All Chapters of A night with the Ruthless Mr. Andreev: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

“I just hope I’d fulfill your wish, Callum.”Hindi ‘yon nakaligtas sa kanyang pandinig.Gusto niya itong tanungin. He wanted to ask where she’s going to. Ngunit pinipigilan niya ang kanyang sarili. Pinapangunahan siya ng takot at pagtatampo para rito. Takot kasi baka sa oras na manumbat siya ay aalis na ito. Pagtatampo dahil… she has all the time in the world, but she still didn’t say anything.And as she walked past him, her natural, enticing scent filled his nostrils. Kusang pumikit ang kanyang mga mata nang malanghap niya ang pabangong ‘yon.She shouldn’t notice it the first time she smelled and behaved different.Nang tuluyan na itong makalabas ay pinanood niya lamang itong umalis. May kung anong pumiga sa kanyang dibdib matapos makita ang pag-alis ng sasakyan nito. Hindi niya na kailangan pang magtanong kung sino ang may-ari ng van na ‘yon.“I only said I don’t want to talk to you,” he whispered. “I didn’t ask you to leave me.”For the very first time in his life, he felt this kin

TINUMBA niya ang bote sa kanyang harapan at humugot ng malalim na hininga. Hindi na niya alam kung pang-ilang bote na ‘yon ng alak. Ramdam niya ang paninitig sa kanya ni Axton ngunit wala lang sa kanya ito.His sibling wouldn’t understand what he’s feeling right now. Dahil kahit minsan ay hindi pa ito umibig. And it’s understandable. Kasi siya rin naman, e. This is his first time feeling this kind of feeling to a woman.At sa babaeng niloloko pa siya.“What are you sulking about?” bagot na tanong sa kanya ni Axton. “Your wife is home. What the fvck do you mean she left?”Hindi rin pala nito alam ang tungkol sa kung ano ang nangyari at mga nalaman niya.“You don’t understand,” he replied.Umismid lang ang kapatid at inabala ang sarili sa paglalaro sa phone nito.Wala siyang ni isang kaibigang tinawagan. But it seems like his sibling knew he needed someone right now, that’s why Axton cancelled every meeting he has for tonight and headed here just to sit and watch him get himself drunk.M

“WHAT ARE you doing here, Veronica?”Halos mapugto ang kanyang hininga nang marinig ‘yon sa binata. She tried to push him off, only for him to put his weight above her. Masyadong mabigat si Callum, lalo na’t lasing ito.Pansin niya ang panay na paghugot ng malalim na hininga ng binata, it was like he’s trying to inhale her scent. Good thing she put on her favorite perfume. But still, this is not good.Alam na ni Callum na siya si Veronica. This man knew she existed. At ‘yun ang nakakapagpatigil sa tibok ng kanyang dibdib. She wanted to deny that fact, but a part of her is somewhat happy to know what he knew she existed.That Veronica existed.However, that’s not what’s important now. Kailangan na niyang makaalis. It’s not safe for her to stay here any longer.With all the strength, left in her, she pushed him off. Parang nakahinga naman siya ng maluwang nang magawa niya ‘yon. She then slowly got up, afraid she might wake him up. Ngunit ganoon na lang ang kanyang gulat nang biglang haw

TAHIMIK NA nakikinig si Callum sa kanyang mga kasamang doctor na nag-uusap tungkol sa viral niyang awake surgery last time. It was actually something to brag about. Sa Pinas, siya pa lamang ang nakakagawa non, rush pa. If it wasn’t rush, then his patient probably lost his life by now.“Are you okay to take an apprentice, Mr. Andreev?” pabirong wika ng isang doctor na hindi niya kilala ngunit alam niyang na sa neurosurgery rin.“I’m sorry, but no,” agad na sagot ni Xiao Mei, his date for tonight. “He doesn’t take apprentice.”Bakas ang gulat sa mukha ng kanyang mga kasamahan at tinignan siya. Tanging ngiti na lamang ang kanyang sinagot dito. Wala siyang panahon sa mga ganito.Right now, all he just wanted to do is to go and take a rest. Kung hindi lang talaga itong importanteng event, hindi na sana siyang magpupunta. But this event is a very important event. Bukod sa dala niya ang pangalan ng kanyang ospital, kailangan niya rin talagang magpunta para mag-donate sa isang charity mamaya.

BINALOT ng katahimikan ang mesa kung saan sila nakapwesto. They doctors are switching glances from her to Luka, to Callum. Ramdam niya rin ang mabilis na pagkabog ng kanyang dibdib at ang paghigpit ng kanyang pagkakahawak sa braso ng kanyang kasama.Mukhang napansin ito ni Luka dahil agad nitong hinawakan ang kanyang kamay at taas noong tumingin kay Callum.“You must be mistaken,” pagbabasag ni Luka sa nakakabinging katahimikan. “This woman beside me is a nurse from my hospital who’ve been working for me for the last two years. This is the first time she took a step in this country. How could that be?”“Then how can you explain this?”Callum pulled out his phone from his pocket and swiped it open.Pinakita nito ang kanyang home screen at mas lalong nagkagulo ang pagtibok ng kanyang dibdib nang makita ang larawan na nandoon.It wasn’t Venice. It was her! She was sleeping… her head was resting on his arms!“Oh?” agad na komento ng isang doctor at tumingin sa kanya. “She looks like the o
