Chapter 749 Accompanying Her for a Night
After finishing their meal, a nurse came to take Evelyn’s temperature and conducted some basic checks. The conclusion was that she had a slight inflammation in her bronchi, but medication would suffice and she would need to take it for a week.
In the morning, she would also need an intravenous drip of three bags of fluids to further stabilize her condition.
“You must be this young lady’s boyfriend, right? Next time, don’t wait until the fever gets so severe before coming. Fortunately, there are no other major issues with her health this time, but such high temperatures definitely cause some damage. Be sure to take care of her in the future!” The doctor couldn’t help but lecture, following the completion of the injection.
Huston had taken care of her for a whole day and night, and everyone naturally assumed he was Evelyn’s significant other.
Just as Evelyn was about to explain, she heard the man beside her amiably respond, “I see, I will definitely be more careful
next time.”
Setting aside when he had become so patient and humble in front of others, it seemed like he had fully embraced the role of being ‘her boyfriend.”
Evelyn had no words to say as she watched him interact with the

doctor in the manner of a patient’s family member. Initially, she felt a bit annoyed, but after observing him for a while, she started to feel a strange sense of reliance.
Setting aside everything else, just based on his presence and character, this man indeed had the aura that made people want to depend on him.
“All right, call me if you need anything. Pay attention to the IV drip. If it’s gone, call someone to change it.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After the doctor left, Evelyn watched the anti-inflammatory medication slowly drip down. She felt a bit anxious and said, “Can you speed it up? I want to finish it sooner and leave.”
“What’s the rush? Administering it too quickly will irritate your stomach.”
“I’ve already eaten.”
“Let’s continue at this pace then.” Huston instinctively rejected her request, knowing well why she was in a hurry. He said, “No matter how late it is, I’ll take you home to see Lucas today.”
Upon hearing this, Evelyn was first taken aback, then a bit embarrassed. She did want to see Lucas, but did she show it so obviously? Could he tell to such an extent? How could he tell at a glance?
“Lucas is at home and can’t run away or get lost. You’ve been waiting all night, a little longer won’t make a difference. Lie down and rest for a while. I’ll call you when the infusion is
Inished.” He adjusted the bed back to its original position and placed an extra pillow beneath her head, making her more comfortable.
She had just woken up and was not sleepy, but now she felt a little sleepy.
She lay there with boredom in her eyes, on the brink of drifting off to sleep. Huston sat in a nearby chair, his gaze fixed on the documents that had been sent by the company on his phone. However, it
was to her that he spoke, with a statement rather than a question, “Bert is maliciously interfering with the investment project I’m involved in. You’re aware of this!”
It was not a question, but an affirmative one.
She had heard her conversation with Bert on the phone yesterday, and of course, Evelyn had no intention of hiding it from him. Still, being asked about it face-to-face made her feel a bit awkward, “Yes, I know.”
“In this matter, I don’t want you to be involved anymore. Let it end here.” His dealings with Bert, although triggered by her, were ultimately matters between men. She was caught in the middle, with no benefit to gain.
Evelyn clenched her hand beneath the blanket, her voice barely audible, “It was me who asked him to come back. Everything he’s doing is to help me. At that time, when you secretly took Lucas away, I was desperate and didn’t consider everything so carefully. Now, asking him to stop would be like burning bridges.”
