He Clings to Me Every Night

Adam Howard also noticed that Daniel’s cough was getting more and more severe, it was time to have a doctor take a proper look, or else it might develop into a lung disease.

Heaving a slight sigh, Martin kindly shared, “I also heard Olivia’s first stint as a producer is about to kick off. The TV show she’s overseeing, ‘My Tsundere Husband’ has its opening ceremony tomorrow.”

Adam Howard and Martin exchanged knowing glances, “Thanks!”

With a nonchalant shrug, Martin said, “I’m leaving, Daniel, rest well.”

As Simon Howard helped Daniel drink some water, suddenly, Daniel spat it all out.

In an instant, Adam’s brows knitted together tightly in concern. His handsome face turned grave, his eyes shimmering with worry.

Reactively, Adam touched Daniel’s forehead, it felt hotter.

“Daniel, you should focus on getting better for now. I’ll take care of the company. Given the state you’re in, you shouldn’t leave the hospital. Be a good boy, will you?”

Daniel weakly nodded his head, feeling his eyes burning, head aching, throat hurting, and chest uncomfortable.

The head doctor came in, attentively examining Daniel’s chest and throat, and prescribed some tests.

“Chief Daniel Marshall, let’s start with a blood test, get a chest X-ray, and then an ECG. Once we have the results, I’ll give you a detailed explanation. Your condition is worsening. Your throat is swollen, which is a sign of inflammation, and there’re noises from your lungs, I preliminarily diagnose it as pneumonia.”

Daniel was still coughing, but he nodded his head, following the chief’s instructions.

He had no idea that he was this sick.

Now, he truly felt terribly unwell, his heart aching unspeakably. But even so, even when Olivia cold-heartedly ignored him, the person he thought of was still Olivia, and the person in his heart was still her.

He longed for Olivia to suddenly appear, he wanted to see her, every minute and every second of the day.

Daniel laughed at himself inside. It was his own fault. He didn’t deserve Olivia’s sympathy.

He knew where he had gone wrong, he would change for sure, he would definitely strive to be the best.

…

After hearing about Daniel’s condition from Martin, Olivia remained indifferent.

She was still determined to separate.

Martin chuckled painfully, “Sister-in-law, I’ll definitely convey your message, but in my opinion, Daniel really loves you, he won’t let you go. Why don’t you consider…”

“Lawyer Wallace, have you started matchmaking now?”

Interrupted by Olivia, Martin was slightly startled, locking his hawk-like gaze on Olivia, keenly observing her.

Olivia didn’t evade Martin’s probing. Her gorgeous face showed no sign of emotional fluctuation, making it impossible for anyone to understand what else she might be thinking. Perhaps, her only thought was to separate!

Martin took a deep breath, furrowing his brows and squinting, “I saw him, he really looks pitiful, his illness is severe. In all these years of friendship, I have never seen him like this, it feels worse than a breakup.”

“How about compared to losing a partner?”

Martin didn’t expect Olivia to ask such a question, caught off guard, he didn’t know how to respond.

Olivia’s aura exuded a sharp edge, “The spectator sees more of the game, Martin, you should be able to see more clearly than me. So, don’t mention him in front of me anymore. Whenever you contact me, apart from discussing the progress of the separation agreement, don’t say anything else.”

“Olivia, you’re being deceitful, you say one thing and mean another! You clearly care a lot about Charmy Bennett, yet you pretend to be indifferent. You’re not being honest. A spectator does see more of the game. It takes two to tango. I’m not taking sides, this is what I think about your marriage.”
