Chapter 244 Taking Him Home
April cleared his throat before he said to Vania, “Mrs. Luke, Hanson is extremely weak now after the surgery, so you would need to prepare something light for his consumption. Oh, since Hanson is a very stubborn person and may not heed the doctor’s orders to recuperate properly, you’ll need to persuade him to do so, as the condition of his hand won’t permit him to work right now.”
Although Vania nodded in affirmation, she secretly thought to herself why she was the one who needed to prepare Hanson’s meal. I mean, I’m not even a chef. Doesn’t he have his own housekeeper? However, she reluctantly agreed since Hanson was injured from protecting her.
Hanson was very pleased with what April had told Vania. As a result, he decided to slightly raise his pay since he was satisfied with April’s execution of his orders.
If April was aware of what Hanson was thinking, he would definitely become frantic as it was not a situation where he would have his salary docked again.
That same night, Vania had messaged her babies that she would be staying the night in the hospital with Hanson. Due to how mentally fatigued she was, she fell asleep on the bed beside Hanson in no time.
As his eyes were closed, Hanson smiled as he listened to Vania’s steady breathing. Opening his eyes, he walked over to her and lightly kissed her on her forehead. “Goodnight, my lady.”
Early next morning, just as Vania was pondering on what she should serve Hanson for breakfast, the doctor told Hanson that he could be discharged to recuperate at home without the IV drips. Listening to what the doctor said, she decided to take Hanson home with her and would have Larry come by to pick him up after breakfast.
When Hanson heard Vania was going to take him home, his heart burst with joy. Despite how he felt, he kept an apologetic expression. “Won’t it be taxing for you? You’ve been here with me all night, after all.”
She took a glance at the man, pondering on what the man was thinking as she felt he was not being truthful. Then, she explained, “Since you were injured because of me and hadn’t been eating since last night due to your stomach ailment, I figured home-cooked meals would be better for you. Just bear with it for now.”
However, he thought otherwise. If possible, he would like to have all of his meals prepared by her since he saw it as a joyful matter. “Then, I’ll be intruding on your kindness,” he said while taking care not to let slip his expression of complacency, as he had already decided to move into Vania’s house.
Unfortunately, Vania hadn’t a clue as to what the man was thinking. Otherwise, she would never have invited the fox into the chicken’s coop at such a time. After she had packed his things and taken his medication from the hospital, the two then went back to Haling Villa.
At this time, the four little children were already wide awake and were sitting in the living room waiting for Vania’s return. As soon as they heard the door opening, they immediately ran over in excitement to greet her. However, their smiles vanished upon realizing that Vania wasn’t alone. Why is this guy here? What happened to his hand?
Noticing her babies’ cold expression toward Hanson, she explained, “He got injured while trying to help me. That’s why I brought him back.”
When they heard that Hanson was injured, they directed their attention at Hanson’s bandaged hand and became anxious as he was still their father despite everything else. Since there was a kinship between them, it was inevitable for them to worry after seeing his injured state. However, though there was turmoil in their hearts, the four kept their poker face.
