Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 114 I’ll Be Staying Here Tonight

It was the middle of the night. The hospital was reduced to a deafening silence.

There was only occasionally buzzing sound from the fluorescent lamps. After Mu Zhi finished her sentence, the air in the hospital quickly came to a still.

Lu Junnian kept mum. He waited for Mu Zhi to finish her words.

Meanwhile, she was waiting for a response. After a while, all she heard was a soft cough coming from Lu Junnian. He turned around and stared at Mu Zhi fixedly.

In this instance, Mu Zhi noticed how bloodshot his eyes were. The dark circles under his eyes were profound.

He must have been exhausted.

“It’s my right to love you. I make my own choices. It’s not yours to say whether you deserve it or not, I do.”

Lu Junnian looked at Mu Zhi solemnly.

But after finishing his words, he let out a few more light coughs before it dawned on Mu Zhi that Lu Junnian might have been sick. She quickly handed the glass of water on the table to him.

He took a sip of water, and then said, “Take some rest, I’ll be staying here tonight.”

Mu Zhi gulped involuntarily. She hesitated, then said to him, “You don’t need to wait here, nobody else will come again. I’m tired, I need a good night’s sleep.”

In between her words, she tried to get off the bed.

But Lu Junnian swiftly stopped her, pressing one hand on her arm. The firmness in his eyes was dazzling brightly.

He stared at Mu Zhi with a stern face, asking, “How could you be so vicious? Why would you push me away one time after another?”
