Love or Leave Behind Novel

“Why are you staring at me?”

Samuel, who had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke up, startling Shelmaine.

She quickly looked away. Caught off guard, she quickly said, “I wasn’t.”

Samuel smiled but didn’t say anything.

That afternoon, Julien came by, Shelmaine had no idea how he found the hospital. More importantly, Samoel was around as well.

Julien knocked on the door and entered the ward. When he saw Sammel, he was surprised but quickly composed himself. Meanwhile, Samuel frowned. It was clear that he wasn’t expecting Jullen to show up.

Shelmaine’s heart started racing, Instinctively, she gripped the bedsheet.

However, before she could say anything, Samuel asked, “Should I step out to avoid any misunderstandings?”

“It will be great if you can do that,” Julien answered frankly, though he was smiling

Shelmaine’s mind went blank. She licked her lips, not knowing what to say

Samuel remained still and said, “I can’t do that”

Julien chucked before tuming to Shelmane. “How are you feeling? Do you feel any better?”

*Ideel a lot better now. Thank you for asking. But how did you know I was here?”

“I stopped by your studio this morning. Your assistant said you were sick and in the hospital, but she didn’t know which hospital you were in. I figured since you’re pregnant, you would probably come to a maternity hospital if you weren’t feeling well. So, 1 took a chance.“.

Julien’s explanation was Dewless. It was impressive that he found shelmaine.

She said, “You didn’t have to go out of your way to come here…”

“It’s no trouble. You don’t need to be so polite with me.” Julien placed the flowers he brought on the nightstand, along with a fruit basket

The atmosphere in the room was cold. Although it seemed calm, there was tension, especially since Samuel was being ignored.

He sat on the couch and listened to their conversation, as if he were there but not there at the same time. Shelmaine ignored him entirely as if he were invisible.

Julien wasn’t just there for a quick visit. He kept talking to Shelmaine. Out of politeness, she had to respond to him. Even when she didn’t speak, he showed no intention of leaving. He just sat there without moving.

She didn’t know how Julien and Samuel felt, but she started to feel uncomfortable. She was trapped in an awkward situation.

A while later, Sampel broke the silence. “She needs to rest. You should leave.”

it was clearly a request for Julien to leave

Julien asked, “What about you?

“I can’t leave. I’m the caregiver she hired”

Shelmaine was at a loss for words.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“A caregiver? You don’t mind if there’s one more, right? But I’m free of charge.”

Juben looked at Shehnaine with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze, but to her, it felt like a cold wind.

She had always considered him as a client only. The things she said to Samuel that day were out of impulse.

Samuel smiled lazily and glanced at Shelmaine. She wasn’t looking at him. She was looking somewhere else, and she seemed lost and confused.

Then, she said, “Mr. Gallagher, please don’t make such a joke. It Isn’t funny”

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
