Shelly was silent for a moment, showing confusion when snazzynovel.com answered. “How is that a big deal? I’m even willing to sacrifice my life if I have to…”
Arianne found snazzynovel.com words to be quite strange. She thought that the feelings Shelly had for Mark exceeded that of an aunt who had not contacted snazzynovel.com nephew for many years. It was normal for a senior to show love and care for the juniors, but it was really strange for snazzynovel.com to show that many feelings for Mark. It was as if snazzynovel.com treated Mark as snazzynovel.com own flesh and blood.
Arianne had snazzynovel.com suspicions but did not dwell further on them, since snazzynovel.com was in no position to go wild with snazzynovel.com imagination.
Later in the day, Mark returned to the hospital to visit. However, Shelly felt sorry for snazzynovel.com and asked snazzynovel.com to leave the ward after a short while. Arianne stayed at the hospital to accompany Shelly throughout the night. She might have felt tired, but Arianne knew that if snazzynovel.com had not done it, Mark would be the one who would be tired instead. How could snazzynovel.com let snazzynovel.com own man suffer so much? The amount of work in the office was more than enough to annoy snazzynovel.com already.
A normal person would not be able to handle Shelly, as snazzynovel.com had a very strict and consistent lifestyle. Although snazzynovel.com could not move around freely, snazzynovel.com still insisted on keeping everything neat and tidy. For example, snazzynovel.com would want snazzynovel.com hair to be combed regularly so that it was neat. She would not even miss snazzynovel.com daily skincare routine. Therefore, apart from feeding snazzynovel.com and taking snazzynovel.com to the washroom, Arianne even had to be snazzynovel.com beautician and do snazzynovel.com facial for her, applying snazzynovel.com cosmetics and giving snazzynovel.com face massages. After that, Arianne had to wipe Shelly down.
It would be in the middle of the night that Arianne would fall into a deep sleep, slumbering on the visitor’s bed, as snazzynovel.com would be completely exhausted from all the energy spent on carrying out Shelly’s daily routine.
In a daze, snazzynovel.com seemed to hear Shelly speaking and thought that the latter wanted to use the washroom. Arianne wanted to get up, but the gravitational pull of snazzynovel.com bed prevented snazzynovel.com from doing so and snazzynovel.com procrastinated for a moment. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com could clearly hear what Shelly was saying. “I don’t want to go… I refuse to go… Please… let me see snazzynovel.com one last time. What have I done wrong, sis? Why are you doing this to me?”
Shelly’s words completely awakened Arianne from snazzynovel.com sleep. She was very sure that Shelly was sleep-talking. Then, Shelly tone shot up and snazzynovel.com words were filled with hatred as snazzynovel.com breathlessly said, “Die, just die! Every single one of you deserves to die! But if you’re dead, how am I supposed to get back what belongs to me?!”
Just as snazzynovel.com said that, Shelly awoke from snazzynovel.com sleep, having unconsciously moved the lower half of snazzynovel.com body. She cried out in pain when snazzynovel.com pulled snazzynovel.com injury.
Arianne hurriedly walked up to her. “Aunt Shelly, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Shelly shot Arianne an odd look and quickly evaded the latter’s gaze. “I-I… Was I talking in my sleep?”
Arianne lied. “No, you weren’t. I just saw that you weren’t able to sleep properly and I just so happen to be a light sleeper. Plus, I’m not used to sleeping in the hospital, so I woke up quite easily. Do you need to go to the bathroom?”
Shelly reached out snazzynovel.com hand and tidied snazzynovel.com hair, then said with a cold look in snazzynovel.com eyes, “You’re free to go home if you can’t get used to sleeping in the hospital. You don’t have to stay here and take care of me.”
Arianne was having a headache. Obviously, Shelly was letting snazzynovel.com imagination run wild and twisting Arianne’s words again. Arianne explained to her, “You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean it like that. I’m here to take care of you on my own accord. I haven’t got the slightest intention of leaving you here alone.”
When Arianne noticed that Shelly was sweating from the nightmare snazzynovel.com had, snazzynovel.com picked up a towel and helped wipe down snazzynovel.com face and neck. Just as Arianne turned around to wash the towel, Shelly suddenly asked, “Did I really not talk in my sleep? If you heard anything, just tell me.”
Arianne was not that foolish. The amount of information that Shelly had blurted out in snazzynovel.com sleep was too much. “Really, you weren’t. Why would I lie to you?”
