Chapter 28: I-It Hurts Like Crazy!
At the Peace Hospital.
The doctors had diagnosed Sharon with acute appendicitis and immediately arranged for surgery.
After the operation, Sharon remained unconscious as the effects of the anaesthetic have yet to pass.
"Mr. Lefebvre, Sharon's case is not that bad. She should be able to get the sutures out and leave in a
week."
The director of the hospital, Denis Wu, had personally operated on Sharon's surgery.
Denis could not stand to look at Leonard, who had been carrying a dark look ever since he carried
Sharon into the hospital.
Peace Hospital belonged to the Bonnet Group, whose president was Daniel Bonnet. While Denis may
be the hospital director in name, Daniel was the one who held all the real power.
The Lefebvre family of the Four Great Families has always been on good terms with the Bonnet family,
especially when it came to Leonard and Daniel.
...
Knowing his power in Montreal and his relationship with Daniel, Denis made sure to serve Leonard
well.
Leonard's face was void of emotions except for the furrow in his brows.
Denis stared at Leonard carefully before whispering, "I'll take my leave now. Please let me know if
there's anything you need."
"Alright."
Receiving Leonard's approval, Denis rushed out of the depressing room, relieved.
It was most probably Denis who told Daniel about the situation. Daniel, in turn, must have informed
Oliver and Paul because right after Denis left the room, the three men soon arrived at the hospital.
...
To avoid waking Sharon, the three men waited outside the room instead.
...
Leonard stepped out to exchange some words with them.
After knowing that Sharon was fine, the three men left shortly, each busy with their own matters.
About half an hour after Daniel and the other two left, Sharon's anaesthetic wore off, and her lower right
abdomen began to throb.
Awoken by the pain, Sharon opened her eyes to see Leonard sitting by the end of the bed. Instantly,
the pain seemed to recede.
...
"How do you feel?" Seeing that she was awake, Leonard shifted closer to her bed and held her hand
gently, frowning.
Sharon had been about to say that it hurts, but at the sight of his worried expression, she changed her
mind. "It's fine."
Leonard scanned her pale face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The doctor prescribed
some painkillers, but since you said it's fine, I guess there's no need for them."
"Wait!" Sharon frantically reached out to grab onto Leonard's thumb. "I-It hurts! It hurts like crazy!"
Her voice was piteous like a homeless kitten.
Looking at her current state, Leonard did not know whether to be distressed or amused.
He bent over and landed a gentle kiss on Sharon's reddened eyes, his lips slightly cool.
The moment his lips touched her eyelid, Sharon gave a violent jolt, her heart skipping a beat.
She brought her fingers up to gently touch her lips as she stared at Leonard in a daze, watching him
move back.
Leonard gazed at her dazed expression and brushed his finger along the bridge of her nose. Giving her
a gentle tug on her lip, Leonard stood up to get the painkillers.
By the time Leonard returned with the medicine and a glass of warm water, Sharon was still frozen in
her stupor.
Leonard broke out into a small smile at the sight before bringing a pill to her mouth.
Sharon opened her mouth mechanically. Leonard raised an eyebrow before placing the pill in her
mouth. He then put a straw in the glass of water and placed it at her lips.
Sharon accepted it and started drinking. By the time the glass was almost empty, she still had not
swallowed the pill.
The water had melted the pill on her tongue and a bitter taste permeated throughout her mouth.
The taste finally shook Sharon out of her reverie, and she scowled, looking like she was about to spit
the pill out.
Leonard's brows furrowed as he quickly reached out his hand.
Sharon ended up spitting the melted pill into Leonard's palm, along with her saliva!
Sharon was shocked and covered her mouth with a hand. She blushed, staring at Leonard to see his
reaction.
However, Leonard did not seem to mind. He merely wiped his hand with a tissue and gave her a new
pill. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
This time, Sharon's face was red, but she finally managed to wash the pill down.
After making sure she had swallowed the medicine properly, Leonard said softly, "Get some rest."
"What about you?" Sharon asked in a low voice.
"I'll stay with you." The corners of Leonard's mouth lifted upwards as he looked at her, his eyes gentle.
Sharon started getting light-headed from the look he was giving her.
