Lahat ng Kabanata ng Yearning for Her Return : Kabanata 521 - Kabanata 530

After Randy left the master bedroom, David dared not waste any time. He began packing things at once, like simple changes of clothes and toiletries. Naturally, it wasn't his job to bring those items to the hospital. He only packed the bag and put it aside. David would ask the hotel employees to deliver it to the hospital later. His only responsibility was to look after Rebecca. After packing everything, he wrapped her in a thin blanket before carrying her out the door.Many people came to the hospital early in the morning. They were there to deliver lunch boxes and meals to their families, so the wait for the elevator was long.David didn't have to squeeze into an elevator with everyone. He had subordinates in Fairport. Plus, this was a private hospital that valued moneyed patrons first. So, the hospital had prepared a private VIP ward for Rebecca when they were on their way here.As for Randy, who joined them, he had to endure a lot. Not only did he have to go with the two, but

Rebecca slowly woke up in the afternoon.During that time, she wasn't entirely unconscious. She was aware of the nurse changing her IV, and she had a faint recollection of David speaking softly by her side.However, her mind remained hazy, and she couldn't discern the details.It wasn't until after lunch, with her head throbbing on an empty stomach, that she couldn't bear it any longer and decided to open her eyes.Rebecca turned her head and spotted David, who was drifting off in the chair with his hands cradling his head.He was tall and lean, and it seemed oddly cramped as he reclined into the chair.Rebecca couldn't understand why he opted to sit in the chair instead of the nearby couch.If he had only been seated briefly, that would be one thing. However, remaining in such an uncomfortable position for an extended period must have caused discomfort in his legs and back.She furrowed her brows and called out to him in a hoarse voice, "David ..."David's slumber was shallow

Rebecca struggled to find the right words.How could she describe it? It was like the sensation after stepping out of a warm bath—cool and refreshing. It was akin to strolling through sweltering streets on a summer day, and then suddenly entering an air-conditioned mall and sipping on a cold drink. After being teased by David for a while, his unexpected tenderness took her by surprise. However, that feeling only lasted for a brief moment and quickly faded. As David continued to look at her and urged her to explain herself, Rebecca found herself at a loss. After a moment of eye contact with David, Rebecca finally managed to blurt out a few words. "You ... look handsome." David was momentarily rendered speechless. After a brief pause, he burst into laughter. He settled onto the couch next to Rebecca. He crossed his legs and leaned back in a very relaxed posture as he observed her. His voice had an equally nonchalant tone. "So, are you saying you don't usually find me att

In fact, a hint of guilt had lingered within Rebecca when she had disposed of those two pills in the bathroom the previous night.She couldn't shake the feeling that she had betrayed David's trust. This guilt left her with mixed emotions when confronted by his kindness today. However, the text message she had seen in the afternoon completely eradicated her guilt and unease. It revealed his true intentions—to exert complete control over her, even if it meant turning her into a mindless fool. How could she continue to stay by his side? How could she foolishly indulge in those fleeting moments of 'kindness'? It might have been the genuine emotions that had developed between them during their time together, or perhaps it was an attempt to eliminate the last shreds of hope from her heart. Regardless of the reason, Rebecca couldn't help but ask him, "David, what kind of job do you think I should look for once we're abroad? “You mentioned earlier that I used to work in design,

When David came out of the bathroom, he noticed that Rebecca was slouched on the couch. A pillow was covering her face.Apparently, she had truly fallen asleep. She didn't even flinch at the sound of his movements. "Becca?" David called her, but she remained oblivious. Rebecca was slouched in the corner of the couch. A soft pillow was supporting her head. Her face was turned towards the backrest, and she hadn't budged an inch. David couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. After all, she had told him to rest if he felt tired, and now she was the one who was resting. However, she was sick, so he couldn't really blame her. David approached and bent down slightly. However, as his outstretched arm was about to reach Rebecca, he suddenly remembered something and straightened up. His own quick shower in the bathroom had not been as thorough as Rebecca's meticulous routine. He had simply rinsed himself off. Since he had used cold water, his skin still felt a little cold.
