Love's Perfect Match

Yelena's breathing had stabilized as she lay in the hospital bed. It seemed like she was no longer in critical condition.

"Hank, you have worked hard taking care of Yelena. You should go and have a rest since there is time. Yelena will be sad if you collapse from exhaustion by the time she wakes up."

Elspeth felt something she couldn't put into words when she looked at the serious and focused expression on the man's face.

"I'm alright. I slept for an hour just now."

"You've been here all day and you've only had an hour to sleep?" She sighed. Just as she was about to continue persuading him, she suddenly noticed small signs of Yelena opening her eyes. She immediately exclaimed, "Is Yelena waking up?!"

When Hank came back to his senses, he watched the fingers in his palm trembling slightly. It was as if she really was about to wake up.

As expected, Yelena opened her eyes a few moments later.

"Hank…"

Seeing the man whom she had been thinking about day and night, Yelena called out his name in a hoarse voice as tears filled her eyes.

Hank poured some warm water into a glass on the table beside him, slid in a straw, and brought it to her mouth. "Have some water. Your voice is all raspy."

Yelena gave a nod and took small sips of water. She looked like she was doing well.

"Elspeth! You came, too!"

The aggrievance Yelena felt made her want to cry when she saw Elspeth standing behind Hank.

"You really don't make things easier for me, do you? You don't even take care of yourself when you are abroad!" Elspeth scolded her out of worry. However, her guilt quickly bubbled up when she looked at Yelena's pale face.

Yelena obviously didn't mind. She even flashed an embarrassed smile and curled up her lips. "Alright, alright. I will pay attention next time."

"Did I hear you say 'next time'?!" Elspeth roared. It pained her to see Yelena in her current condition.

Hank thought about letting Yelena rest for a while, now that she had finished drinking the water. Hank turned to Elspeth and
