Chapter 126: I DON\'T WANT TO BE...
"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.
Never before had Ramon lost his control like this and had shown the emotion he felt.
Previously, Ramon had always been a person full of self- control and was able to face any situation with a cool head, it\'s just that none of that remained same after he got to know Hailee.
Every time he faced this girl, Ramon would be surprised to find a new side in himself. For example like just now.
How could Ramon ever let out his frustration like he just did now?
"Ah! It hurts!" Hailee growled irritably at Ramon, trying to brush the man\'s hand off of her cheek. She felt like her cheeks would be stretched after this.
However, Ramon didn\'t seem like he wanted to stop until his irritation was completely vented.
And when they were busy \'making out\', Lis suddenly walked into the room and witnessed what Ramon was doing to Hailee.
"Ramon!" Lis rebuked her son, because what she saw now got interpreted in her mind as; Ramon was hurting Hailee and making her cry.
Hearing a familiar voice calling out to him, Ramon automatically released his pinch on Hailee\'s cheek and turned to find his mother walking into the room with a frown on her face.
Looks like this will turn out to be a misunderstanding.
And sure enough, Lis stared at Hailee with a frown and when she saw the tears still welling up in the girl\'s eyes, her mind immediately led her to the worst idea.
"I never taught you to hurt women," Lis said harshly before glaring at Ramon fiercely.
Even though a moment ago she was worried about her son\'s condition and only felt a little relieved after hearing Doctor Bram\'s explanation, that Ramon just needed to rest enough and do what the doctor suggested, but seeing Hailee crying because of Ramon, her anger bypassed her worries.
How could Ramon make Hailee cry like this? What in the world has his son done to make his future wife\'s face swollen and have tears in her eyes?
"You can\'t use your hands to hurt your future wife," Lis rebuked Ramon again, without listening to his explanation first. "You know that Hailee has been up all night to take care of you? How can you make her cry like this?"
This is truly a misunderstanding ...
"That\'s not it mother ..." Hailee herself was shocked when she heard Liz\'s accusations against Ramon. She was happy that Lis was defending her, but she got it all wrong.
Hailee was crying before Ramon even pinched her, and after all, Ramon\'s pinching wasn\'t as painful as it seemed. There was no way Ramon could use force to tug at her cheek.
"Let me look at your cheek," Lis said, her tone softening as she caressed Hailee\'s cheek and watched her closely.
"Mother you have misunderstood, we were just messing around." Hailee glanced at Ramon who didn\'t seem intent on explaining anything, even though he\'s being accused like that by Lis. "Ramon didn\'t hurt me, I was teasing him a little ... we didn\'t even fight."
Okay, since Ramon felt this was out of his hands to straighten out this matter and was showing an attitude that it\'s not a big deal, then Hailee would be the one to explain it to LIs.
"Are you telling the truth?" Lis asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. Trying to find the lies in Hailee\'s eyes, but couldn\'t find anything there.
"Really. Ramon would never hurt me. He always treated me very well." Her words weren\'t completely wrong, Ramon always treated her well, it\'s just that sometimes he could be very annoying and teasing Hailee seemed to become one of his new hobbies.
But, despite of everything, Hailee had been loving the interactions between the two of them these days.
"Then why are you crying?" Lis still asked. She removed her fingers on Hailee\'s chin when she didn\'t see anything odd on her cheeks. Looks like what Hailee said was right and Lis just overreacted.
Maybe, it was her personal experience and she didn\'t want her sons to treat their future wife like their father treated her ...
"I cried because I was worried about Ramon," Hailee complained, lowering her head. "His condition suddenly worsened early this morning even though he was all fine last night."
They even made out ...
However, Hailee wouldn\'t tell Lis about that detail. It will be between her and Ramon alone.
"She cried because she didn\'t want to be a widow." Ramon chimed in in a relaxed tone and pushed the button beside his bed to raise the mattress so he could sit up.
Hearing Ramon\'s words, Hailee slapped the man\'s arm lightly again. "I\'m just kidding, kidding."
Hailee confirmed her sentence and then glanced timidly at Lis. Not wanting Lis to misunderstand this too.
