Chapter 86 A Reward
He kissed Elena so intensely that she couldn't breathe. Her face turned bright red as she opened her eyes and pushed him away with all her strength. Reluctantly, he released her, wearing a mischievous grin on his face.
Hassan laughed and said, "Darling, are you hungry?"
Still groggy from sleep, Elena replied, "Hmm, wait a moment, I have something for you!"
She jumped out of his embrace like an agile little fox, rushing out of the bedroom. In no time, she came back carrying a tray with a thud.
"Try it, I made it myself!"
Elena scooped the pudding into a white porcelain dish, the pale yellow dessert contrasting beautifully against the pure white ceramic. It was adorned with various sweet toppings, looking very special.
"You made this?" Hassan picked up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Elena anxiously watched him and asked, "Is it tasty? What do you think of the flavor?"
After taking a bite, Hassan scooped another spoonful and continued eating! Elena watched him eagerly.
"Is it delicious? This isn't my first attempt, I've made it before, but this time it turned out better."
Hassan finished all the pudding and then furrowed his brow, finally giving Elena the anticipated evaluation.
"It's awful!"
"What? Is it really that bad?"
Elena was half doubtful, but since he finished it without leaving anything behind, there was no way for her to verify.
Hassan looked at Elena and said, "Well, since you put in so much effort, I'll be kind enough to be your guinea pig. But you owe me something tonight!"
Elena was surprised. "Compensation?"
"Exactly! A proper compensation!"
Hassan emphasized the word "compensation" with a playful gaze. It was as if his wicked eyes could strip off all her clothes.
"No! I have to work tomorrow, let's not make love tonight!" Elena shivered in fear.
This guy must have taken some kind of energy supplement. His stamina was amazing, he could go multiple rounds! She had to save her energy for work tomorrow, how could she possibly handle him?
"Hmm?" Hassan narrowed his gaze, then looked at her mockingly. "No lovemaking? Elena, what are you constantly thinking about in that little head of yours? If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
Elena blushed immediately. This man deliberately distorted her words.
"You know very well what I meant just now!"
Hassan intentionally responded, "Do I have to abide by your interpretation?"
"You..." Elena was frustrated,
Shi couldn't find the right words to say, "So, what does compensation mean to you?"
"Keep it a secret! Come, let's eat!"
Hassan bent down and lifted her up, striding towards the dining room.
"Hey, let me down, your arm isn't healed yet, you'll get hurt!"
Hassan's handsome gaze ambiguously stared at her, "Don't worry, even if I get injured, carrying you is completely effortless."
Facing his gaze, Elena couldn't help but blush and her heart raced. For some reason, she always imagined intimate scenes between the two of them, his strength, his presence, his teasing, and caresses...
Hassan leaned close to her ear and said with a fiery voice, "Your face is so red, what naughty thoughts are you having in your mind?"
Elena shyly turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze.
His scorching body temperature, transmitted continuously through his thin shirt, onto her skin.
Hassan attempted to kiss Elena, "If you have very intense desires, I will gladly fulfill them without hesitating!"
"As if! You're daydreaming!" Elena snorted.
"Really? Or are you just pretending?" Hassan mischievously slipped his large hand under her skirt.
"No!" Elena screamed. This guy was too much, always being aroused at any time.
"Really don't want it, or just pretending?" He eagerly looked at her embarrassed state; her cheeks flushed red, making his blood surge and his heart pound.
"I'm really hungry!" Elena looked at him embarrassed.
Only then did Hassan smirk and put her on a comfortable dining chair.
Noura, standing at a distance, smiled as she watched the intimacy between the master and Miss Walker.
Elena was indeed hungry, and as soon as she sat down, she began to eat heartily. Suddenly, she noticed that Hassan was just watching her eat without taking a bite. She stopped and curiously asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
He was the one who brought her down to eat, but after they came down, he stopped eating.
"Eat a little more, and I'll get my share later!"
Elena was speechless.
"Are you tired from work?" he suddenly asked. In fact, he didn't want her to participate in any internships, but if he forced her, it would only exacerbate the conflict between them.
"Well, not too much! By the way, we received a gunshot wound patient at the hospital today!"
"Gunshot wound?" Hassan squinted his eyes slightly.
"Yes, in the abdomen! The surgery took about four hours..."
Hassan suddenly remembered and stood up. "You take your time, I'll make a phone call!"
"Oh, okay!"
Hassan's tall figure gradually walked out, closely followed by Nabil.
Hassan was on the phone for a long time, and he didn't come in even after Elena finished eating.
He only hurriedly came in when Elena was about to go to bed.
"Baby, are you full?" Hassan touched her head and asked.
"Yeah!" Elena nodded.
Hassan's large hand touched her belly, as if examining...
She said and pushed away his restless hand with a smile.
"Don't move, it's itchy!"
Hassan kissed Elena and said, "Baby, goodnight. You go to sleep first; I still have work to do overtime tonight!"
"Mhmm, goodnight!"
Elena behaved very obediently. After Hassan finished kissing her, he got up and walked out, closing the lights and the bedroom door in passing.
"Master, everything is ready."
Through the crack of the door, Elena faintly heard Nabil's voice, and then she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as Elena entered the hospital, she overheard a few nurses gossiping.
"It's so scary, a patient disappeared!"
"Is our hospital haunted?"
"Yes, the night shift security guards didn't see anyone. It must be a ghost!"
"What happened?" Elena couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
A petite nurse with single eyelids approached and whispered, "A patient went missing last night! None of the staff on duty know what happened. It's really strange..."
"Could the patient have been discharged on their own?"
"How is that possible? That patient had just undergone abdominal surgery yesterday afternoon and needed anesthesia to relieve the pain at night. It's impossible for them to walk out of the ward. Oh, by the way, you were there as the assistant during that surgery yesterday afternoon. I heard you gave a lot of ideas to the director!" The petite nurse spoke proudly. However, as soon as she saw Elena's face clearly, she immediately put on a pleasing smile.
Elena smiled gently. "It's nothing, just happened to have encountered something similar before."
"Assistant, since you're close to the director, do you two have a family relationship?" the petite nurse asked gossipingly, and the other nurses joined in teasing.
While Elena was pondering, a steady pace of footsteps suddenly approached, and someone lightly called out, "The director is here."
Immediately, all the nurses dispersed. Those who had not left hurriedly turned towards William, greeting him with smiles, "Good morning, Director!"
"Morning! You're all up early! Assistant, come with me!"
With a clean and handsome face, William's expression was somewhat solemn. In front of these nurses, he never joked around. In their eyes, he was a rather cold man.
Precisely because of this indifference and distance, it made these nurses develop an inexplicable affection for him. They simply liked him more and more.
"Good morning, Director!"
Elena respectfully followed behind him and walked into the office.
"Have you had breakfast?"
After entering the director's office, the first thing he asked was this. Elena lightly laughed, "I've already eaten! Thank you for your concern."
A gentle smile appeared on William's face. "I just ordered breakfast, thinking that I could eat together with you."
"Oh, it's alright. I'll go organize the documents... By the way, earlier in the waiting area, I heard the nurses talking about the gunshot victim who went missing last night."
William remained calm. "Yes, I already knew about it last night."
"Is there... a ghost?"
"Are there ghosts? Foolish girl, do you still believe in that?"
"They said the security guards didn't see how the patient left?"
William remained silent for a while before chuckling softly. "Don't worry, don't listen to their nonsense. The person's identity is somewhat special, and I cannot disclose it, so I created some illusions. But it's best if you also don't discuss these matters with them. Sometimes, many things are beyond our imagination."
Seeing William's serious expression, Elena knew there might be some hidden circumstances.
"Well, I understand!"
Suddenly, William stared at Elena's face for a while and smiled, "You don't need to wake up so early tomorrow morning!"
"What's wrong with my face?" Elena reached out to touch her face.
"You've lost a lot of weight. Do you feel a lot of pressure?"
"No, but I stayed up late last night reading!" She took out the book she read last night from her backpack and showed it to him.
William nodded in satisfaction, "Although studying is important, don't stay up late. Your health is the most important! Drink this cup of hot milk!"
He personally made her a cup of milk, radiating warmth from his palm, and handed it to her. Elena's heart felt warm as she drank the whole cup of milk.
"I have a meeting in the morning today, so don't do anything. Just sit in here and read. Rest well, and in the afternoon, I'll take you to other departments."
A complete day was already planned by him, without any need for her to arrange anything.
As she drank the rich milk, Elena could still feel his considerate care.
His clean eyebrows, gentle smile, and the faint scent of sea blue on him, everything captivated her.
Watching his white figure disappear at the door, she still looked somewhat dazed.
In the morning, she sat quietly in the office, continuing to read her book. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and she looked up.
It was Timothy's figure appearing at the office door. Elena smiled and stood up.
"Timothy, are you looking for our dean?"
Timothy looked around and gestured for the bodyguards next to him to leave. He walked in briskly and smiled.
"No, I came to find you."
