Chapter 278
Tracey was awakened by disinfectant fluid, which she was too familiar with.
Due to her weak body, she often came to the hospital when she was a child. As expected, she saw the white ceiling as soon as she opened her eyes.
A few nurses in pink were busy in the room. There was a bottle hung up high, the infusion was still on.
Tracey was extremely thirsty, feeling like fire was breaking out of her throat. "Why was I here?" She thought.
Then she saw Adam standing in front of the window with his hands clasped behind. It was late at night. The world was in silence and nothing in the sky but the round and bright moon.
Adam's figure looked as if being covered by the coldness of the night, shedding a trace of desolation.
"Adam..." Tracey's hoarse voice sounded.
Hearing her weak voice, Adam rushed to her instantly, looking at her with caring eyes.
"Tracey, how do you feel? Do you feel better? Are you thirsty or hungry?" Adam's questions were flooded out, made Tracey confused about which to answer first.
Tracey shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just thirsty. Can
I have some water?" "Okay, one second." Adam turned around and walked to the table. Tracey smelled a strong smoke of him.
Although Adam did not smoke in front of Tracey, judged from that smell, she could tell he smoked more than just one or two cigarettes.
Since knowing Adam, Tracey had gradually quit smoking. So, she was clear that if not for being extremely depressed, Adam would not smoke such a lot. "Was he too worried about me? With his strong love, it was possible.” Tracey thought.
Adam quickly came over with a glass of water. The nurse helped Tracey up.
Adam carefully put a small spoon in the glass for assisting Tracey to drink. Tracey almost died of thirst and a small spoon of water would not help.
"Adam, it's just a cold. Don't worry." She took the cup from Adam's hand and drank all water up instantly.
"Slow down, slow down, don't choke." Adam looked worried, as if Tracey would be really choking.
"Adam, what happened to you? I'm just drinking some water. You don’t have to worry about me like this." Tracey smiled and said.
"Please measure her temperature." Adam ordered the nurse, "Tracey, you don’t know how severe your fever was."
"I caught cold at night the day before yesterday. I thought it doesn't matter and I will be fine by drinking hot water. I don't know it went worse later." Tracey hadn't had a cold for a long time, once got
sick, it would be severe.
"From now on..." Adam wanted to say something, all of a sudden, a man rushed in.
"Adam, I've warned you not to hurt her." Steve rushed over angrily and punched Adam in the face.
"Sheep, stop!" Tracey was also shocked by his sudden attack.
Adam was getting ready to fight back. As soon as he stretched his fist, he suddenly realized that Steve was in great importance to Tracey, then he withdrew his hand.
"What are you doing here? If you are out of mind, go back to where you from." Adam said with a gloomy face. He looked terrible as being punched by a man he could not fight back.
Rage mixed tolerance, beating Adam’s heart hard. He clenched his fist, the veins on it all stood.
"What did you do to Tracey? How could she be in the hospital!"
"Sheep, I'm fine. I'm really fine." Tracey didn't know what happened to Steve to make him had such a big anger.
"Tracey, I have told you that I am always your backup. If this guy bullies you, let me raise you for the rest of your life.
It's not worth being sad for anyone in this world! Especially for Adam! Let's go back to the States!"
"Sheep, did you misunderstand something?"
"Isn't this bastard bullying you and you don’t even eat? Did your stomachache attack again? Woman, look at you, I'm distressed." Steve said and took Tracey into his arms.
Knowing that he had a long fight, Tracey leaned her head on his shoulder and patted his back gently.
"Steve, I know you care about me, but things are not like what you think. You have misunderstood. Adam didn't bully me." Tracey said in a gentle way.
"How could you lie here if he did not bully you?"
Adam looked at Tracey was clasping tightly by another man. If someone dared to touch Tracey like this, he would definitely end up being miserable, but Steve was an exception.
In the past three years, he was Tracey's family and her spiritual support. Although they were not lovers, their relationship was surely the same strong as that of lovers.
And Adam could never share this feeling with Tracey. After all, it was Steve who accompanied her when she needed help the most.
After being hugged for a while, she pushed Steve away and said, "Well, you have hugged me and beaten him. So, why are you here?"
"It's all because of you! You little b*tch!" Steve told Tracey how he was depressed these days.
"You flew over from the States to here just because I didn't eat breakfast?!" Tracey had always known that Steve was kind to her, but she had never expected he could be so kind.
Although Steve often teased Tracey, in fact, he valued Tracey in his heart much more than anyone.
"Don’t you remember how scary your stomachache
attacking last time? I think you must be bullied by this bastard. After all, I am your only family.
You are bullied, how can I not come? Woman, I won't let others bully you." Steve said and gently rubbed her head.
Even if Adam knew that Tracey had no love for Steve, he was still jealous. But he had to suppress his jealousy first.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"It's not what you think. Let me tell you the whole story." Adam sent all the nurses away, then he began to tell the story.
After Adam finished telling, Steve's eyes were already ablaze with anger. "How dare that scum does such a thing to you!"
"Steve, don't be angry. Adam has taken revenge on him. I will be careful and have no contact with him in the future.
You didn't come here for being angry, did you? Come on, calm down and see what you have done to Adam."
Tracey had to coax not only Steve but also the other man who had suffered a punch. She knew that Adam had been forbearing that punch, just for not angering her. His love was deep.
