Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Esther!”

“You don’t have to call me. I just won’t go.”

Terence had never felt so irritable before, but Terence felt worried after seeing the injury on Esther’s hand and Esther’s stubbornness.

In the end, Terence could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a few words, “Alright, I’ll go.”

Esther was secretly delighted. Esther didn’t expect that Terence would compromise with Esther.

But then, Terence added, “But I won’t accept your blood. You can give up.”

“Why?”

“No reason. I just don’t want to give you a chance to please me.”

Esther speechlessly rolled her eyes and said, “Terence, can you be a little more narcissistic?”

…

In the end, Esther and Terence still came to the hospital together.

It was not until Esther saw Terence put on the drip that Esther followed the doctor to the treatment room to treat the wound on Esther’s hand.

“Go and accompany Esther,” Terence, who was leaning against the bed, said to Miss Young.

Miss Young glanced at the direction Esther left in and smiled, “Miss Esther is so healthy and strong that she doesn’t need company.”

Terence glanced at Miss Young and did not speak.

Miss Young continued to smile and said, “Mr. Terence, did Miss Esther not faint because of you last night? And did Miss Esther insist on feeding you the tranquilizer?”

“Yes,” Terence nodded.

“Isn’t this Miss Esther a little too bold? Isn’t Miss Esther afraid…?” Miss Young exclaimed in a low voice, “aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself and bite Miss Esther to death? Moreover, Miss Esther has already been bitten by you once. Miss Esther should know how dangerous you are when you suffer a relapse.”

It was not surprising that Miss Young made a fuss. Terence also felt quite puzzled.

Last night, in order not to hurt Esther, Terence had already taken the initiative to lock the bedroom door. Unexpectedly, after knowing that Terence was ill, not only was Esther not afraid, Esther even smashed the door of the room.

Although Terence could not remember what happened later, Terence knew very well how dangerous Terence was.

At that critical moment, any ordinary woman would be scared out of their wits and turn around to escape. Not only did Esther not run away, Esther even insisted on staying by Terence’s side to serve Terence and feed Terence medicine to prevent Terence from self-harming.

“I always thought that Miss Esther was very gentle and weak. Miss Esther was always bullied by you, but Miss Esther didn’t resist. I didn’t expect Miss Esther to be so strong at critical times,” Miss Young smiled and said.

Terence slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Miss Young, “What did you say? I always bully Esther?”

It was obvious that Terence did not like Miss Young’s words.

“Isn’t it?” Miss Young asked, “you’ve been married for so long, but you don’t get along well for a few days. If Esther’s not angry with you, then you’re deliberately angering Esther. You look like you want to kill the other party.”

Miss Young curled her lips, “I thought you all hated each other so much. It seems that it is not necessarily the case.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Last night, Terence went to see Esther in the rain. Today, Terence was willing to submit to the hospital for Esther. It was enough to see that Terence cared about Esther, and not just a little bit of feelings.

Esther had always been on Terence’s side, but this stubborn Terence always made things difficult for Esther about Esther and James’s past.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something Mr. Terence doesn’t like to hear?” Miss Young saw Terence’s depressed expression and asked cautiously.

Terence looked up at Miss Young and suddenly asked, “Am I that hard to get along with?”

Miss Young was stunned by Terence’s question and immediately replied, “It’s hard to say. It’s just that it’s hard to get along with occasionally.”

“When is it occasionally?” Terence asked.

Miss Young smiled, “Mr. Terence, are you trying to change yourself?”

Normally, Terence did not have the patience to talk to Miss Young about personal matters, and Terence even took the initiative to continue chatting with Miss Young.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward. Terence and Miss Young in the ward turned around and saw Esther standing by the door. Esther said somewhat uncomfortably, “Did I disturb you two?”

“Miss Esther doesn’t disturb us. Mr. Terence and I are not talking about work,” Miss Young smiled.

“Ok,” Esther walked in and sized Terence up, “Terence, do you feel better?”

“Much better,” After Terence finished speaking, Terence looked at Esther’s left hand, “the wound has been treated?”

“Yes, it has been dealt with,” Esther raised her palm.

After being professionally bandaged by the doctor, the gauze on Esther’s wound looked much more beautiful and less painful.

Miss Young looked at Esther and Terence and said, “I’ll go back to the company first. The driver will come and send the two of you home later.”

“Thanks, Miss Young,” Esther said. Esther remembered that Miss Young had helped Terence look for Esther last night. Esther said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve always troubled Miss Young.”

Miss Young shrugged, “I’m here to receive my salary. Miss Esther, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Of course, Esther knew this, but Miss Young was Terence’s assistant, not a living assistant, so Esther would still feel embarrassed.

After Miss Young left, Esther poured a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to Terence, “Drink more water so you can recover quickly.”

“Are you coaxing me like a child?” Terence glanced at the cup in Esther’s hand.

Esther was speechless, but Esther didn’t take the cup back, “Anyway, drinking more water is good for the body. Drink it.”

Terence didn’t make things difficult for Esther. Terence took the cup of water and took a sip, then looked up at Esther and said, “Since you are injured, you don’t have to wait on me here. Go home first or find a place to rest.”

“I’m not sleepy,” Esther shook her head.

How could Esther not be sleepy? Looking at the dark circles on Esther’s face, Terence knew that Esther had not slept last night.

However, Terence was too lazy to expose Esther’s lies. Terence only lightly said, “Next time you see me fall ill, stay away from me. I can make it through by myself.”

Esther thought, ‘Terence can make it through by himself? How can Terence make it in that kind of situation? Even if Terence makes it through, Terence will be scarred, right?’

“Don’t think of your silly behavior as a hero. I won’t be grateful to you or touched by your behavior,” Terence added.

Esther looked at Terence and nodded after a moment, “This is exactly what I wanted to say to Mr. Terence. Mr. Terence, remember this. In the future, regardless of whether my phone can be connected or not, and whether or not I go home at night, you don’t have to run out to find me, especially on a rainy night like last night. When I want to go home, I will go back.”
