Toward the afternoon, the handsome man finally slowly woke up from his deep sleep inside the room with no light.
After his dark eyes were opened, there was a fleeting moment of peacefulness and relaxation. But quickly, it was replaced by cold light, “Why are you still here?”
The cold look, sharp like blades, struck straight as the unwanted visitor who was sitting there as though fossilized – Qin Ruhai in his white lab coat.
Qin Ruhai acted as though he didn’t see that look at all; he walked up to him filled with excitement. “Da ge, you were asleep for 1 hour and 45 minutes! This was the longest time you were able to nap!”
(T/N: Da – big. Ge – brother. Older or oldest brother.)
Siyi, standing to one side, noticed the displeasure from his boss.
“Young Master, I failed to stop Dr. Qin from walking in here, and once we saw that you were asleep, we dared not move again.”
Qin Ruhai nodded in agreement, “You suffer from neurasthenia. When you are sleeping lightly, you are easily woken up by any noises or lights.”
And just like that, Qin Ruhai explained his presence.
“But you fell asleep miraculously earlier, and didn’t wake up to the noises when we came in.”
Flipping through Huo Sishen’s medical record, Qin Ruhai was amazed.
“I must further study the sudden sleep incident that occurred today. What happened before you fell asleep? Did you take any pills? Can you still recall what you felt before it happened?”
Huo Sishen’s quiet, dark eyes slowly fell on Qin Ruhai.
His handsome brows furrowed.
Earlier… the girl was talking to him. She seemed too frightened to approach him but she carried on chattering nonstop.
Then he remembered his old butler and ... then he fell asleep.
Was he simply too tired?
Perhaps, his body has reached its limit finally
His hands that were resting next to his abdomen rolled into fists.
With the slight movement of his arms, the suit that was laying on top of him slipped off of him.
Huo Sishen looked closer and his groggy eyes saw the suit that was now only half-covering his body.
Was she the one who placed it on his before she left?
His thin lips were shut tightly; his brows furrowed, and he stood up.
“I don’t know, Qin Ruhai. You are the doctor, not me.”
Qin Ruhai, “……”
This was the second time he wanted to smack his patient’s head.
What was he to do?
Huo Sishen walked past the two people standing in front of him with a cold and rock-hard look; his slender body stopped in front of the window.
Inside the darkness, he pulled over a sliver of the curtain and dim light poured into the room.
It was so bright outside it made him squinted.
His memory became very clear after his short rest.
He remembered clearly the moment before he fell asleep --- her terrified look, hesitant pace, the struggling within her – they were all seared into her brain, so real that he couldn’t get rid of them even if he had wanted to.
His slightly cold dark eyes looked like a bottomless body of water, a thick sense of sarcasm flashed through them.
No actions could cover up that fear in those eyes!
He saw right through them!
“Siyi, have the butler make the arrangement.”
He tossed the suit in his hand directly onto the floor.
“Let her know that there’s a price to pay if she wanted to stay.”
Stupid lies, fake stubbornness, let’s see how long she could keep that up.
He had given her choices, but she chose not to take them!
Now he wanted to see how much she could take!
