CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64 LIGHT PINK

"Did you hold me all night?"

Thinking this, Chloe Simpson involuntarily asked out loud.

She stared at him intently, her gaze in this moment like a lovestruck girl’s, with a faint blush on her face.

So close, with such a gaze, Alexander Johnson felt a warmth rising in his chest, his eyes becoming infused with a hint of heat.

For a moment, the two just looked at each other, silent.

It was summer, they both wore thin clothes, and the thin fabric couldn’t hide the heat from their bodies.

Unconsciously, a thin layer of sweat appeared on their bodies.

Unnoticed, even the air temperature seemed to rise several degrees.

Until the sound of activity outside the door signaled that the doctors and nurses had started their shifts, and patients began bustling about, bringing them back to reality.

"No, if you’re going to sleep, just take a sleeping pill, don’t wake up in the middle of the night and pounce on someone while sleepwalking."

Alexander Johnson, realizing his previous distraction and the heat in his heart, pushed Chloe Simpson away and stood up.

Adding a casual comment, he brushed off Chloe’s earlier question.

"I’ve never had a sleepwalking habit."

Chloe was taken aback, muttering that statement subconsciously.

She really didn’t have a habit of sleepwalking!

Neither her classmates, her colleagues, nor her mother—anyone who had slept with her—had ever said she moves in her sleep.

Alexander Johnson felt a bit awkward, stubbornly insisting, "Well, last night you did."

"..." Chloe was still somewhat skeptical, but she said nothing more.

If he says so, then so be it. He really looked like he didn’t sleep at all.

Having slept in his arms all night, if he wants to say something, just let him say it.

Seeing Chloe not arguing further, Alexander Johnson was satisfied and lay down on the hospital bed to rest.

This woman looks so small and slim, how could holding her for just one night be so tiring, with his arms feeling so numb?

He lifted the blanket, laid down, and secretly squeezed his own arm.

Soon, he fell asleep.

Chloe didn’t expect Alexander Johnson to fall asleep so quickly, listening to the steady breathing by her ear.

She couldn’t help but think of last night, when Alexander Johnson held her all night.

In that moment, looking at Alexander Johnson, she inexplicably felt warm inside.

Coupled with the extra quietness of the ward, it gave her the feeling that the whole world was just her and Alexander Johnson.

Unconsciously, Chloe became lost in thought.

She even forgot her own identity, forgot the current relationship between her and Alexander Johnson.

Until the buzzing vibration of her phone woke her, she saw it was a call from Lucas Hughes, bringing her back to her senses.

"Hello, Lucas." Chloe quickly ran to the bathroom to answer the call.

"Chloe, my mom’s back hurts, and I damn went to take care of her, didn’t get much sleep. This should be something you, as her daughter-in-law, are doing, but I did it instead, never mind that."

"This morning, at the hospital, there are rumors of you and Alexander Johnson being all over each other last night! You come over and explain to me face-to-face now, what exactly happened?"

As soon as the call connected, Lucas Hughes’ thunderous roar came through.

"What?" Chloe turned pale.

She quickly tried to explain, "Lucas, listen to me, it’s not what you heard. I..."

"I don’t want to hear anything, come explain to me right now!"

Lucas Hughes didn’t want to listen, shouting like an irritated bird over the phone.

"I can’t go, Lucas, Mrs. Johnson heard about Alexander Johnson contracting AIDS while saving me, and she locked me and Alexander in last night. So, it’s really not what you think."

"The dean was also there at the time, you can ask him if you don’t believe me. We’re locked in VIP ward 606, you..."

Chloe certainly wanted to leave, but she couldn’t get out at all.

"Who did you say? Mrs. Johnson? What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing "Mrs. Johnson," Lucas Hughes instantly backed off, no longer caring for Chloe’s explanation.

Initially, it was him who placed Chloe on Alexander Johnson’s bed, and he knew exactly what was going on between them.

He always had plans to have Alexander Johnson hook up with Chloe to provoke his own junior.

But the rumors at the hospital this morning severely damaged his pride as a man, which was why he was so angry.

"Last night I just..."

Chloe, noticing Lucas Hughes calming down, recounted everything that happened last night in detail to him.

After hearing, Lucas Hughes dared not show any anger: "So that’s it, Chloe, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. But I hope you can understand me, after all, what man could stand hearing such things?"

He comforted Chloe a bit and repeatedly urged her to take care of Alexander Johnson.

Lucas Hughes was already fretting over how to get Chloe and Alexander Johnson together.

Now, wasn’t Mrs. Johnson’s actions exactly helping him?

Next, he just needed to send some food laced with Flibanserin inside, install a surveillance camera in 606, and everything would be perfectly realized!

It would be best if both Alexander Johnson and Chloe ate it, then it would be unprecedentedly exciting! Crazy!
