Chapter 894 So It'S Her
Chapter 894 So It's Her
Eve hesitated for a while to take the lunch box, and when the smell of food came to her, she realized that she was really hungry. But before taking it, she asked the man,
"Have you eaten?"
The man's eyes moved, and he responded lightly,
"Yes."
Eve nodded, feeling a little unbelievable. Why did she feel at ease when she saw him? She obediently opened the food box and began to eat slowly. Probably because of her personality and physique, she was very delicate when she ate, taking small bites slowly.
The man watched Eve's movements, his eyes unconsciously fixed on her small mouth, and a strange feeling stirred in his heart.
After eating for a while, Eve remembered to ask the man.
"By the way, what's your name?"
The man raised his eyebrows and asked half-jokingly,
"Just remember to ask my name now?"
Eve blushed as soon as she heard this. Her complexion was already extremely pale, so she couldn't hide the blush on her face when she was ashamed.
The man smiled, and answered Eve when she felt a little shy.
"My name is Lauren, Lauren Osade."
Eve nodded and continued to sip her late dinner, not noticing Lauren was staring at her.
It took nearly forty minutes for Eve to eat all the food. When Lauren saw that there was not even a grain of rice left in the lunch box, he regained his bad humor and asked her with a smile, "You eat them all? Do you want another one?"
Eve shook her head quickly, and even said no. God knew her stomach was about to burst. Because the food was brought to her by Lauren, she felt it would be impolite not to finish it. The portion of the dinner was already her usual daily food intake.
After the attendant came in to take away the trash, Lauren sat on a chair and asked about Eve's condition.
"I've read your medical record. You really shouldn't go out alone. Did you come to Athegate this time to find someone?"
Eve raised her head immediately after listening. Her eyes were full of surprise, and she asked,
"How did you know?"
Lauren smiled and said,
"Your hands are clean and free of calluses. You should be well taken care of by your parents. I believe they will never rest assured that you go out alone, and now you come to Athegate alone. You are either looking for someone or have some important business?"
As soon as Lauren finished speaking, he saw Eve looking at him with admiration on her face. He was amused in his heart. Wasn't this the most common deduction?
Eve was ignorant and never thought of hiding it from the savior in front of her, so she confessed to him,
"You guess it right. I have been staying at home due to illness, but I have a sister in Athegate. This time I sneak up to see her, but the phone has not been connected ... So..."
As she spoke, Eve lowered her head again.
"So you're unaccompanied now?" Lauren continued.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Eve nodded silently, feeling very depressed.
Seeing Eve's silence, Lauren said unconsciously,
"Don't worry. Since I bump into you, I won't just leave like this."
After speaking, Lauren regretted it. Why did it sound like he was reluctant to part with her?
But the pure Eve didn't think too much. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lauren, unintentionally showing timidity, but pitifully,
"Mr. Osade, thank you. As long as I can contact my sister, I will be fine. And I will treat you to dinner with my sister. Thank you for saving my life."
Eve's life-saving grace may sound exaggerated, but for her special body, it really was.
Lauren frowned after hearing what Eve said, and couldn't help saying,
"You trust me that much? You confess your situation within ten hours of our acquaintance. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?"
Eve pursed her lips when she heard the words, and whispered after a long time,
"People like me probably won't be able to be sold..."
Her inferiority complex was all between her eyebrows and eyes, like a thick fog that couldn't dissipate.
Lauren couldn't help but think of Eve's disease. There was no cure for this blood disease. Only long-term treatment or even frequent blood transfusions can maintain body functions. Moreover, the sick person was extremely weak and cannot perform any normal work at all. To put it in a bad way, she was not much different from a living dead.
Lauren didn't realize the compassion in his eyes when he looked at Eve, but Eve didn't want to be sympathized with. She was silent for a while and then said,
"However, my parents are very good to me. I can live to this day because of their care, so I will try my best to live every day and not let them worry."
With a thought, Lauren asked,
"Why didn't you mention your sister?"
"My sister studied outside very early, and has been in Athegate since then. She is a successful entrepreneur and a strong woman! So I want to visit my sister and see how she lives."
Eve's eyes lit up only when her sister was mentioned.
"Oh," Lauren didn't expect such a weak Eve to have such a powerful sister, so he asked,
"What's her name? Aren't you unable to contact her? Maybe I can help you find her."
"Really?!" When she heard this, Eve's eyes brightened even more.
"I can try it," Lauren said.
"Her name is Nia!" Eve excitedly said her sister's name. It turned out that she was Nia's younger sister.
On the third day, Lauren told Eve that he couldn't find her sister, but there was good news. The doctor said that she could be discharged from the hospital, but she still needed to rest well. The fainting yesterday was caused by temporary anemia.
Eve couldn't hide her disappointment, but she seemed to have guessed the result a long time ago. Lauren seemed to be new to Athegate, so how could he find her sister for herself? So she said calmly, "It's okay. I'll be able to contact her soon by myself. Thank you for taking care of me for a day. I can't repay you now..."
While talking, Eve fiddled her hands in embarrassment. She didn't have much money, and the air ticket had almost used up her pocket money, but she still said,
"When I find my sister, I will definitely repay you well!"
How could Lauren not know what was on Eve's mind? As early as when he was rummaging her luggage, he noticed that she didn't have much cash. But he didn't say much, but just stood aside and watched Eve packing her small suitcase. Then he accompanied her finishing the discharge procedure.
Standing at the door of the hospital, it seemed that it was time to say goodbye.
Pulling her suitcase, Eve recovered a lot after a day's rest. She watched Lauren and the attendants around her talking in a foreign language she didn't understand. What she wanted to say came to her mouth several times but she didn't have the courage to say it.
