged?" I asked the doctor as he fiddled with a notebook."And who are you to the young man?" He asked. "Well... I'm his... girlfriend. So when will he be discharged?" I asked.
