Trap me in your love

Chapter 51 Bill's Love

"You are awake. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay. I'm used to it."

"……"

Jessie looked at Bill's pale face. She felt very sorry for him, but she didn't know what to say.

When she arrived at the hospital just now, she heard the doctor say 'how come it happened again'. At first, she wondered why the doctor would say something like that as if he was very familiar with him.

Now that he said he had been used to it, she understood why the doctor said that.

"I remember that you were in good health before, but why did you suddenly have a heart attack?" Jessie asked out of curiosity. She remembered that he had said that he wanted to join the army, just like his grandfather, to be a soldier, to protect his family and defend the country.

A bitter smile appeared on Bill's face. He said in a light voice, "I'm tired." Then he closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything more.

In the doctor's office

"Doctor, how about Leo Xu? I remember that he didn't have heart disease before. Why did he suddenly...?"

She gave the name Leo to him when they were in primary school, in order to take part in the summer camp. She thought he didn't use it. She didn't expect that he was still using this name.

"Are you his family?" The doctor asked in doubt. He hadn't seen his family member since he became his patient three years ago. He was really curious about this Chinese girl.

Jessie answered, "I'm his friend."

The doctor nodded. He didn't believe it.

"Leo's heart disease wasn't congenital. He overworked and resulting in excessive heart load and myocardial infarction."

"Overwork?" How could it be?

"Yes. Long-term overwork, pressure from study, irregular and unhealthy daily life, violent drinking or disorderly eating would have an adverse impact. Besides, his heart is incomplete. He had left ventricular defect. It is lucky for him to be alive till now."

"……"

Jessie was stunned. She couldn't believe it.

Did he have a heart problem?!

How was that possible?

They often went to jogging and rope skipping when they were young. She could still recall the times they were swimming together. How could he have an incomplete heart?

If he had a heart problem, he definitely couldn't do such strenuous exercise.

Bill, what on earth are you hiding from me!

Besides, did he work so hard because of her?

Bill said he worked hard in order to buy an apartment for her. Jessie felt very bad.

He had done so much for her. How could she be so cruel to him!

'Jessie, you are a bad person.' She thought to herself.

When she opened the ward's door and saw Bill was about to get up, Jessie quickly walked up to him, held him up, and asked softly, "How do you feel now? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"No, I'm not hungry. Jessie, why are your eyes red? What happened?"

Jessie shook her head. The more she tried to suppress her bad mood, the more sorrow she felt in her heart.

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

After so many years, he missed her very much. When he saw Jessie crying sadly, Bill was overwhelmed.

He comforted her, "Jessie, why are you crying? I'm sorry. Did I scare you? Come on, don't cry. You see, I'm all right now."

"I have just talked with the doctor. Why don't you take good care of yourself? Look at you, haven't you thought about your family? If they know what you did, they will be worried."

Jessie glared at Bill with tears on her face. Her sorrow and sympathy were written all over her face.

Anyway, he couldn't bear the pain alone. He couldn't hide the truth from everyone.

He didn't trust her at all!

Love was trust and honesty. How could he say he loved her?

"I..." Bill was about to speak, but saying nothing. He just stared at the woman in front of him.

After a while, he said, "Jessie, I'm sorry! I..."

"Bill, you don't have to say sorry. As long as you are fine, it's better than anything else! Do you remember?"

Bill giggled and nodded.

After so many years, seeing that Jessie still cared about him so much, Bill felt so happy and moved that he had never felt before.

Half a month ago, he visited the Lin family. When he learned that the Lin family and the Lan family were united by marriage, he was desperate.

However, when he saw that Mark took the prostitute of TP into his room that night, he was sure that Jessie was not happy!

She didn't love him at all!

Their marriage was nothing more than a show.

Now he knew.

She still cared about him in her heart.

He put his warm hand on her delicate face and wiped the tears from her face gently with his finger. The temperature came from the palm, as if it came from the cheek to the heart. Jessie felt hot.

He looked at Jessie. She was shy. Bill raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you cry because you are worried about me?"

"……" Jessie looked down and didn't answer.

The ambiguous feeling was like a kitten scratching her heart. She felt comfortable, but not comfortable at the same time.

Both of them were silent. The room was surrounded by an ambiguous atmosphere.

Bill smiled and looked at her quietly. Slowly, he leaned his head to her. Just when his lips were about to touch her, Jessie turned away to avoid his kiss.

Bill didn't get it. He could feel her love for him, but why she refused his kiss?!

After thinking for a while, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I was too anxious."

Jessie looked at him and didn't say anything. She had no idea how to respond.

She had been looking forward to it, but her last sanity pulled her back.

She knew that five years could change anything. Even five years later, they still liked each other and missed each other. Everything had changed.

She was a woman married. If she accepted his love without scruple, she wouldn't forgive herself. They could not do this.

"Well... There's no hot water here. Let me get you some." After that, she picked up a thermos bottle from the night stand and walked out before Bill could say anything.

Bill leaned against the bedside and smiled. He really didn't expect that Jessie would be as innocent as before. She even flushed when he was about to kiss her.

The phone rang and Bill answered it.

"How's it going?"

"I have just seen it and there is no progress."

"Hurry up! If you still want to save your family, don't play tricks with me!"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
