Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Chapter 47 She Wanted to See You

"I'm the head nurse for room 901," the man at the door replied.

Alexia's expression froze.

‘Room 901, isn't that the ward Evelyn is staying in?’

It was so late. There was no reason Evelyn's head nurse needed to find Chaim. ‘Did something happen to Evelyn again?’

"Hello, may I ask why you’re looking for Mr. Lancaster?" Alexia asked before explaining. "Mr. Lancaster is already asleep, and unless it’s an emergency, it’s probably best to let him sleep."

"Ms. Evelyn is awake and is demanding Mr. Lancaster come to see her." The person outside the door responded hesitantly.

Alexia was about to respond when Chaim suddenly open his eyes and sat up.

"You... Chaim."

"I'll go upstairs and look," Chaim said as he pulled on his shirt and climbed out of the bed.

Alexia pulled on his arm, not wanting him to go. “But Chaim, you look tired now. Why don't you go tomorrow?"

"No, Eve will be upset if I don’t go see her now," Chaim said as he pulled away from Alexia.

Alexia looked at her empty hand, and her heart followed her husband’s fleeting warmth. Was he that worried about Evelyn? ‘Why can’t he be more worried about me, his wife?’

Alexia lowered her eyes to hide the emotion in her face. "Just so I know, are you coming back tonight?"

Chaim froze with his foot half in his shoe as he thought for a moment before regaining his composure. "You go to sleep. Call Aunt Song if there is anything you need. Aunt Song is sleeping in a room nearby. If Aunt Song can't help or doesn’t answer, ring the bell and call Nathaniel. He said he would stay in the hospital the next few days."

Chaim purposely didn't answer whether he would be back tonight, focusing intently on his shoes before following the head nurse out of the room.

As soon as the door shut, Alexia felt the bed where Chaim had been, the last of his warmth slipping away. The sheets growing cold, just like her heart.

"He expects me to sleep now?" Alexia gathered the covers together and let out a bitter laugh.
