One Night Surprise Chapter 516

Chapter 516 A Tattoo on the Back of Her Hand

“Lila, there’s someone here to see you.”

In the ward of Warmorth Hospital in Melrose City, Lila was sitting at the table by the window in her hospital gown, peeling apples. When she heard the nurse call, she looked up reflexively and looked toward the door before she could hesitate.

At the door, she saw Courtney wearing an off-white windbreaker. She had a light but warm smile on her face as if they were old friends whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Mike had warned her before this; Lila looked at Courtney with apparent scrutiny and precaution.

“Who are you?”

After being sick for so long, Lila’s thin face was dull, and her skin was sallow. However, her eyes still glistened. It was not difficult to imagine what a beauty she must have been before she fell ill.

Courtney did not answer and just lifted the box she was holding.

“Mike said you like the puffs from this place. So, I bought it for you this morning.”

Sure enough, with just one sentence, Lila’s frown loosened, and the suspicious look on her face subsided instantly.

“You know Mike?”

By then, Courtney had already sat beside her and nodded as she put down the dessert box.

“Otherwise, how would I know you are here? Mike often talks about you to us. That is the only time he doesn’t look as fierce.”

Lila let out a puff when she thought of Mike’s default, gloomy face; she couldn’t help but laugh. However, she was one of the few people who had seen a gentle expression on that face of his, which was funnier than his usual frowning face.

“His fierce expression is really quite scary.”

“Exactly! Our boss used to get angry at him whenever the business wasn’t as good, saying that his fierceness scared the customers away.”

As Courtney spoke, she opened the light pink dessert box, which instantly exuded a creamy fragrance. She reached out, took one, and brought it toward Lila’s mouth.
