"Hey," Ramon scolded the pensive Hailee as she was staring at him with an expression like she wanted to cry and this really bothered him. "Stop looking at me like that."
Hearing Ramon's words, Hailee burst into tears and buried her face in the hands of the man, who was still lying on the bed.
"Doctor Bram said you have to undergo intensive therapy from now on ..." Hailee sobbed, her tears running down Ramon's hands and this made him frown because he felt his hands getting wet.
Ramon was quite concerned about the safety of his hand hygiene rather than the fact that he had to undergo intensive therapy and cut back on his activities at the company.
However, Ramon couldn't protest. He didn't want this girl to dramatize the atmosphere even more, so the only thing he could do now was to caress the top of her head.
It could be seen from the eye bags and dark circles under her eyes, that Hailee did not get enough sleep last night, because she was worried about himself.
So it would be a lie if Ramon said that he was completely untouchable. He was quite happy to know that Hailee really thought about him, and not just as a show to convince people they were on good terms.
"So, what's the problem?" Ramon asked softly, after a short spell filled with Hailee's sobs, which lasted two whole minutes.
For now, Lexus had returned to the company and Lis was talking to Doctor Bram about what they should do or the details of the treatment later.
An hour ago, Doctor Bram had explained about Ramon's condition and in a nutshell it could be said that Ramon would be fine if he really followed the doctor's advice, had adequate rest and routine therapy, which Ramon almost always missed.
For the latter problem, Hailee promised to pay more attention.
For the rest, there's nothing to worry about, or maybe not yet. Because Doctor Bram said that they would still have to wait and see how Ramon's condition would progress after the therapy or if they needed to change the medicine again.
However, the thing that was most relieving was; they did not have to make any changes to their plans for the preparation of their wedding in three days.
As long as Ramon was under full control, which meant he had to spend the next three days in the hospital, even if it really annoyed Ramon, but for the rest of it there was nothing to be reset.
"The problem is you are sick and I am worried," Hailee said curtly because Ramon didn't seem to be taking this seriously. She lifted her head and the tears that had welled up in her eyes fell down, streaming down her smooth cheeks and trickling down the back of Ramon's hand.
"You are being too much for someone feeling worried about the other person." Ramon sighed softly, he glanced at his hands which were wet with Hailee's tears and frowned slightly.
It didn't seem as scary as Ramon thought.
And even though, right now Hailee is crying with puffy eyes and a flushed nose, this actually made her, strangely, look cute and adorable.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen anyone crying, someone who really cared for him and cried because they saw him in pain and was not a fake concern. Of course they are two different things.
And now, in front of him, this girl did just that. Hailee was really crying and it made the cold part in his heart warm up again. At this point, Ramon didn't even mind if Hailee got his whole body wet with tears, not just the back of his hands.
"I'm really worried, you know!" Hailee hit Ramon's hand lightly. "You were so pale last night and you were knocked out. I'm scared."
Ramon fell silent, he used this silence to pay attention to Hailee carefully, who was continuously wiping her tears that seemed like they wouldn't stop, before he finally asked a question.
"What are you really afraid of?" Ramon asked again, his eyes still focused on Hailee's reddened face.
At first, Ramon didn't expect to hear a melancholy answer from Hailee, but he didn't expect it to be like this either.
Hailee stole a glance at Ramon, before she answered his question. "I don't want to be a widow at such a young age ..." Hailee said slowly, staring at Ramon timidly.
The atmosphere returned to silence for a moment after Hailee answered Ramon's question.
The man also didn't say anything and just continued to stare at Hailee, the girl who just a moment ago, was able to make him feel touched with her tears.
But now, after hearing Hailee's words, Ramon wasn't sure how he felt.
"Hailee."
"Yes?"
"How can you think that you're going to be a widow while I'm still alive?!" Ramon exclaimed in annoyance, he tugged at Hailee's adorable cheek and looked at her in displeasure.
