Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“I’m being serious here!” Jovan was truly mad this time, emphasizing his words to Flossie with a frown.
“If you treated me as your closest, most trusted person, you would have shared this matter with me first! You hid the truth from me just because you didn’t want me to worry. But be honest. You just think I’m too weak to face the outside world! That I need to be taken care of… I may be useless, but I am still a man with pride! Do you think I’d be happy about this?”
“I really didn’t think this through.” Flossie sincerely apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you would care so much about these little details. I promise you that in the future if there is anything, I will share it with you first, and I’ll never hide anything from you.”
“If you really feel sorry, then tell me, is there anything else you’re hiding from me?” Jovan asked the woman intently.
“I…” Flossie paused and carefully observed the man’s expression. She was not sure if the man was deliberately testing her reaction.
‘Does he already know about me meeting Halston?’ She wondered.
“Is it so hard to answer?” Jovan chuckled coldly. “It looks like you really are hiding something from me.”
“I don’t mean that, I…”
“Didn’t you just say that you wanted to transfer me to a hospital? I agree.” Jovan sighed deeply. “We have too many acquaintances here. There’s too much gossip spreading about. I prefer to go to a place where no one knows us so that we can live with ease.”
“Right, I think so too. Then I’ll go through with the transfer procedure now.”
When Flossie held the documents and went through the formalities to help Jovan transfer to another hospital, Jovan’s attending doctor, David, was very surprised.
“Joan, why do you suddenly want to transfer Van to another hospital? He’s now in the critical period of his recovery, and he can’t endure the stress of moving to another hospital.”
David was one of the doctors with the most medical experience in the surrounding cities. Besides, he was amiable, humble, and responsible.
When they first arrived at that town, they came because of David’s medical skills, not to mention he was also the one treating Jovan’s illness. Hence, they established a very good friendship.
“There’s a special condition, so we need to leave for a while for the time being. When the time is right, we’ll come back again.”
Flossie gave David a rough explanation because she could not go into the details.
“If you want to transfer to another hospital, you’ll have to change his attending doctor. You’re aware that every doctor’s concept of medicine is different. I think Van’s case isn’t too serious. As long as he recuperates patiently and keeps in a good mood, he’ll slowly get better. At least, I can guarantee that he can walk again.”
David adjusted his glasses and reminded Flossie seriously, “If you transfer him to another hospital and get another doctor, I can’t guarantee that they won’t use extreme treatment on Van after the check-up results are out. The consequences will be a bit serious by then.”
“What is the extreme treatment?”
“It’s like using muscle regeneration hormones or transplanting new limbs on his body.”
“They can’t possibly do that!!!”
Flossie could tell they were unreliable methods, and she expressed her deepest objection.
Injecting muscle regeneration hormones or a limb transplant didn’t seem very much like what an ordinary doctor would do.
“So, I suggest you not transfer him to another hospital. After all, we have such good cooperation now. Both you and Van accept my treatment methods. You can’t give up at such a critical time. Don’t you think so?”
David twirled a pen with his fingers and slowly established his point, trying to persuade Flossie with reason.
“Doctor Wilson, you’re right, so I won’t apply for a transfer then. I’ll help to discharge him from the hospital first. We’ll then come back and let him stay here again after a period. Is that possible?
After pondering over it, Flossie compromised.
Jovan’s waist injury was almost cured, so he merely needed regular physiotherapy and some ointments for the wounds. They could do those kinds of things at home.
In short, it was fine as long as they did not have to keep staying in this hospital. It would cut off all possibilities of meeting Halston.
“Yes, you can do that. But I think Van needs to be hospitalized for another week before his waist injury is cured. Do you have any urgent affairs? Why do you want to leave in such a hurry?”
“I…”
Flossie bit her lips and tried her best to come up with an excuse. “Van and I have difficulties sleeping in beds that aren’t ours. We can’t sleep well here, so we’re low in spirits and hard to hold on.”
“All right. I’ll approve it for the time being since you’ve already made up your mind.”
When David knew that he couldn’t dissuade her, he had no choice but to sign the discharge application form.
That day, Flossie packed up her things and pushed Jovan out rapidly, ignoring that night had fallen.
“No, darling! Are we running away? Do we have to be in such a hurry?”
Sitting in the wheelchair, Jovan became confused.
He heard the hospital’s clock just now. It was midnight… at the moment.
He could not figure out why they had to leave the hospital at this hour. Would they have to catch the last bus or ride something else?
“Yes, we’re in a hurry.”
Flossie closed the door behind her and pushed Jovan to the elevator. She kept looking around in a sneaky manner as if she was a thief.
Most of the people were asleep if they were leaving at this hour. So, the probability of meeting the people they should not meet was at its lowest.
“Can you tell me why you are in such a hurry?”
Jovan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Based on his understanding of her, she would never leave if it was not an extremely urgent affair. She upheld a carefree and laid-back lifestyle.
It might be a very dangerous affair if she were to become so restless with anxiety out of the blue.
“It’s because… If we don’t go home now, my sunflowers will wither. Can’t you see why I’m in such a hurry?”
“Humph! What a good reason! Do you think I believe that?”
Jovan did not even bother to complain about that. He stated solemnly, “You even promised me just now that you’ll tell me right away if anything happens to you. You won’t lie to me. Are you trying to break your promise now?”
“Ah. Life is already hard enough. Please don’t expose my lie. It’s hard to talk about this now. I’ll explain to you in detail when we’re home.”
While comforting Jovan, Flossie waited for the elevator.
Ding! The door of the elevator opened.
Coincidentally, the person she was trying to avoid stood right in the middle of the elevator. It was Halston.
They looked at each other in shock.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
“Why do you…”
Halston was about to say something to Flossie when he looked at Jovan, who was sitting in a wheelchair. His handsome face was full of astonishment.
“Jovan? Why are you here?”
