Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

chapter-167

Upon hearing April’s words, Vania couldn’t help but beat herself up for having put Hanson in such a miserable state. After all, he was with her during the barbecue they had the night before even though she knew she might or might not be responsible for the man’s illness.

In the meantime, Larry was satisfied after hearing April’s explanation as he was able to imagine how worried Vania felt deep down. That’s my boy, April! I just knew you wouldn’t let us down!

However, Larry quickly became anxious when Vania seemed to be relieved, fearing that she would leave shortly after. Therefore, he immediately stopped crying and said, “Miss Greyson, if you wouldn’t mind, could you please stay here and look after President Luke? After all, now that he is sick, I’m afraid I’ll be needed in the office to take care of some important business matters. Furthermore, President Luke is not someone who gets comfortable with strangers around him, so I suppose I have no choice but to leave him in your care.”

Before the lady could respond, Larry hurriedly scurried out of the ward, leaving Vania behind with her mouth wide agape.

Why did he just run away all of a sudden? He seemed a little agitated, didn’t he? Moreover, his mood improved pretty fast, and he’s now leaving his boss to me like that? This is strange. Vania blinked and turned her attention to April with a bewildered look, seemingly asking him what was going on. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, April was caught off guard by Larry’s unexpected reaction as his eyes and mouth were both left wide open. When he noticed Vania’s confused gaze fixed upon him, he awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, “Mrs. Luke, I’m going to entrust you with Hanson because I need to be away to work on his prescription now.” Upon finishing his words, he quickly got out of the place, refusing to take any chances of blowing Hanson’s cover.

On the other hand, Hanson, who was lying in bed, wished he could just get off the bed and teach the two men a lesson. What are those two fellas doing? Can’t they play it off more naturally? Vania is a smart woman, and she can see through your fishy behaviors!

“What’s going on?” Vania murmured to herself before she sat down beside the bed. A few moments later, she began to calm down while what happened earlier started to run through her mind.

Wait a minute, something is not right. What were they doing? Why were they acting so bizarrely? Why did they treat me like I’m… Hanson’s girlfriend? I’m Vania, not Melanie. After complaining to herself deep down, she let out a sigh and gazed at Hanson who was lying on the bed in the ward.

At that moment, the ward was left with only the two of them in it as the atmosphere was filled with a silence that drowned out all the noises except their breathing. At the same time, Hanson felt a strong urge to open his eyes and admire her beautiful looks, but he restrained himself from doing so.

Meanwhile, Vania carefully observed Hanson’s face when there was finally no one else around and realized his red cheeks were a little feverish along with his sweaty forehead. Thus, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise as she placed her hand on his forehead. Oh, dear! He is having a fever. This isn’t looking good.

In the meantime, the lady’s caring gesture filled Hanson’s heart with excitement and thrill. Feeling the lady’s cold palm and soft skin, he was tempted to grab her hand and caressed it. Meanwhile, Vania sighed helplessly and turned around after feeling the man’s feverish forehead, making her way to the washroom.

When Hanson heard her footsteps, he opened his eyes and peeked at her. He could tell from the same outfit she was wearing that she must have left home in a hurry, but despite that, he found himself growing closer to Vania more than ever before like they had been living together for ages. A

few seconds later, the man closed his eyes in a satisfied manner, worried that the lady would see through his pretense.

Not long after that, Vania returned with a cold towel with which she wiped off the sweat on his face while glancing at the door to see whether April was back. Come on, when are you coming back, April? Hanson has a high fever now, and if I don’t do something to cool him down, his health may get worse.
