To the Love of My Life

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: The Most Romantic Proposal (6)
 

While talking, Madeleine brought the porridge to the bedside, took the spoon, and fed it to Howard.

The moment the spoon touched Howard’s lips, he suddenly jerked his head away, giving Madeleine a fleeting, indifferent glance.

The moment Madeleine’s eyes met Howard’s, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, snapping her out of her excited state.@@novelbin@@

Even if he had taken a knife for her, it didn’t necessarily mean he had stopped hating her.

Madeleine’s smile froze on her face. She tightly clutched the bowl in her hand, then lowered her gaze, set the bowl aside, and said in a stilted, lifeless voice, “I’ll go find the doctor.”

She then quickly turned and left the ward.

Howard waited for the door to close and Madeleine to leave the ward before turning his head to look at the bowl of medicine porridge Madeleine had just prepared. He swallowed hard and closed his eyes.

Soon, the doctor arrived at the ward and gave Howard a full-body examination.

However, Madeleine did not return to the ward.

Even after the doctors had all left, she still didn’t come back.

Having just woken up, Howard felt somewhat exhausted. He lay quietly on his hospital bed for a while, then closed his eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.

After waking up for the first time since the incident, Howard woke up more frequently, seeing Madeleine by his bed each time he opened his eyes.

He never saw Madeleine asleep beside his bed like the first time he woke up.

Every time he opened his eyes, Madeleine would say, “I’ll go find the doctor,” before he could speak and then leave the ward.

Not long after, a nurse would come in to take his temperature and feed him. He wouldn’t see Madeleine again until he fell back to sleep.

The longest time Howard and Madeleine spent together in the ward to date was when Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory visited the hospital.

That was four days after Howard had woken up, and the stitches on the wound on his back had just been removed.

That day was just seven days before Ruby Gregory’s birthday.

Although Steve, Ruby, and Howard had grown up together and were as close as siblings, Steve still followed Ruby’s wishes and had the driver bring some supplements for Howard when they visited.

When Ruby and Steve arrived at the entrance of Howard’s ward, he had just woken up from his afternoon nap. As before, Madeleine left the ward using her usual excuse, only to bump head-on into Ruby and Steve, who were about to knock on the door.

Madeleine left the ward every time Howard woke up because she knew he hated her and didn’t want to see her ever again.

So, even when Rusell Henris and Edward Woods came to visit Howard, she would hide away.

However, today Ruby had come, so Madeleine stayed behind.

When Ruby and Steve left Howard’s ward, night had fallen and it was close to dinner time.

Steve drove Ruby back to the West Suburb Villa, but the road out of town was congested. Steve’s foot kept switching between the brake and the accelerator until finally, the car simply came to a standstill.

As Ruby was feeling bored, she spotted a beautiful scene through the car window.
