The corner of David's lips curled up, revealing a smile: "I just woke up and you left?"
What makes him happiest is when he opens his eyes, the first person he sees is the woman he worries about the most. Seeing her at peace, he reassured.
"But, your wound..."
"This wound can't die," David replied comfortably, he hid the pain in his heart.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
"You can't talk about death, you can't die, you can't leave me nor leave all the people who love you." Ella bit her lower lip.
The corners of David's mouth curled up, his face pale, but that didn't affect his handsomeness.
"Of course, I can't die... I still haven't got friends..."
Ella's face was red, her heart was racing, and she was both embarrassed and worried. "Okay, stop talking, I'm going to call the doctor to check on you."
Ella pressed the red button on the wall. Moments later, two doctors entered the room. They checked on David and said he had no problem. He just needs to rest for a few weeks.
Ella heard the doctor say that, and she was overjoyed.
After the two doctors left, Ella asked David. "Now, do you want me to call your parents to come here?"
"No need. I don't want them to worry about me." David replied. He stared at Ella. "Are you Okay?" He asked in a weak voice.
Ella looked back at David and nodded. "I'm fine...thanks...thank you for saving me."
She lowered her head, biting her lower lip. "And I'm sorry too... if it weren't for me..."
David interrupted her. "Don't say sorry, I volunteered."
Ella looked up. Tears began to flow from her eyes but she blinked a few times to hold back. "Why did you do that? At that time, it was very dangerous. Why did you risk your life to save me?"
David gave a weak smile. "To protect you... and because I love you."
Ella's heart skipped a beat when she heard those words. 'To protect me? Is he willing to risk his life just to protect me?'
"But you almost got killed," Ella said with a worried face.
"Your safety is important." David's smile widened.
Ella was dazed for a moment. This man, for protecting her without sparing his life. He moved her. Her eyes began to shed tears again.
David reached out and wiped her tears. "Don't cry, I'm fine."
"Are you in pain?" Ella whimpered.
"If you kiss me, I won't hurt." David smiled mischievously.
Ella thought for a moment then kissed him on the lips.
David smiled. "Your kiss has eased my pain."
Ella giggled. "Do you want to eat?" She thinks that she must take care of the patient's eating and drinking, eating must be nutritious to recover quickly.
"I want to eat porridge."
"Okay, let me go buy you porridge."
David stopped him when he saw Ella about to get her bag. "I will tell the bodyguard to buy it. You don't go, I don't feel safe when you go out alone."
Ella didn't object to his opinion, she nodded.
David took out his phone and called one of his bodyguards. "Let's buy some porridge and take it to the hospital."
The person on the other end of the line nodded and immediately went to the nearest supermarket. After a few minutes, a man brought porridge into Davi's room.
Ella poured porridge into a bowl. David was about to stretch out his hand to get a bowl of porridge when she took the initiative to ask. "Let me feed you."
David's eyes showed surprise mixed with joy, and the corners of his mouth curled up, he was very pleased to be treated like that.
"What are you laughing at?" Ella blew into the bowl of porridge while asking.
"I'm very happy." David curled his lips.
"You're injured, why are you happy?" Ella frowned.
"I'm taken care of by you, so I'm happy." There was a glint of warmth in David's eyes.
These words brushed past Ella's heart, she pursed her lips. "You treat me well, so I have to be nice to you too."
Outside the window is early winter, a few thin snowflakes fall from the sky, and the first snow of the season has fallen. Cold.
But inside the room was extremely warm air.
After David finished eating, Ella cleaned up the dishes.
David watched her clean up the mess, he asked. "Do you know someone who wants to harm you?"
"I do not know." Ella frowned.
She couldn't think of anyone who wanted to harm her. The only one who hates her is Maria... Maybe... No, no. How could this happen?
She doesn't believe Maria hired people to kill her.
Currently, Maria is abroad, in a luxury hotel. She paced up and down the room, impatient. She didn't think David would take the bullet for Ella.
She investigated the hospital where David was being treated. She desperately wants to go to the hospital to visit David but is afraid that he will get suspicious. How did she get here?
Maria thought for a moment. She came up with a plan. She put on a mask and went to the hospital. She went to David's hospital room and stood outside the door.
Maria saw Ella sitting on the edge of the bed, peeling apples. Occasionally, Ella feeds him. They look very happy.
Maria clenched her fists, very angry. She stood looking at them for a while and then returned.
At night, it's snowing, and the trees outside the window seem to be covered with a white coat. Beside the fireplace, in the warm room, David was leaning on the sofa, next to it was a piano.
Before David acquired this mansion, the piano was already available. Because this style is quite classic, he kept it.
Ella hadn't played in a while, so she sat down on a chair in front of the piano. Her fingers rest on the black and white keys.
David's eyes suddenly lit up, those eyes filled with so many emotions that were hard to hide.
The sound of the piano echoed in his ears like water from a stream. In his eyes was Ella's slim and seductive back, making him recall the moment his heart fluttered with hers.
It was the thing he was most worried about and also the happiest thing in his life because, from that moment on, his heart was taken over by her image, making his life every single day. filled with anticipation and a sense of satisfaction.
David is currently injured, and unable to move, most of the time he can only sit still and rest.
Ella finished a piece of music, David clapped his hands, a smile on the corner of his mouth. He waved at her. "Come here."
Ella walked over to him and sat down.
David gently lifted her chin, kissing her lips. Ella lifted her body, letting him take his breath away from kissing her, after all, she just wanted to take care of this wounded man's feelings.
A passionate kiss.
