Chapter 674 - Fantasy (1)

Janessa spent nine days in the hospital. On the tenth day, Collin came and told her that she could be discharged. Then Armando went to go through the formalities.

They hired a nursing worker. However, most of the time, the worker just stayed aside and watched Armando take care of Janessa although it should be done by the worker.

He almost did all the things like wiping Janessa's face and hands, which made the worker a little embarrassed when she was paid. She said, "I did little here. I shouldn't have been paid so much."

"Don't mention it. Thanks for your hard work." Armando was reticent. After saying that, he turned and went out to go through the formalities.

"You're the one who works hard." The worker put away the money and sighed as she looked at the back of Armando. "What a good man."

Then she came back to pack things. Janessa was getting out of bed. Now she could do some movements which were not too strenuous, like walking. But she couldn't walk too long and had to have a rest from time to time. Besides, she suffered from some after-effects of falling off the horse, like a slight concussion, the damaged heart and lung function, as well as the injury of spine soft tissue. Sometimes she also couldn't hear well.

"Your boyfriend is really good to you." When helping her out of the bed, the worker praised him. Janessa only heard the first sentence. She was about to refute. But in the end, she did not say anything.

"I've been working as a nursing worker for so many years. It's the first time I've seen such a young man who is even more caring and considerate than a woman. He's so good to you. You should cherish him."

After coming back, Armando saw Janessa sitting alone at the bedside in a daze. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Janessa shook her head.

Armando nodded, then went to pack the package next to the bed. After that, he went to the bathroom to put the toiletries into the bag. Finally, he looked around to check if there was anything left.

"Let's go." He walked to Janessa and supported her with one hand.

Randy, Ferne, and Noah had all come to see her during these days in the hospital. She liked it when they brought her joy here, which could get her out of many unpleasant memories and just focus on the present. She liked it.

But after the bustle, there was only silence in the ward. Janessa turned over several times and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say. Instead, Armando took the initiative to talk about many embarrassing things that he and his brothers had done.

"Did you say once a man professed his love to Ferne when he disguised himself as a girl? It's so funny! I will laugh at him loudly next time I see him!"

Except for the several nights in the beginning when the two of them remained silent, they chatted until it was late at night before falling asleep. Janessa's phone had been switched off since she called Benson, and Armando had never stepped out of the hospital since he arrived here.

Armando didn't know what this period meant to Janessa, but it was so precious for him. It was assuring for him to see her every day when he woke up.

"I'll stay in the hotel." Seeing that the taxi stopped at his apartment, Janessa remained in the back and did not want to get out.

"I won't live here," Armando said to her after paying the driver and taking out the luggage.

Hearing that, Janessa pursed her lips and got out of the car. Armando had rarely lived here since he bought it. But Janessa tended to stay here for a few days every time she came back. Occasionally, when in a bad mood, she would come here for a smoke or a drink alone which were all bad habits that could not be known to the Mosbies.

Her things remained in the apartment, as well as her coat on the sofa. Armando never asked anyone to clean up. Instead, he would do the cleaning himself. It seemed that he didn't want anyone to find that Janessa lived here, or he didn't want to be disturbed by others.

A lot of food in the fridge had expired. Armando packed them into a few trash bags and took them out. Then, he went to the supermarket to buy some things and came back to cook lunch.

Janessa switched her phone on. Fortunately, Benson did not call her again. There were more than two hundred missed calls and more than one hundred unread messages. They were all from Warren. She flipped through them casually and threw the phone aside.

The food in the kitchen smelt delicious. Janessa walked to the kitchen step by step with the support of the wall. When reaching the kitchen door, she saw Armando cooking wearing an apron.

He was meticulous in everything, different from Ferne and Randy who were glib. He was reticent but reliable. Janessa knew it a long time ago and appreciated it very much.

At this moment, looking at his back in the kitchen, which reminded Janessa of the night when they stayed at the Tibetan's place. That night, he sat on the bench and made a fire to do some delicious food for her.

From beginning to end, he didn't do anything wrong.

But...

But...

"Are you hungry?" Armando turned around and wiped the sweat off his forehead.. "Just wait for another ten minutes."
