Chapter 85 We Are A Couple
He pinched at his eyebrows and said to the phone after pausing for a minute, “It’s really late now. Just
stay in the police station for one night and learn this lesson. I’ll ask Toby to handle this tomorrow.”
“Dennis...” Olivia wanted to protest something but the call just ended.
After hanging up the phone, Dennis looked at me with resignation, “You don’t really need to call the
police. You can just call the police.”
I dropped my eyes and fiddled with my fingers, “Were you the one who gave her the key or input her
fingerprints? If you want her to stay in the mansion in the future, you can just notify me first. I can just
sell you my half of the house and move out.”
“Clara!” He sounded angry. “We are a couple!”
I nodded, “I know, so I called the police. After all, it’s our home and not her home.”
He got nothing to talk back and stroked his forehead, “Sure, come here.” Then he nudged over and
motioned me. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
I got what he was talking about and didn’t really to contradict. I straight stood up and lay next to him.
He grinned, “You are surly smart.”
I ignored him and just fell asleep.
On the next day, I slept in since I went to sleep late last night.
There was the sound of birds chirping when I opened my eyes and for I second, I thought I was in the
mansion.
I stretched my arms subconsciously and hit Dennis naturally. I looked up and saw him singing papers.
Being hit on the face by my palms, he looked at me coolly, “Are you up?”
I drew back my hand and nodded, “Yeah.”
Belatedly, I realized that I was in the hospital and got out of the bed that was not as cozy as the one at
home.
My body often got cold at night and would trace the heat automatically, so Dennis had been squeezed
to the edge of the side. The big spot that I hogged was pretty obvious when I sprang out of the bed.
Feeling awkward, I lowered my head, “Sorry.” I really didn’t mean to fight the bed with a patient.
He smiled and put away the files, “Are you hungry?”
Then he moved his body to the center of the bed.
The nurse then came in to give him an IV and stole a glance at me when she was done with putting
him on tubes. It looked like that she didn’t come in before as I was sleeping.
After the nurse left, I answered, “I’m all right.” Then I went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Seeing that he still had several fluid bottles left when I came out, I asked, “Do you have anything that
you want to eat?”
He beamed, “It’s up to you.”
I didn’t want to waste my breath with him and just grabbed my purse.
I bumped into Mario with medical record when I came out.
He must be checking on Dennis.
He greeted, “Thank you for last night!”
I paused for a second and remembered that he was referring to him sleeping in the mansion.
I shook my head, “No sweat. After all, you went through all those troubles for Dennis.”
He cracked a smiled. “Where are you going?”
“To get the breakfast. Did you have it yet?”
He shook his head, “I just got to the hospital.”
“Do you have anything particular you want to eat?”
“I’m not picky.”
I nodded and then went into the elevator.
Daisy called and wondered how come we were both not at home last night.
I recapped the situation and declined when she suggested to make some breakfast and send it to the
hospital.
But after strolling around the hospital and failing to find anything to eat, I called Daisy and asked her to
fix some.
Then I sat in front of the hospital and bathed in the sun to wait for her, but instead of seeing Daisy, I
saw Marcus with thermal containers.
He should be delivering breakfast to Dennis.
Daisy then also brought a bunch over including porridge, soybean milk and steamed buns.
She was clearly in a hurry and just left after dropping the food off.
Marcus had already prepared meal for Dennis, so I straight went to Mario’s office who just came back
from checking on the patients.
He raised his eyebrows when he saw me holding all the dishes, “So many choices.”
I nodded and opened a bottle of porridge myself, “There are steamed buns and soybean mile here. You
can see which one you prefer.”
He still got patients to attend to, so after grabbing some food, he just went out.
I really can’t finish all the buns and porridge, so after hesitating for a minute, I fetched them to Dennis’
room but stopped when I approached the room.
Olivia was talking in a tearful voice and sounded miserable.
“Dennis, Clara is really an evil bitch! She shattered all the collections that I sent you and got me
arrested.”
“This woman had absolutely no bottom line. Dennis, you can’t bring yourself to live with this kind of
woman for your whole life just for a baby.” This spiteful sentence obviously came from Marcus.
It was truly unethical to eavesdrop, so I pushed the door open and went in.
The room then suddenly became silent. Olivia was gloomy and livid with anger when she saw me.
I directly ignored her and skipped the breakfast that hadn’t been touched next to him, “Do you want to
eat this?”
He glanced at me and nodded, “Yeah!”
I took out the porridge and buns and said, “Daisy made this in the morning. See which one do you
prefer.”
“Porridge!” He let out one word.
I nodded and was about to throw the bags in the garbage can.
But Dennis just stared at me and didn’t do anything.
I meant to ask him what was wrong, but then I ended up saying, “It’s late now. I have to go to the
company.”
He asked when I was about to leave the room, “Do you think I can eat it myself?”
I paused and turned around.
He was staring at me with drops in his hand.
Well, Olivia and Marcus were both around. Did I have to feed him myself?
I looked back in bewilderment.
He raised his eyebrows and clearly meant that he wanted me to feed him.
Olivia surly read the room and proposed, “Dennis, you are still getting infusions. What do you want to
eat? I can help you!”
Then she took the breakfast that Marcus brought over.
Eyes swollen, she said, “I made this porridge for you when I got out of the police station this morning
and asked Marcus to take it here. Have a taste of this!”
Dennis knitted his brows, “I’m not hungry!”
Olivia paused a bit and answered awkwardly, “Just have a try.”
I really can’t bring myself to watch anymore and just said, “I got to go.”
But Dennis suddenly spoke out, “You don’t need to go to the company today. Marcus, send Olivia home
and took a leave of absence for Clara in the company.”
I was beyond shocked.
