Chapter 228 "I Might Fall in Love with You."
Through the window, Stefan looked at the man lying in bed. Rhys' face was deadly pale after thesurgery and he was still deep in sleep.
Stefan pursed his lips lightly, deep in thought. He held the doorknob and loosened it again andagain. In the end, he didn't go in the ward.
Martha came over and happened to see it. Stefan was standing at the door like a statue.
She came close and asked softly, "Why not go in to check on him?"
Stefan frowned lightly, hesitated for a while and finally shook his head.
Martha thought men were the most difficult to understand when they were being childish.
"Actually, you've cleared out the misunderstandings. Why not get along with each other?"
It couldn't be more obvious. Now that Stefan and Rhys had got rid of the misunderstandingsbetween them, and learned the truth, they should get on well, since they were brothers by blood.
Stefan pondered it. Get along with each other? Was that even possible between Rhys and him?
"I owe him a debt of gratitude, for he saved Jimmy's life. But I can't accept him or admit he's one ofmy family," said Stefan in a low voice.
Martha had seen that coming.
Stefan was too proud to admit and accept Rhys.
However, Rhys had done so much for one purpose only, which was to be accepted by Stefan.
Maybe they both needed time to reconcile and take it.
Martha didn't think she could do more to help, and she didn't have anything to their relationship."Suit yourself. I only know he's saved my boy."novelbin
Stefan stared at her for seconds and turned around to leave.
She watched him leaving and couldn't tell how exactly she was feeling deep down.
She went in the ward and looked at Rhys in bed. She couldn't feel more thankful to him when hecame to her and agreed to take the surgery. He was like a savior to her!
A moment later, Rhys woke up slowly. Maybe the anaesthetic was still working. It took him sometime to realize where he was.
Then he saw Martha looking at him with concern.
"Hey. How are you doing?"
"Are you concerned about me?" Rhys smiled and said jokingly, but his voice sounded a little weak.
Martha glimpsed at him and said, "Gee. You still have the energy to flirt with me. You must be fine,then."
Rhys looked around the ward and saw no one else.
Somehow, he felt kinda lost and sad.
He didn't tell anyone about the surgery, not even Mrs. Williams, but probably, she would know itsooner or later.
So far, no one else except Martha would come visit him.
Martha poured a glass of hot water and handed it to Rhys, who had sat up on the bed.
He could feel the warmth of the water through the glass.
Unconsciously, he smiled, looked at Martha and teased, "You care so much about me, Martha. I'mafraid I might fall in love with you."
Actually, Martha had been used to his flirtation or sweet words. But she was touched when sheaccidentally saw the passion and earnestness in his eyes.
For one second or two, she couldn't tell if he meant it or just joked.
