Female Novel
Chapter 221
Considering Pierre’s aggressive attitude and powerful voice, Selena didn’t think he looked likesomeone who had gone on without food for more than ten hours, nor did he seem to be a patientwho had just undergone an operation. He is a living proof of the marked difference betweenmonsters and humans.
Then, Selena stood to leave, but when she arrived at the door, she recalled the nurse’s instructionthat Pierre shouldn’t be eating before passing gas. Now that he needed food, she figured she couldno longer avoid the question.
“Selena, what business do you have while dallying at the door?”
Hesitantly, she got back into the ward. “Well, I do have something that I have to settle.”
“What else could possibly be more important than my meal? Quickly! I am famished! I need somefood right away!” He began throwing a hissy fit, so perhaps he was starving indeed.novelbin
“You can’t eat yet.”
“Why not?” Pierre stared at her with wide eyes.
“There’s… There’s still one very important question.”
“What is it? Ask away! Is it somehow illegal for me to eat?” There was genuine confusion in hisgaze while he looked at her.
“Of course it’s not illegal, but…” Selena was sweating anxiously. How should I even phrase this?
“Selena Yard, what’s up with you? Spill it out!”
Upon hearing that, Selena sat down solemnly. “This is a serious matter that I was told to ask by thenurse, but it might sound a little awkward.”
“Speak!”
“H-Have you p-passed g-g-gas?” She could hear her voice trembling. Hanging her head low, shewas burning with shame, as she felt incredibly uncomfortable asking a man such a question.
“What do you mean by that? Why would I let out any gas?” It was apparent that he couldn’tunderstand the medical term as well.
“Oh, it’s just as I say, passing gas…” She decided she should stick to the medical term.
“Selena, I’m not a vehicle. I don’t have an exhaust pipe.” He was still as confused as ever.
Distraught, she roared with abandon, “I’m asking if you have farted! Have you farted?” As soon asshe let it all out, she realized she might’ve been too loud, as the nurse who came to check on themended up retreating from the ward after bursting into laughter. At that moment, Selena wished shecould disappear from the face of the earth just like that to be rid of her humiliation.
Pierre froze, but he soon burst into laughter. “Selena, do you have no shame to ask me that? Sincewhen have you gotten so brazen?”
On the other hand, Selena was overcome with feelings of defeat, figuring that it was all becauseshe had to attend to the man who took a stab for her. “Do you think I wish to ask you that?! Thenurse needed to know if you have… Well, you know, before you can ingest anything! I have toreport to the nurse if you haven’t done that, as it might be a sign that there are some othercomplications after the operation.” Her face was already a scarlet hue, but she had no other choicebut to go all out now.
“Uh, um, well… What are you even trying to say? What’s the point of avoiding that word now thatyou’ve already used it once?” He watched on in amusement.
Rolling her eyes at him, she figured she already had nothing to lose. “So have you farted, my goodsir?”
Seeing that Pierre motioned for her to come closer, she obeyed, after which he told her, “Go get mesome food. I’m almost at my limit. I might die of starvation at this rate.”
“So did you…” Selena was on the verge of tears. Why must I keep on repeating the question? Oh,my dignity!
“Silly girl, don’t you understand?” He gave her a knock on the head.
“Is that true? Don’t you lie now, mister. This is an important matter!”
Feeling somewhat speechless, he asked in return, “Would you like to wait under my blanket while Iget ready to fart again?”
