She wondered what brought him to her last night.
her curiosity?She sank into the gloom, poking at her vegetable soup.
“You don’t want to see him? Then I guess I’m meddling unnecessarily,”
Cora said, feigning surprise.
“What do you mean?”
Georgia looked up at Cora, only to see her smiling knowingly.
Cora shrugged.
“Too bad I already told him to bring some spicy chicken wings for you.”
Georgia huffed,
“You’re so nosy!”
“I’m being nosy? Then I’ll tell Mr. Serrano not to bother anymore.”
As Cora spoke, she deliberately headed for the door as if to leave.
Georgia quickly pulled Cora back.
“Wait, he was here earlier?”
“He stayed here all night and morning until I sent him to get some chicken wings.”
“Then…
why didn’t he come in?”
Georgia asked before thinking better of it. She bit her l*p, scolding herself. They were over. What right did she have to expect him to be by her side?
“A greeting is enough.”
she muttered.
“There’s no need for him to see me.”
“I don’t want to see him!”
Georgia insisted.
1Just then, Efren entered, carrying a takeout bag.
Seeing him, Georgia froze up completely.
Noticing her reaction, the light in Efren’s eyes dimmed.
“I brought the chicken wings, but I asked them to make it mild for your stomach,”
he said calmly.
“You should focus on recovering. If you don’t want me here, I won’t bother you. Don’t worry.”
With that, he turned to leave.
Georgia had thought she didn’t want to see Efren either.
But watching him walk away twisted her heart painfully.
Before she could stop herself, the words sl*pped out.
“Leaving so fast? How insincere…”
Hearing Georgia’s words, Efren stopped in his tracks.
He turned around with a flicker of hope in his eyes.
Cora seized the opportunity to excuse herself with a laugh.
“Oh, dear, I think I left the soup on the stove! I’ll let you two talk.”
Seeing Cora scurrying for the door, Georgia scoffed in exasperation.
“Really, Auntie? You can’t even make your excuses believable. Making soup? You?”
But no matter how Georgia grumbled, Cora was already long gone in a flash. Now it was just awkward for Georgia and Efren to be left alone together.
Georgia was far from grateful for this forced privacy.
When someone else was around, she felt that she could still argue with Efren to some extent.
But now, alone with her ex, she felt totally lost for words.
The silence stretched on until Efren finally broke it by gently asking
“Georgia, how are you feeling? Are you in any pain?”
“Isn’t that obvious? My grandma specially put together a professional medical team for me because of this incident. They examine every mole on my b*dy repeatedly, not to mention Georgia wanted to speak calmly too but didn’t know why her tone came out so irritable.Yet no matter what she said, Efren remained very patient and good-tempered.
“Mm, they’re just being responsible for your health. Just cooperate with the checkups obediently.”
“Of course, I know to cooperate with checkups, isn’t that Captain Obvious?”
The more Georgia spoke, the more she felt she was being rude, annoying herself so much that she simply fl*pped off the blanket and burrowed into the bedding.
Thinking she was still angry at him, Efren didn’t make much of it.
Efren was just happy that Georgia was willing to be in the same space as him now. He didn’t need anything more than that.
So he just helped Georgia unwrap the chicken wings and asked her,
“Didn’t you keep yelling about wanting chicken wings?
Hurry up and eat while they’re hot.”
But Georgia ignored him and curled up into a ball.
“Georgia?”
Efren called her name anxiously.
He lifted the covers and saw her crying quietly.
He reached out to hug her, but she pulled away from him.
Heartbroken, Efren sighed.
“Okay, I’ll leave you alone. Please don’t cry…
“His voice remained gentle and soothing as he spoke.
Georgia thought he must be joking.
Only when she heard the door opening did she realize he wasn’t kidding.
She hurriedly flung off the covers, but one of Efren’s legs was already stepping out of the room.
At this, her tears burst forth as her sobs grew louder and louder.
And once more her b*dy acted against reason, suddenly bolting from the bed and running towards Efren.
Hearing her increasingly hysterical cries, Efren worried something was wrong and quickly turned back to check on her.
But the moment he turned, she threw herself into his arms.
“Georgia?”
Efren looked at her in shock, then in joy and tenderness. But most of all, in delight at having her back in his embrace…
“Don’t go!”
Georgia’s crying voice broke Efren’s heart.
“Okay, I won’t go.”
Efren had turned the initiative into pa*sive, hugging her tightly.
Ever since he was misunderstood by her last time, Efren wanted to hold her in his arms like this, soothe her anxiety, apologize to her, and admit his mistake.
But she had been unwilling to let him touch her and resisted his closeness.
Until today, she finally took the initiative to hug him…
Efren hugged Georgia tightly, whispering,
“Don’t cry. You haven’t recovered yet!”
But Georgia kept crying.
Like accusing Efren of being arrogant and unreasonable before. she was also accusing him of his brutal behavior, and she was even telling him about her uneasiness and despair when she was taken away by Alton that night.
And Efren comforted Georgia with his k*sses and whispers over and over again.
After Cora left the ward, she was quite worried that Georgia would break up with Efren.
So after staying outside for more than ten minutes, she deliberately turned back to see how the two of them were doing.In the end, before entering the ward, she saw Efren and Georgia tightly hugging each other through the door of the ward…
She felt relieved.
So she bought a few snacks and went directly to the Hansen Group.
Now all the employees of the Hansen Group knew Cora. They let her go all the way when they saw her.
Cora entered Byron’s office. Someone brought her coffee and cakes.
About five minutes later, Byron also returned to the office.
When he came in, Cora happened to be standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the busy traffic in front of the Hansen Group.
It happened to be a clear sky outside the window. With Cora’s slender figure, it was simply a view.
Byron simply strode forward and hugged the woman from behind.
“Why did you come here suddenly?”
Byron leaned his chin on Cora’s shoulder, sniffed her breath, and felt relaxed a fot.
