Wolf President Hooks Up

Chapter223: Gratitude and Guilt



: Gratitude and Guilt

Sally looked at Elaine and dared not to say anything else.

At nightfall, Elaine slowly became herself again.

She washed her face and combed her hair. When she walked out of the bathroom, she could already squeeze out a pale smile.

“Sally, do I look like a patient being like this?”

Sally looked at Elaine in shock. She felt utterly embarrassed now.

She didn’t look like a patient but a ghost!

Her face was swollen, and her eyes were as big as copper bells. She could only see through a thin gap. She looked hideous!

“Elaine, I would suggest that you should not go out at night.”

So as not to scare passers-by...

Elaine froze for a minute and then said with a bit anger, “What? Aren’t you being dramatic?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sally grinned and was still worried. She asked tentatively,

“Elaine. As for Emmett....you don’t feel sad anymore?”

Elaine froze, and then lowered her head, muttering,

“I do feel sad...But, I can’t just cling to the sadness for my whole life. I, I don’t really like him. I just... feel angry and sad about being cheated and played by him. It’s true. I really don’t like him. I like my Mark...Anyway, what’s happened has happened. I finally know him as who he is. I have cried enough.

Starting from now, I don’t know anyone who is named Emmett Smith anymore. He doesn’t exist to me any longer.”

Elaine kept telling herself these. But then she felt her nose tingle again, so she rubbed on her nose in a hard way.

Elaine, you can’t make a habit of crying!

You must be tough!

Sally froze and then smiled.

“You are truly our tough Elaine. You are so resilient. Then I should rest myself!”

Elaine faked a smile, “Relax. Don’t worry about me. I am fine! By the way, after what had happened to me, you didn’t even tell Hazel?”

“I did. But the call didn’t go through to her. I called her when you checked into the hospital last night. Her phone was dead. I couldn’t find her.”

“What? Her best friend was in hospital, and she didn’t even come visit! I am so angry! Let’s go find her and make her pay. Let her treat us with a feast!”

Elaine tried to make herself look happier. She tried to behave naturally. So her smile was quite exaggerated.

But she didn’t know how stiff her smile was to other people.

Her smile was even uglier than her sad face.

This was how Elaine looked like right now.

Sally thought about something and said, “Elaine, Master Young left before and didn’t come back. The way he looked wasn’t good. He seemed very sad. How about you call him and ask what’s wrong with him. After all, he has always been around and helping you. He even arranged this hospital for you and paid for your medical treatment.”

Elaine sighed. She remembered vaguely why Oliver left before.

Elaine nodded and took out her phone, dialing Oliver’s number.

Actually, when she saw this new phone bought for her by Emmett, her heart was already hurting, which couldn’t be controlled by her.

It turned out that, when the heart was hurting, it couldn’t be controlled by its owner.

Just like now. Elaine had already commanded her heart to stop thinking about someone specifically. But her heart just kept doing it by itself.

And when the heart thought about him, it hurt like hell.

Oliver stood alone on the rooftop to face the wind. He stood there for almost several hours. He looked like a sad statue now.

Then the phone in his pocket rang. When he heard the love song, he came to himself again.

That love song...It only rang up when someone specifically called.

“Em?” Oliver couldn’t believe it. He looked at his phone.

It was indeed Elaine! His darling!

He was quite excited now.

Because Elaine almost never called him.

After other women knew the number of Master Young, they wished to call him hundreds of times a day or text him dozens of times to tell him how much they loved him.

Only Elaine didn’t bother to respond to him and knocked him to a freezing zone.

“Hello?” Oliver took in a breath and tried to make himself sound softer.

“Oliver, where are you?”

Elaine’s soft voice came into Oliver’s ears, which almost made him limp.

“Me? I am on the rooftop to get some air. What’s wrong?”

“Are you far from me?”

“No, no. Of course not! I am very close to your ward! I will get you whatever you need!”

Such a disgrace. He was Master Young. When did he ever grovel at a woman’s feet?

He was like a dog who begged to run errands for her.

“Oh, I see. Then come back. I want to check out of the hospital. I am fine now. I want to go home.”

“Check out of the hospital? Why are you in such a hurry? How about you stay in the hospital for a few more days and wait until you are completely fine?

“No, I am really fine now. The doctor said I could check out too. It’s no fun being here. I want to go home.”

“Oh, okay then! I will be right back.”

Oliver answered to her quickly and then hung up the phone. He turned around immediately and run back.

Bang! Because he was in such a hurry, he bumped into a glass door. It hurt so much that his face twisted due to the pain. He took in a deep breath.

Then he threw away the cigarette in his hand, and strode along the passage in hospital.

When he was walking, he stopped suddenly. He looked around and found a bathroom. Then he walked to it and looked into the mirror, sorting out his hair.

Then he washed his hands carefully and walked to Elaine’s ward.

Suddenly, he saw a young nurse who was chewing gum. He thought of something and walked to her. He smiled dazzlingly,

“Beauty, do you have more chewing gum? Can you give me one pic?”

The young nurse was surprised. When she raised her head, she saw a gorgeous face as pretty as a jade. Suddenly she blushed and her face got red.

She stuttered, “Yeah. I have one more...”

Oliver smiled, which made the young girl feel dizzy. Then he slowly reached his fair hand to her.

The nurse went numb and put the chewing gum onto his soft hand. Her eyes were giving out light. Her mouth was slightly open. It was just a matter of time before she started dripping on him.

Oliver peeled of the chewing gum and tossed it into his mouth, “Thanks.”

Then he walked away.

The young nurse was left alone in the passage to stare at his back.

He couldn’t have Elaine smell the cigarette in his mouth, which would damage her impression on him.

“Hi...” Oliver smiled unruly and pushed the door of Elaine’s ward.

Elaine felt grateful for Oliver. She also felt like she owed him now.

She was grateful that Oliver jumped into the sea to save her. Of course she knew that her mentioning Emmett in front of Oliver would hurt him. So she felt guilty too.

Elaine tried her best to squeeze out a sunny smile for Oliver, “Where did you go? I don’t have many drivers at my disposal now. Let’s go. I don’t want to stay any longer in this hospital. It is too dull.”

Oliver stared at Elaine in trance and her heartbeat was racing.

It was an uncontrollable chemical reaction.

His little darling didn’t need to do anything for him. She just needed to give him a little sunshine, then he would be able to bloom himself.

“Haha. Okay. I would very much like to be the driver of my little darling. Only for you! Come on, let’s go. We will check out of the hospital. It’s too dull. Let’s go home.”

Oliver was happy and walked to Elaine. He held her shoulders and bent down, kissing her on her cheek.

Sally pursed her lips and turned away immediately, pretending to not have seen it.

Elaine blushed and rubbed on the place which was kissed by Oliver. She glared at him with rage.

Oliver grinned and stuck his tongue out. He said quietly, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t supposed to do that...How about you make me pay for it and kiss me twice?”

“You are so chatty! Come on, let’s check out!”

Elaine was shy and hit Oliver with resignation. Then she walked out of the ward.

Sally and Oliver looked at each other. Sally grinned and said quietly, “Come on! You can do better than that!”

Oliver let out a bad smile and said quietly, “I will do better next time! And make Elaine my girl. Haha.”

The atmosphere was nice.

Oliver felt like he had infiltrated into the enemy. He happily accompanied Elaine with Sally. They were at Elaine’s both sides respectively. Then they walked out of the hospital.

Marina held the remote control of the TV in her hand, and kept changing channels. She was so bored and secretly looked at the man beside window from now and then.

She was impressed by him.

He insisted to accompany her in this ward last night and slept on another bed.

She asked him last night why she had to stay in hospital now that she was fine.

He barely wanted to talk and just put it simply, “You must.”

And today, he left the business in company behind and insisted to stay in this ward. But he said nothing to her. He just stubbornly stood beside window and looked out.

Like a statue.

Nobody could have done it without physical strength.

“Mr. Smith, why are we still in hospital?”

Marina couldn’t help herself anymore and asked the question again.

“Call me Emmett.” Emmett said plainly.

Marina smiled coldly, “Are you serious? Nobody else is here. Do we really have to continue our performance?”

Actually, Marina prayed in her heart that Emmett would say,

“Marina, actually, I am into you too. I hope our relationship can keep being like this.”
