Female Novel
Chapter 1389
Unaware of her surroundings, she rolled over to hold onto Ian’s arm. “I feel awful.”
Startled, Ian’s immediate reaction was to retract his arm, but he suppressed the urge to do so as soonas he saw Cindy’s flushed face. Meanwhile, she rubbed herself against his arm. “Do you know howhard my life is?”
Furrowing his brows, Ian said nothing, whereas Cindy sniffled, as her nose was stuffed. Then, shemuttered, “Why would you study the arts instead of enrolling in a regular course? I won’t be able tosupport you.”
Ian waited for a while, but upon noticing that Cindy wasn’t about to continue rambling, he retracted hisarm slowly. On the other hand, the room service got him some medicine swiftly, while the meal heordered had arrived as well, which he had them send to Cindy’s room.
In the meantime, Ian stared at Cindy while standing by her bed as he wasn’t sure what to do, sincehe’d never taken care of a sickly person. As his assistant, Cindy never caused him any trouble, so hefigured it would be cruel of him if he were to leave her on her own. Therefore, Ian gave her a light pushafter a while. “Wake up. You have to eat dinner and take your medicine before going back to sleep.”
However, Cindy didn’t respond to him. Feeling somewhat defeated, Ian held her up while giving her agood shake. “Can you hear me?”
Not only did the sudden jolt of movement make Cindy dizzy, but it also upset her stomach. Her brainwas still in an addled state when she opened her eyes, and when she did, she shoved Ian away. Then,she leaped out of bed to make a dash for the washroom before emptying the contents of her stomach
into the basin. To be honest, she was only retching, as she didn’t eat much throughout the day,whereas Ian watched on impatiently while standing by the door to the washroom with a frown on hisface.
After that bout of nausea, Cindy was feeling a lot better. She was about to leave the washroom aftersplashing some water on her face, only to be caught off guard by Ian’s presence by the door. “Why areyou here?” novelbin
With a frown on his face, Ian remarked dryly, “I have been here all this time. It’s just that you didn’tnotice me.” Cindy was taken aback. Turning to leave for the living room, Ian informed her, “I orderedsome food, so come have dinner and take your medicine before you go back to sleep.”
Humming, Cindy followed him into the room with tousled hair, as well as a dampness to her face andhair. Ian handed her a piece of tissue. “Wipe your face.”
Taking the tissue from him, she sat down in front of him while clutching onto it, but didn’t use it to dryher face. As Ian had ordered a light meal, Cindy could enjoy it as well, but she didn’t have much of anappetite despite having spent a long while staring at her meal.
Digging into his meal, Ian lifted his head to check on her later. “You’ll have to take a few bites even ifyou don’t feel like it, or else you’ll just end up upsetting your stomach after taking the medicine.”
Perhaps it was because of the care he displayed toward her, for Cindy was suddenly feeling a littlebolder. Licking her lips, she asked, “Can I ask you a favor?”
Ian continued eating after letting out a hum. In a feeble voice, she made her request. “Can you lend mesome money? You can deduct it from my next paycheck.”
Upon hearing what she said, Ian hummed, seemingly unfazed by her request, which surprised her.“Does that mean you’re okay with it?”
Instead of providing an answer, Ian asked, “How much do you need?”
After some thought, she told him, “I need five thousand.”
“Sure. I’ll make the transaction in a bit.” He didn’t hesitate at all.
Cindy was feeling rest assured now that her problem was taken care of, and her speech became muchmore fluent. “Thank you.”
Keeping a straight face, Ian gave her a warning. “Just make sure to not give me more trouble.”
Cindy knew he didn’t wish for her illness to deter his work, so she nodded eagerly. “I will feel bettertomorrow.”
Ian made no remark, so they ate in silence. After that, Ian left the room, whereas Cindy heaved a sighof relief while standing there.
