CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175: MADE THE WRONG CHOICE

Julian Lancaster stood quietly, his gaze falling on the small spot before him.

The hospital bed wasn’t very large, and it was still a bit cramped for two people, but Nina Sinclair invited him to sleep together, and he couldn’t refuse.

Without hesitating for too long, Julian Lancaster lay down.

His tall frame made the bed appear narrow after lying down. Nina Sinclair tried her best to make space for him, sleeping on her side, only able to grab onto the sheet to prevent herself from falling off.

Julian Lancaster lowered his eyes and suddenly reached out to pull Nina Sinclair close.

She instantly pressed snugly against his chest.

Except for when Julian Lancaster slept restlessly at night, they would never be this intimately close. It was the first time they were so close when awake.

Nina Sinclair’s heart skipped a heavy beat, and a few shades of blush appeared on her cheeks.

She felt the warm breath exhaling on top of her head. It wasn’t hard to imagine Julian Lancaster’s face was nearby, perhaps just by looking up, she could see him.

So Nina Sinclair dared not lift her head and rested her face on his collarbone.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

Julian Lancaster’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, his eyes instantly darkening, realizing he had made a wrong choice. How could he sleep in this situation?

However, he was indeed somewhat tired and quickly suppressed his thoughts to close his eyes.

Soon, Nina Sinclair noticed Julian Lancaster’s breathing had become shallow; he must have fallen asleep.

She secretly glanced up.

Julian Lancaster’s handsome face was right above her, his eyes closed, and his lashes were long and thick. Unable to resist, she reached out and touched his face, a faint tingle of heartache surging within her.

In the early hours, Julian Lancaster woke up.

During that time, Nina Sinclair had been clinging to him without daring to move an inch. After all, the small bed left them no room to turn over.

Upon opening his eyes, Julian Lancaster’s gaze quickly cleared, and he released Nina Sinclair to get up.

Nina Sinclair recalled something, saying, "Julian Lancaster, I want to stay here for a couple more days. Why don’t you go back first? It’s hard to rest here, and you’ll get exhausted."

Choosing to stay was to observe that nurse, to see if there were any exploitable points.

Hearing Nina Sinclair voluntarily suggesting to continue the hospital stay, Julian Lancaster showed a surprising look. He had no objections, just a bit curious.

Nevertheless, he said, "If you want to stay, then continue. I’ll come to see you every day."

Julian Lancaster was currently arranging a new apartment near Zenith, planning to move Nina Sinclair out of her previous place.

Even though the previous apartment was good, it was unfortunately a bit far from Zenith, requiring much time traveling daily. If she lived closer, Nina Sinclair could sleep longer each day.

But he didn’t want to live separately from Nina Sinclair, so the room needed some remodeling.

If Nina Sinclair continued her hospital stay, it would coincide perfectly with the timing.

Nina Sinclair said, "Then you should go back to rest at night and come see me during the day."

"Okay." Julian Lancaster nodded.

Nina Sinclair sighed in distress and murmured, "There are still ten days before Vincent Lancaster’s court hearing against me, and I don’t know if I can find a lawyer to defend me in this time."

Ethan Sherman said no lawyer in Crestfall would take her case, and it might be the same in Veridia.

This was indeed a bothersome situation.

If a lawyer was hard to find, then I should gather more evidence for my benefit; otherwise, who would willingly stay in a hospital?

Julian Lancaster glanced at her, "Are you looking for a lawyer?"
