You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 241 They Should Have A Child

Nina's thoughts were brought back by the pain in her wrist. Instead of blaming John for her pain, she softly called him, "Honey..."

Since Nina called John honey in the BL Mountain, he had always asked her to call him honey. Most of the time, Nina felt uncomfortable and was reluctant to do so.

She hadn't got used to calling him in this way.

She would call him honey only when there was nobody else around. She wouldn't do so if there was an outsider.

At this moment, only John and Nina were in the ward. Nina called John honey again, with blinking eyes full of grievance.

John was shocked when he woke up and found that the person in front of him was Nina. At the same time, he felt guilty.

He pulled Nina and made her stay in his arms. Then he loosened his grip on her wrist and held her tightly.

Nina's fragrance rushed into his nose. He felt at ease with Nina in his arms. Thinking of what happened a moment ago, he felt guilty.

'What did I do just now?'

'How can I hurt her?'

John held Nina more tightly in his arms. He whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry."

He dreamed of what happened on his ten-year-old birthday.

On that day, a gangster sneaked into the Shi family. John was held hostage. His head was pressed into the pool and even poked by wood.

He almost drowned.

He was just a kid then and wasn't able to resist the strength of an adult. At that time, he felt that his life would come to an end soon.

At the last moment, he struggled to fight back.

In a panic, he found a plastic knife that was used to cut the cake. He raised his head from the water with all his strength and stabbed the gangster to death.

The spraying blood stained his whole body. He held the knife tightly, trembling slightly. The blood on the knife fell on the ground bit by bit.

Since then, he had been afraid of water.

He not only feared water, but also had nightmares if it rained heavily.

If anyone approached him when he had a nightmare, his first reaction was to end the person's life.

He subconsciously knew that the person sleeping next to him was Nina, so he could only grab her wrist. However, he was still full of vigilance and coldness.

"Honey, I'm sorry." John whispered in Nina's ear in a low and trembling voice.

A gentle kiss fell on her hair.

Nina wouldn't blame John. She poked her head out of his arms and rubbed her head against his chin. She kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "Since you have said sorry, I forgive you."

John moved his body, reached out his hand and took the right hand of Nina. He saw that her wrist was red.

He sighed slightly, feeling sad because he had hurt Nina.

"Nothing. I'll be all right soon." Taking back her hand, Nina lay in John's arms, pulled the quilt and covered themselves with it. She closed her eyes and said, "Let's sleep. Don't be afraid. I'm with you."

John looked down at Nina and smiled, with gentle eyes.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" John asked.

"No." Nina shook her head.

Nina knew that John would tell her what had happened when he wanted to do so.

Besides, he just had a nightmare. He would have to recall the painful experience again if Nina asked him anything about the nightmare.

Nina didn't want to force him to talk about the nightmare.

John knew that Nina was sensible and caring. He didn't know whether it was good or bad.

In fact, he preferred Nina to be willful.

"Honey, I love you." Holding Nina in his arms, John slowly closed his eyes.

After John fell asleep, Nina slowly opened her eyes. She touched his sleeping face with her hands and gently smiled. "I love you, honey."

The next day, the rain stopped.

The wind blew into the ward through the open window. Nina woke up. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Morning!" Nina said with sleepy eyes. Then she turned around and continued to sleep with her arms around John.

There was a garden in KL Hospital, full of all kinds of flowers. After the rain, there was fragrance of the flowers, mixed with the smell of soil.

John felt the freshness of the wind was intoxicating, just like the little girl sleeping in his arms at the moment.

He looked at Nina, lost in thought.

Richard, who was standing by the window, wisely left the ward.

As soon as he went out, he met Nelson and his wife and son. Richard was stunned and greeted them politely. Richard told them that John and Nina were still asleep.

Chester held his parents' hands and said, "I said it was too early. Uncle John and Aunt Nina are still sleeping."

"I have no choice. Your father and I are going to catch the flight at nine o'clock, so we have to come here early." Chester's mother was Sandra Qin. She was born in an ordinary family, but she was a very gentle woman. She was more than 30 years old and still looked like a young lady from a well- educated family.

She bent down, straightened her son's collar, reached out and touched his head. "Your father and I may come back in a month. From now on, you have to be obedient to your uncle and aunt. Okay? Don't make your aunt angry, or your uncle will be unhappy. If he is unhappy, he may beat you. Do you get it?"

Sandra Qin said, as if she was coaxing a child.

Chester was ten years old. In his parents' eyes, he was of course a child.

However, Chester didn't think he was a child. He nodded his head and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore. I won't cause any trouble to Uncle John and Aunt Nina."

Of course, Nelson believed Chester. Nelson touched Chester's head kindly.

"Let dad hold you. Let's wait outside." Nelson scooped his son up and the three of them waited at the door of the ward.

Richard didn't say anything.

After a while, John's low and magnetic voice came from the ward, "Nelson, Sandra."

"Uncle John is awake." Chester said with excitement and they walked in the ward.

When they came in, John was lying on the bed. Nina was standing by the side of the bed, with a red face and swollen lips.

It was obvious that Nina had been kissed by John.

Nelson knew it at a glance. He looked at John and joked, "It seems that we don't come at a right time."

Sandra Qin lowered her head and smiled.

John and Nelson exchanged glances, which made Nina even shyer. She invited Nelson and Sandra Qin to sit on the sofa.

Sandra Qin smiled gently. "We just come to see if you're all right. We didn't know you were in the hospital until yesterday."

"I heard that you fell from a building and hurt your waist." Nelson put down his son, walked up to John with concern, stood by the bed and looked at John up and down. "You two sleep together. Is your waist all right?"

John was speechless.

He thought that his family just liked making fun with him instead of caring about him.

"No problem." John said slowly and firmly.

Nelson held back his laughter and said, "That's good. Sandra and I are going to Provence and stay there for a month. Please take care of Chester."

Sandra Qin said to Nina, "Nina, thank you for taking care of Chester. He is obedient and won't disturb you."

Nina didn't feel anything strange about the first sentence that Sandra Qin said.

However, she felt there was something wrong with the second sentence.

"It doesn't matter. With a child at home, I won't be too boring." Nina agreed.

"Yes, then you should have your own child and the North Yard will be much more lively." Sandra Qin held Nina's hand and thanked Nina with a smile.

Nina pursed her lips, lost in thought.

'The North Yard is so big. How many children should we have to make it lively?'
