Chapter 214 She Owed Him A Kiss
After leaving Lucia's apartment, Paula rushed to the hospital.
When she found the ward according to the floor and room number given by Lucia, she stood at the door and suddenly hesitated.
Wouldn't she seem too proactive? She had lived for more than twenty years and it was the first time that she had ever taken the initiative to care about a man.
Thinking about it, Paula stood at the door for a long time and finally made up her mind.
She planned to take a look at him through the door and leave when she saw that Burton was okay.
She pressed her body against the door and tiptoed to look inside.
Although she could see through the glass, this was a VIP ward, so she couldn't see everything inside.
From her angle, she couldn't see much.
Maybe...she should move to the side? Paula moved to the far right of the glass window, squinted her eyes, and looked in, but she still couldn't see the person on the bed.
"Hello? Do you need any help?"
A female voice suddenly came from behind. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Paula was shocked and turned around quickly.
Seeing a nurse standing behind her, she smiled a little awkwardly, "I'm...looking for someone, but it seems the wrong person.I'm sorry."
With that, under the suspicious gaze of the nurse, she had to bite the bullet and walk to the side.
At the same time, in the ward, Burton was lying on the bed when he heard a sound from outside.
He somehow had a strange premonition.
Was it Paula? The voice he had heard just now sounded like hers! He immediately sat up straight, picked up his phone, and made a call immediately.
In the past few hours tonight, he was lying in bed and had nothing better to do.
He wanted to make this call countless times and listen to her voice, but he finally dropped the idea.
Even today, when he was sitting in the car and the car hit the wall, Paula's face flashed in his mind.
The way she smiled at him jokingly, the way she frowned and looked angry...All the previous scenes flashed through his mind like a movie...
Paula was just about to leave when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
When she took a look and saw the caller ID, her heart trembled.
Why...why did he suddenly call her?! Could it be that he had heard it just now? Paula bit her lips, and her heart was pounding.
She mustered up her courage and pressed the answer button.
She pretended to be calm and preemptively asked, "Hello? What's the matter?"
Burton's voice seemed a little restrained, "Are you outside?"
When Paula heard his words, her nerves instantly tensed.
She looked at the door of the ward in a panic, gritted her teeth, and said, "What outside? I don't understand what you're talking about."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Burton said again, "Well, tell me where you are, and I'll go see you."
On the other end of the phone, she could feel the determination and enthusiasm of Burton's tone.
At that moment, she suddenly had the urge to go see him.
She tightened her grip on the phone, and her nose felt sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.
After a moment, she took a deep breath and said softly, "No, you lie down and don't move.I'll go see you."
She hung up the phone, turned around, and walked quickly to the ward, pushing the door directly open and walking in.
Burton was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like he was about to get out of bed.
When Paula suddenly rushed in and saw this scene, she hurried forward and said angrily, "What are you doing? Didn't say I would go see you?"
He was still injured, and there were several bruises on his face, which made her feel distressed unconsciously.She reached out her hand to push Burton back on the bed.
But when her hand just touched his arm, Burton's face changed, and he frowned and gasped.
Seeing this, Paula quickly raised her hand and didn't dare to touch him again, "What's the matter? Did I touch your wound?"
Burton snorted softly, "Yeah."
As soon as she heard this, she immediately became anxious, and reached out her hand to lift his sleeve, "Where are you hurting? Let me see if something is wrong."
When his hand was touched by Paula's soft hand, Burton shivered.
He suddenly stretched out his arm, held her hand, and pulled her towards him.
Suddenly pulled by a force, Paula couldn't stand firm and fell directly towards him.
Unsurprisingly, she fell directly into Burton's arms.
She raised her head in shock, and he kissed her on the lips before she could say anything.His lips were soft, and she froze in place.
She was kissed by Burton? Paula's mind went blank.She opened her eyes and saw only his long eyelashes...
After a moment, Burton raised his head slightly.
He looked at Paula's dazed expression, smiled, and put his hand on her cheek softly, "You owe me this."
The last time she was drunk, she had taken the initiative to hug him and kiss him.
Afterward, she forgot all about it.
But he had remembered it.
Now he finally found a chance to get even with her.
Paula was slightly startled.
She blushed and looked at her blankly, "Ah? What?"
Seeing this, Burton smiled even more.He leaned closer to the tip of her nose, and said softly, "It's nothing.Just remember it.Without waiting for Paula to say anything, he leaned over without hesitation and kissed her lips again.This time, his kiss was much more affectionate than the first time.He put his arms around her shoulders, no longer satisfied with a light kiss, but gently and deeply savoring every trace of her sweetness.Paula felt like the world was spinning, and her head was dizzy.She unknowingly stretched out her hands to wrap her arms around Burton's neck, and her body was getting hotter and hotter...
The sudden knock on the door startled them, and they separated instantly.
Then, the door was pushed open, and a nurse walked in and routinely asked, "Ward 602, do you feel any discomfort?"
The blush on Burton's cheeks still hadn't faded and he said, "No...no."
Paula was sitting beside him with a blushing face.
When the nurse saw this, she smiled knowingly and didn't say much, and immediately turned around and left the ward.
As soon as the nurse left, there were only two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
They had kissed when they were drunk last time.
But this time they were both sober, so face-to-face alone would naturally be a little embarrassing.
Burton took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, looked at Paula, and said, "Paula..."
"Well, it's getting late.I should go."
Paula stood up quickly, and said with erratic eyes, "You have a good rest.If there is anything, we will talk about it next time."
With that, she quickly walked out of the ward before Burton could finish his sentence.
Burton watched her disappearing at the door and had to swallow it.
He had planned to confess his love for Paula.
Outside the door of the ward, Joshua was standing by the window smoking a cigarette.
Seeing Paula hurriedly leave Burton's ward with a blushing face, he smiled.
They were so greedy even in the hospital.
He snuffed out his cigarette, walked into August's ward, and sighed, "Guess who came out of Burton's ward when I was outside just now?"
August was flipping through the contract on the tablet computer.
He wasn't interested, and he didn't even lift his head.
Seeing this, Joshua smiled, and said slowly on purpose, "It's the Lucia who visited you in your ward today..."
Before he finished his sentence, August's face darkened and he looked at Joshua with a cold gaze, "Who?"
Lucia came out of Burton's ward.
How could it be possible?C
