Chapter 464 - Ears (2)

...

After Noah received Christy's text message in the hospital, he sent a location to Joe with Ferne's phone and asked him to investigate. Then, he sat quietly on a chair and watched Ferne's sleeping face.

To be honest, Ferne was very handsome and kind of sunny. Among the brothers, he was the kind of person who was very easy to get along with at the first sight. People would felt that he was very funny.

The moment Noah heard the gunshot, his heart trembled, and he still felt a lingering fear. It was as if the bullet hadn't hit Ferne's abdomen, but hit his chest.

His limbs and bones were trembling due to fear.

Ferne was very optimistic and he had friends everywhere. He liked to swear. He was also noisy and annoying. Most importantly, he was married and his parents were healthy.

As for Noah, he was alone. He only had one family, Christy

Apart from her, he had nothing.

Noah stood up and took out the cigarette from his pocket, preparing to go out and return after smoking.

Just at that moment, Ferne suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Fuck! I knew you would sneak away!"

Noah frowned. He couldn't understand. "Are you pretending to be asleep?"

"Of course! I knew you wouldn't be able to stay here with me. I just wanted to see how long you could hold on. I didn't expect that you wanted to leave in less than three minutes! Damn!" Ferne was actually very sleepy, and his injuries hurt. He really endured it for a long time. If he was an ordinary person, he would not have been able to give up.

"I'm just going out for a cigarette." Noah took the cigarette box out of his pocket.

Ferne couldn't help but ask, "Then will you return later?"

Noah looked at him and didn't say anything.

Ferne said, "You can smoke at the window. I'm relieved to see you here."

He seemed to spit out the last sentence without thinking. After he said that, Ferne felt that something was wrong. But seeing that Noah didn't seem to hear it, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep again.

Noah took out one cigarette, bit the filter, and walked to the window. Thinking for a while, he sat back in his chair. He just bit the cigarette and did not make any movements.

Ferne waited for a few minutes and discovered that Noah didn't leave. Only then did he quietly open his eyes and meet Noah's gaze.

He was lost for words.

So awkward.

"Don't you smoke?" Ferne asked.

"I don't want now." Noah bit his cigarette and his voice was blurry.

Hearing this, Ferne thought his voice was sexy, and his ears were inexplicably red.

He lost too much blood and his face was pale. So his red ears were even more obvious.

Noah frowned and looked at him. Then he went forward to touch his forehead.

Ferne shrunk and said, "What, what are you doing?"

"Do you have a fever?" Noah touched his neck.

"No." Ferne was a little excited by his touch and tried his best to lower his voice.

Noah touched the back of his ear. "Then why is your ear so hot?"

Ferne was dumbfounded.

Awkward.

Looking at his bashful expression and noticing that he was dodging, Noah sensed something and sat back in the chair.

Ferne felt the subtle atmosphere and asked, "Give me one of your cigarettes."

"Are you tired of being alive?" Noah's eyebrows cocked.

"I don't smoke. I just want to grind my teeth." Ferne gestured to him with his mouth half-open.

Just as Noah was about to take one from the cigarette box, he heard, "I want the one in your mouth."

He was speechless again.

Noah took off the cigarette from his mouth and stared at Ferne lying on the bed.

His gaze made Ferne's heart tremble. Thus, he tried to find himself an excuse. "You don't smoke anyway."

Noah stuffed the cigarette into Ferne's mouth and he held the bottom. Unless Ferne could smoke it from the filter to the end, he couldn't touch Noah's finger. It was probably because he bit Noah last time, thus it affected him for a long time. Ferne thought and bit his cigarette. He didn't say anything and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep.

Noah entered the bathroom. Not long after, he took a towel and wiped Ferne's face and hands. Later, he wiped his feet. After cleaning up, Noah went to the bathroom to take a bath and came out with a dry towel wiping his hair.

Ferne couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Noah was worried that Ferne was pretending to be asleep again, so Noah deliberately leaned close to him. They could nearly kiss each other, but Ferne's eyelids did not move.

He really fell asleep.

Noah picked up the cigarette falling on the bed. Ferne bit the filter too hard as if he had a grudge against it. It was more like that he wanted to taste Noah's smell on the cigarette.

Throwing the cigarette into the garbage can, Noah lay on another bed, turned off the lights, and closed his eyes.

After lying down for a while, he turned around and looked at Ferne. Under the warm yellow lamp, he lifted his face slightly and lay down. His mouth opened because he had a cigarette at the beginning. The patient's clothes were very loose, which only covered his chest, exposing his neck and Adam's apple.

Ferne was a man with his parents and wife around him, and his career was successful. Even if he was married, there were still plenty of women who wanted to sleep with him. Even if he didn't have the current family's status and wealth, he was still charming to many girls because of his handsome look.

Noah rolled over and turned his back to him.

He couldn't help but recall that night Ferne was injured. The moment he was sent into the operating room, he whispered something.

"Noah, I have something to tell you. When everything is over, you must listen to me...."

What did he want to say?

Noah could know that without guessing.

A faint sigh sounded in the air.

It sounded like someone felt regretful, or felt reluctant.
