Chapter 110 - What’s there to fear in a challenge (1)_1
Ruby Bluen stayed in the Military District hospital for a total of one week.
She could have been discharged the next day, but Marcel Horne insisted she continue her hospital stay. He had the doctors give her a thorough checkup. Despite not finding anything wrong, he still wouldn’t let her leave. He said she should stay a few more days to rest well and recover her strength before being discharged.
Ruby had no choice but to stay in the hospital.
As the company commander, Marcel couldn’t possibly stay in the hospital every day to keep Ruby company. Even though she wished he would stay with her daily, the thought of his current status made her bury that desire deep in her heart. She even generously urged Marcel not to worry about her. Her fever had subsided, and she could take care of herself. She reassured him to return to the Military Camp to take charge.
And Marcel really did leave, leaving only Andrew Carter to keep her company.
Once Marcel left, Ruby’s heart felt heavy and constricted.
You big ice block, you dead ice block! Telling him to go was like granting him a pardon; he ran off faster than a rabbit.
In his heart, did he not even want to spend another day with me?
But whenever she thought about how she had always been chasing him, with the goal of marrying him and becoming an army wife, the words "army wife" reminded her that she couldn’t be as willful and unreasonable as a pampered young lady.
She consoled herself and dispelled the gloominess in her heart.
