Chapter 257 - WHO ELSE DO YOU LOVE?

Instead of going to work, Jillyanna stayed in the hospital to make sure that she's around if ever Travis wakes up again.

"I postponed all the work schedule for today." Savannah informed her after sending an email to the people who they will be meeting for appointments. "Travis is really taking his time but it's good as long as he wakes up."

"I will give him an earful once he is fully recovered. How dare him for making me wait." Jillyanna sneered while whispering to Savannah.

"Right. Go ahead and do that to teach him a lesson." Savannah agreed without any hesitations at all.

Watching them whispering non-sense made Shein smile for his sister. He was glad that she was finally relieved and genuinely happy after a month of suffering from the accident.

"Since we are not going to work, can I go and see Riley?" Shein asked Jillyanna who was watching the video of Travis again. It was the fifth time she watched it.

"Isn't she going to audition for a movie?" Jillyanna asked without lifting her head to see her younger brother.

"She will. It would be in three days and she's at home reading scripts and practicing lines. I intended to help her." Shein answered innocently but upon realizing that they will be alone, his blush started to creep up from his neck to his face and ears.

"Young man, you won't be helping her but you will distract her. Do you think she will continue to practice with you around?"

"Right. I get your point."

"Of course you do. Hehe." Jillyanna's teasing grin was very obvious that he was blushing even more.

"I am not like that."

"What? Did I say anything about you?" Jillyanna feigned innocence and watched the video again.

"Stop teasing your brother." Savannah nudge her elbows but Jillyanna didn't even bother to listen.

One whole day passed and there wasn't anything new. Travis was still sleeping!

They kept it a secret between them since they don't want to give false hope to other people but once he would recover fully, she will tell everyone about it.

"Don't you want to see me anymore?" Jillyanna turned grumpy as she sat on the chair beside his bed. When the doctor did another set of test, there was a faint and slight response from Travis. Little it may be, it was still a good hope. However, Jillyanna was sulking because she didn't get to see his eyes on that day.

"Fine! Sleep all you want and wake up when you want. I don't mind as long as you won't forget me. That's the scary part of your recovery, you know. If you dare forget me, I will cripple you myself."

She threatened him and didn't hide her mood swings at all. She was really upset that she didn't work and didn't see him wake up as well.

"Well, what's one more day compared to one month. I will wait for you. So hubby, take your time and recover soon."

Shein and Savannah shook their heads while watching her flip from one mood to another. She looked so foolish talking to sleeping man but she looked cute and adorable whenever she smiles to the person she loves.

"It's night time!" Shein exclaimed happily and put his laptop back to his bag. For the whole day, he was only playing computer games and he's never been this bored in his life. When the clock strikes 5:30 in the afternoon, he was finally elated. "I feel a little guilty for Jackie because she worked and I didn't. To repay my guilty conscience, I am going home to cook for the twins."

"Aish! You only want to see Riley! Stop making an excuse." Jillyanna rolled her eyes on him but her lips were smiling. "I don't want the twins to die from food poisoning so go out and have dinner together instead."

"Is my cooking that bad? Riley said it wasn't."

"Of course she didn't want to deflate your happiness but it was really bad. Your cooking was my nightmare." Jillyanna told him her opinion without sparing him any mercy. She was brutally honest with it.

"Hey! How can you be so heartless?!" Shein was pouting from frustration. He couldn't believe that his sister would put it that way. "It was my first time to cook and I put so much effort in it."

"I know but it was really unpalatable." Jillyanna added another strike on his sore spots. "So, if I were you, don't cook."

"Don't be so honest with your opinion. That really hurts my pride." Shein sulked on the side while hugging his laptop bag. He felt so wronged after getting that honest evaluation after how many years.

"We all have things we're good and bad at. In your case, you are good in computers but bad in cooking." Jillyanna explained to him her side. She didn't want him to think that he was good in cooking when he was not. What if he will cook for someone else and got a really worse evaluation? Wouldn't be more painful than getting it from her? "And don't be so upset, I'm telling you the truth because I love you, okay?"

"Who else do you love?" The tone sounded so painful and was holding so much regret. It was the voice that she hadn't heard for so long and she missed it so bad.

She thought she was hearing things but when she looked at Travis, he was watching her intently.

All three of them were surprised and shocked. Even Hawk opened the door to check on them because they suddenly turned silent when they were so boisterous not long ago.

What he saw was really unexpectedly surprising. Travis was looking at Jillyanna like no one else exist in his line of vision.

"Who..are.." he fell asleep again when he wanted to ask her something. He seemed confused and was thinking about something because there was a frown on his face.

"I'm so dead." Jillyanna uttered softly before placing a kiss on his frown. "Don't sleep immediately next time. Let me explain, hn?"

"I love you, too Sis." Shein chuckled knowing that she was put in a predicament.

"Shut up! Go away already you little rascal!"

Shein bid farewell to Savannah and left the room still smiling like an idiot.
