Chapter 193: Coming and Going (7)
"Hmm, you must be tired, William Hawkins. Go back and rest, I’ll stay here." Joyce Lopez was pleased that it was just William Hawkins in the room. If the old lady was here, she might not even be able to get through the door.
"No need, I’ll leave when my brother wakes up." William Hawkins refused. This was a mission entrusted to him by his grandmother, and he had to stay until Bryan Cooper woke up.
"Don’t you trust me? Look at you, you haven’t changed your clothes all night, and they’re all wrinkled. Go change and take a shower, it won’t take long to go back and forth. When Granny Hawkins and the others arrive, you’ll definitely be back. If your brother wakes up, I’ll call you. Is that okay?" Joyce Lopez tried to persuade him.
"...Alright, then I’ll go change my clothes and take a shower. You watch him for me while I’m gone." William Hawkins was convinced. He did want to go back for a bit, but he hadn’t expected that it would be Joyce Lopez who would come to replace him.
Seeing that William Hawkins was willing to leave, Joyce Lopez finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat down, originally wanting to take advantage of this time to take a good look at the man in front of her, who made her heart flutter and filled her thoughts. But Bryan Cooper hadn’t given her a chance – as soon as William Hawkins left, he woke up.
Joyce Lopez hadn’t been seated for even half a minute before she saw Bryan Cooper open his eyes. Even though she couldn’t properly adore the handsome features of his sleeping face, the fact that they were now alone together still gave her a little thrill of excitement.
"...Why is it you?" Bryan Cooper looked at Joyce Lopez’s direction, and after a long silence, finally asked.
