"I'm thirsty."

She had thought that he'd call a nurse, but to her surprise, he poured her a glass of water, sat on the edge of the bed, and helped her sit up.

Not only did he help her sit up, he even made her lean on him for support. She frowned and protested, "Mr. Fowler, I can sit up by myself, thank you."

He looked at her wordlessly.

There was no emotion in his deep eyes, yet Rena felt that they spoke volumes.

Rena didn't dare to argue, so she just leaned on his shoulder and took a sip of water. She didn't know if she was imagining things, but she felt that he suddenly held her more tightly.

Just then, the door to her ward swung open.

Conrad inadvertently walked in on such a romantic scene. He then asked with a kind smile, "How are you feeling, young Lady?"

Rena blushed furiously.

But Waylen, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind at all. He held onto Rena until she was finished drinking water. Then, to Conrad, he said,

“Miss Gordon got into trouble thanks to my sister. It's my responsibility to take care of her."

Conrad smiled good-naturedly.

"I see!"

Conrad checked up on Rena to make sure that she was fine. Then he smiled at her and joked, "Since Waylen took it upon himself to take care of you, you'll recover real soon.”

Rena's cheeks turned even redder.

Conrad chuckled and then left to give the two some privacy.

Rena reached for her phone on the bedside table to call Eloise. Seeing this, Waylen said casually, "I've already informed your workplace and your family that you'll be away for a few days."

Rena‘s outstretched hand paused midair. She was speechless.

Waylen didn't seem to notice her dissatisfaction-not that he cared either, and continued, "My assistant will bring you some food."

Rena gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Unable to stand it anymore, she blurted, “Are you worried that I'll destroy your sister's relationship? Is that why you keep a close eye on me now?"

Waylen was busy texting his assistant while she spoke. Hearing this, he chuckled.
