Chris, Ross, and Tommy were there to visit Nelly after they heard that something had happened to her. When they were joking with one another, the door opened with a bang, and they turned toward the door in surprise. Alpha Kilian stood at the door.
He had met Chris, Ross, and Tommy before, so he knew that they were Nelly’s colleagues. A hint of awkwardness lingered in the air. At that moment, Ross asked in a hushed voice, “Ms. Jackson, do you hate each other this much?” Nelly was speechless. She glanced at Alpha Kilian unhappily.
Tommy, who was sensible, chuckled and said, “Alpha Morris, are you here to visit Ms. Jackson too?” “Mm.” Alpha Kilian nodded slightly. He was truly thick-skinned. Despite the awkwardness, he was able to act as if nothing had happened and walked into the ward.
“Haha! So are we,” Tommy replied with an awkward smile. “You guys can go ahead first.” Alpha Kilian gestured with his outstretched hand and walked toward the couch before sitting down.
Um… Do we need to line up on a first come first served basis when we visit someone in the hospital? Tommy looked at Alpha Kilian, who was sitting at the side. “Alpha Morris, would you like to go first?” Alpha Kilian lifted his head lazily to look at Tommy and acted like a gentleman. “It’s fine. I have all the time in the world. Please go on.”
Huh? How long did he mean by that? Tommy didn’t dare to ask it out loud, so he continued to smile awkwardly.
Right then, Ross looked at Nelly and asked her in a whisper, “Ms. Jackson, he’s not planning on doing something to you after we leave, right?” Despite Ross’ whisper, Alpha Kilian could still hear him. Alpha Kilian raised his eyebrows slightly. He pretended not to hear it and took out his phone to do something.
Nelly looked at Ross. “How about you stay for a while?” “I’m afraid that he’ll do something to me later.” If outsiders got involved with the grudge of prominent families, the former would be the ones to suffer.
Nelly rolled her eyes at Ross and continued their conversation earlier. “Why did you guys come here all of a sudden?” “What do you mean? You haven’t shown up in the office for two days, so we have to find out what’s wrong! I only found out that something serious had happened to you after asking Donna about it!” Ross said. “Why didn’t you tell us when something this major happened to you?”
“It’s nothing serious. What’s there to talk about?” Nelly didn’t even think that it was a serious matter at all. “Ms. Jackson, you’re a woman, after all. Can’t you be a bit more feminine? You can’t embarrass us men like this?”
Nelly frowned. “More feminine? How do I do that?” “You know, be gentler and act cute when you speak. Natty wants to eat yummy food. Natty wants to go to bed. Something like that…”
“Natty is f*cking pissed off?” Ross was at a loss for words. Alpha Kilian, who was doing something at the side, couldn’t help himself from chuckling when he heard what she said. Nelly was the only one who could say something as crude as that with a straight face.
Such was her personality despite her angel-like appearance. However, at that moment, Alpha Kilian couldn’t help but think she was very adorable.
As soon as he chuckled, everyone looked in his direction. He didn’t lift his head. Instead, he looked at his phone seriously as if his chuckle had nothing to do with their conversation. The rest of them looked away.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Ross turned to Nelly. “Just pretend that I never said that.” Tommy said, “You’re lucky that Natty didn’t ask you to f*ck off!” “I was going to say that,” Nelly said while looking at Tommy.
Tommy shrugged. “See?” “I got ahead of myself,” Ross said.
Suddenly, Chris looked at Nelly and piped up, “One doesn’t cry out in pain, not because they can’t feel the pain, but because they know no one cares about them and it’s useless.” Hearing that, everyone fell silent and turned to look at him. Alpha Kilian frowned too when he heard that.
“Chris, you’ve reached a new height just by saying that!” Ross commented. “Do you really have to make it sound so sad?” Tommy asked. Chris smiled bitterly before looking at Nelly. “Boss, no matter what happens in the future, you can ask for my help. I’ll come to you without hesitation. You and Celia are the two most important people to me in the whole wide world.”
Alpha Kilian frowned even more as he sat at the side. Nelly looked at Chris, and a hesitant look flashed across her delicate and beautiful face. In the end, she replied straightforwardly, “Indeed, he’s reached a new height, and very high up at that!” “I’m serious!” Chris had a solemn look on his face.
Nelly nodded half-heartedly. “Okay, okay. I get it.”
Seeing that, Ross and Tommy quickly expressed their loyalty to her. “Ms. Jackson, you can look for me too! You’ll be the most important person to me as well!” “Ms. Wealthy, look at me! I’ll lay down my life for you too!” “Stay the f*ck away from Nelly!”
Ross and Tommy were stunned silent. Ugh, fine. There is a disparity between people in this world. Seeing how Ross, Chris, Tommy, and Nelly were having a good time, Alpha Kilian, who was at the side, felt like an extra.
Only when he cleared his throat did they realize that he was still there. All of them exchanged glances, and it was Chris who took the hint as he looked at Nelly and said, “Well, Boss, it’s getting late. If there isn’t anything else, we’ll make a move first. We’ll be waiting for you in the office. Get well soon.”
“We’re leaving already?” Tommy asked. We’re not finished yet! Ross pushed him lightly. Idiot. Can’t you see that Alpha Morris is chasing us away? Finally, realization dawned on Tommy. He glanced at Alpha Kilian, then quickly flashed Nelly a sheepish smile. “That’s right. That’s right! It’s getting late. We’ll make a move first. Someone’s still waiting for his turn.”
Everyone was dumfounded. Seeing that Nelly had uncovered her sheets and was about to get off the bed, Tommy said, “Ms. Wealthy, you don’t have to see us off. You’re still hurt. We’ll leave by ourselves.”
Nelly looked at him and emphasized each word as she said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Uh… Tommy smiled. “O-Okay, then. We’ll get going now.”
After saying that to her, he turned to look at Alpha Kilian. “Goodbye, Alpha Morris.” Alpha Kilian stood up nonchalantly and asked, “You’re leaving already?”
Don’t you feel guilty for asking us that? Do you think we’d leave now if it weren’t for you? Tommy refuted the man in his mind. With a polite smile, he said aloud, “Yes. It’s already dark outside. We have to make a move.”
Alpha Kilian nodded. “Goodbye, and please see yourself out.” “O-Of course.”
With that, the three of them hurriedly walked out. Although Nelly had told them she was going to the washroom, she eventually sent them off until they reached the door of her ward.
Feeling touched, Tommy said, “As expected of Ms. Wealthy. You’re tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You said that you were going to the washroom, but you still insisted on sending us off. Ms. Wealthy, you have to get well soon! It’s too boring in the office without you!” Nelly rubbed her temple and said to Ross, “Can you knock him out? He’s too annoying!”
“Got it!” With that, Ross lunged at Tommy. They continued bantering for a bit in the corridor. It was then Caroline walked out of Lara’s ward. She turned in their direction subconsciously when she heard a commotion. When she saw Nelly from afar, she frowned. What is she doing here?
