Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 654

"Blair..." Wesley's voice was hoarse, still clearly heard in the quiet ward.

Blair was busy entering the password to her laptop. She paused and wondered if she was hearing things. Was Wesley calling her name?

As if knowing what was on her mind, he croaked her name again. "Blair..."

It was Wesley! She stood up from her chair abruptly, almost knocking it over, and rushed to his bedside. When her eyes met his, Blair was thrilled. "You...you're awake!" she exclaimed.

"Mmm hmm." He was as taciturn as usual.

Blair immediately pressed the nurse-call button. Seconds after she did this, the attending doctor was in the ward to give him a thorough check-up. While the doctor was checking on Wesley, she called Cecelia, who stayed in her and Wesley's apartment. She needed to hear the good news.

After the exam, the doctor said that Wesley was out of danger. All he needed was to have enough rest and eat some nutritious food.

The news that Wesley had woken up got out. He had more visitors now than when he'd been in a coma.

Whenever people came to his bedside, Blair would remain quiet, busy taking care of Wesley as if she were a nurse.

And when Cecelia came to take care of Wesley so that Blair could get some rest, Blair would leave the hospital. Wesley didn't have a chance to say a word to her.

Every day, Wesley's ward was overcrowded with flowers, fruits, supplements and various kinds of gifts. They ran out of room on the tables, and things were now being stacked on chairs or even on the floor. There were far too many well-wishers, too. He found dealing with these people really exhausting.

Three days later, he finally put his foot down and told his friends to stop coming to visit. He was happy when he did that—he finally got some peace and quiet, and was able to rest as per doctor's orders.

More importantly, he finally got the chance to talk to Blair. She was sitting at the bedside, peeling an apple. "Blair..." he ventured.

"Huh?" Blair paused, holding the knife to the apple, but didn't raise her head.

"Why do you..." He stopped mid-sentence.

It was really rare for him to behave like this. Blair waited for a bit, but didn't hear anything more, so she raised her eyes to look at him. "What?"

"Why do you never complain?" He had already learned from his mom that Blair had been taking care of him the whole time. When people came to visit him, she would hide. If she couldn't hide, then she'd just act like a nurse, keeping quiet and taking care of his needs.

"Why should I complain?" She lowered her head to keep on peeling the apple.

Before he could say something, she added, "I'm not your girlfriend. So why should I complain? But don't worry. I'll take care of you. It's the least I can do after you saved my life."

'So this is just to repay me? Not because she cares? Maybe I misread things, '

Wesley thought. He could vaguely sense that she wasn't happy. She kept her calm, betraying no emotion on her face, but somehow he knew she was angry. In the past, she always had a sweet smile for him.

But now, she was expressionless. Since he had opened his eyes, she hadn't smiled once.

After peeling the apple, she de-cored it, and cut it into wedges. After that, she put the slices on a plate and placed it on the bed table before him.

Wesley looked at the apple and then asked, "Why not blame me?" 'She probably knows that I got injured for Megan. And she hates Megan a lot, ' he thought.

Blair found Wesley really hilarious. "Why should I blame you?" 'Now he's being silly. Blame him? For what?
