Chapter 88
"It's fine. Taking care of John is the right thing to do. If not for me, he wouldn't have gotten hurt."
Lillian smiled, indicating her commitment continue caring of me.
"My parents fully support my decision to take care of John, so there's no need for concern," she added.
Mary also smiled. "Your parents are really open-minded. But now that I'm here, please let me take care of him. It's a bit improper for an unmarried girl like you to take care of a grown man."
Damn, the principal girlfriend was speaking up.
I principal. There truly was nothing between me and Lillian, so why were they targeting each other?
Same-sex relationships were natural enemies, and to make matters worse, they were both perfect examples of such.
Yet, at this moment, I needed to support Mary.
I cleared my throat and said, "Lillian, it's just a minor injury. It's okay, and as a grown man, there are indeed some inconveniences."
Lillian said, "It's just that it's inconvenient to go to the bathroom. Last night, I even did..."
"Lillian!"
I interrupted sharply. Could she really say that?
Lillian seemed to realize her slip-up, her pretty face blushing. Mary was not a fool. How could she not understand? The smile on her face faded.
"Lillian, I'm much better now. I can handle things on my own. You can drop by during the day."
Upon hearing my words, Mary's expression softened.
Seeing my slight embarrassment, Lillian said, "Alright then!"
Relieved, I said, "Mary, you don't need to come either. Just come visit me during the day!"
I winked at her. She should get the hint.
If she kept checking up on me every day, Edward would definitely notice.
Mary frowned. "Then I'll hire a caregiver."
"Don't worry. It's just a minor injury, not like I've lost a limb. It's not that serious."
I waved my hand and said, "I'm not that fragile. You all take such good care of me and make me feel like I have some incurable disease."
Lillian couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She looked stunning when she laughed. Her chest trembled. I always felt like it was about to pop out the next second.
Just then, a voice call popped up, and I reached for my phone!
Damn!
Rita!
Why was she calling now?
I realized it must be because I had been too busy these days and hadn't contacted her.
After kissing and touching her all over, neglecting her for so long would definitely make me look like a jerk.
But it was really inconvenient to answer the phone right now.
If Rita had said something intimate, Mary would have been right there.
"Why aren't you picking up?" Mary asked.
"Oh, it's probably my landlord reminding me to pay the rent."
I rubbed my nose. In the end, I didn't answer. I rubbed turned off my phone.
"Let's talk later. I'm feeling a bit dizzy now."
I feigned discomfort on purpose, and Mary didn't press further but anxiously said, "Quick, lie down."
Lillian also came over and obediently placed a cushion behind my back.
Being cared for by two beautiful women, I felt secretly pleased.
"You must be hungry."
Lillian opened the box of porridge, sat on the edge of the bed, scooped a spoonful, and blew gently on it near my mouth. "Here, John, I got this abalone porridge specially for you, all the way from Australia."
The abalone porridge she bought was full of abalone but with very little porridge, a true abalone porridge.
Such a generous portion must be very nutritious.
Mary smiled. "Lillian, let me do it."
Lillian shook her head with a smile. "It's okay. I'll do it!"
As she spoke, she handed me the spoon. I was in a dilemma. Should I open my mouth or not?
Helplessly, I took a bite, then said, "Lillian, I'll can manage myself."
Ignoring everything, I brought the porridge over and started to eat directly.
Damn, the good fortune of having two women serving me wasn't that easy to enjoy.
It was all because I spoke too soon. Why did I have to tell Mary? It would've been so great to just enjoy the service of a young lady alone.
After finishing the porridge, a comforting warmth spread through my stomach. The effect was immediate, marking the blanket rose into a small hill.
The atmosphere in the ward was a bit awkward. Even if I could talk, I wouldn't know how to break the ice.
As the sun began to set, noticing the late hour, I said, "Lillian, you've done so much today. Go back and rest early."
Feeling uneasy, I had to send her away first, then properly comfort Mary.
"Just hold on. My dad and Edward will be here soon," Lillian said.
This was awkward.
I couldn't just tell them not to come over, could I?
But perhaps this was a good opportunity.
I nodded and turned to the somewhat gloomy Mary. "Mary, is Edward coming?"
"He should be here soon," Mary replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside, followed by the door opening. Gary and his son walked in and said, "John, we've come to see you again."
The voice arrived before the person. "You've got a friend coming to see you!"
"Yes!"
I nodded with a smile. I shouldn't have disclosed our relationship to Lillian earlier, but with us being caught red-handed, denying it was useless.
Yet, there was no need to mention the others.
"Mr. Allen, you don't have to come if you're busy. It's really troublesome."
"It's on the way, no trouble at all."
Gary waved his hand and said, "As long as you're recovering well, we'll be relieved."
With his status, he even remained so caring. It really touched me.
"Thank you, Mr. Allen."
After a few more pleasantries, I changed the subject. "Mr. Allen, later on, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine. He is also a star in our Sevan manufacturing industry."
Gary smiled and responded, "Who is it? As long as they're a prominent CEO in Sevan, chances are I know them!"
He was so confident in his speech.
I smiled, about to speak, when urgent footsteps could be heard outside, followed by the door opened. Edward hurried in. "John, how are you doing."
"Edward!" I responded, then said to Mr. Allen, "This is my friend, the CEO of Walker Company, Edward."
Edward looked surprised but quickly composed himself, asking, "Mr. Allen, what brings you here?"
Gary smiled warmly and extended his hand. "Mr. Walker, we just met yesterday. I didn't expect to meet again today."
Damn, they knew each other?
Well, Edward's business was quite substantial, so it was normal for Gary to know him.
Edward was visibly intrigued as he asked, "Mr. Allen, what are you doing here?"
Gary smiled. "I came to visit John!"
Upon hearing this, Edward's gaze toward me completely changed, there was confusion, doubt, and shock!
"John, when did you get to know Mr. Allen?"
I smirked. "I just got to know him a few days ago."
"Mr. Allen, since you're acquainted, that's even better," I said.
