"What do you want me to say, Mr. Frye?" she asked.
He chuckled before looking away and tapping his fingers on his steering wheel. "Forget it. It's nothing.You should go."
Cindy herself felt like she had something to tell Gary too, but at that moment, she couldn't seem to findthe words. So, after hesitating for a while, she ended up stepping out of the car. After waving at himand reminding him to drive safe, she strode toward the inpatient wards. Ian had been waiting for Cindyto come over. He had already prepared dinner in his room, but he hadn't started eating yet.
Aurora wasn't in the hospital as she already headed home a while earlier, and Ian's driver was sittingon the empty bed beside him. When Cindy let herself into the room, she immediately noticed that Ianlooked like he was waiting for someone. "Who are you waiting for?" She hadn't told Ian that she wasgoing to visit him in the evening.
Ian's driver immediately jumped off the bed when Cindy walked in. "Okay! She's here. You guys caneat now. I'll leave you guys alone."
Cindy turned to look at the driver. "We can eat together. Where are you going?"
The driver sauntered toward the door. "I'm not interested in having a meal with you lovebirds. I'd rathereat on my own." Upon hearing that, she looked away and smiled before placing her bag on Ian's bedand washing her hands.
Ian didn't injure his limbs, so he could still get out of bed to walk around. Instead of eating on the bed,he led Cindy to the couch by the side, where the dishes had been set up on the coffee table. Cindyraised her cutleries to scoop up some vegetables. "By the way, Mr. Frye was the one who sent mehere."
Ian's movements came to a halt. "Did you bump into him on the way here?" Cindy shook her headbefore giving him an honest answer. "No. He came to my company. But we didn't talk much—he simplysent me over and left after I got out of the car."
"Why are you telling me all these details? Are you afraid that I might get angry?" Ian asked. Shethought about his question for a while. "I just wanted to tell you the truth so that there won't be anymisunderstandings between us."
Ian reached over to pinch Cindy's cheek. "That's a good girl." Since Cindy was being so transparentabout her actions, Ian didn't hold anything against her. "Okay, I got it. I know there's nothing going onbetween you guys." He scooped some more food onto her plate. "I've booked the flight tickets. You canstart packing, and we'll leave next week."
Cindy was stunned. "Are you even fit to travel?"
He felt the bump on the back of his head. "The doctor said that he'll monitor my condition for anothertwo days and that I'll just have to be a little more cautious after he decides that I'm fine. There shouldn'tbe much of a problem."
Furthermore, Logan was in charge of organizing the engagement party, so Ian didn't need to worrymuch about that. Cindy nodded. "You know yourself best. Your health should be your priority, okay?"
They didn't say much after that and simply ate dinner in silence. Ian's driver didn't come back evenafter Ian and Cindy had finished their meal. After that, Cindy stayed in the room to accompany him.
