Feeling annoyed by his constant teasing, she rolled her eyes and tried to step back, but Dylan didn’t easily let her go.
“Ah! I almost forgot.”
Suddenly, as if he remembered something while looking at Lola with burning eyes, Dylan took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to her.
Lola looked puzzled.
“It’s your allowance. Spend it as you like.”
“Dear, I have money.”
“When I give it to you, I told you not to question it and just accept it. You really don’t listen.”
Even so, when Lola hesitated to take it, Dylan pressed the envelope into her hand.
“I gave you cash because you wouldn’t spend it even if I gave you a card.”
The envelope was thick enough to contain more than a million pound. Since they started living together, he hadn’t given her a small allowance.
He had given her at least a million pound at a time.
“I’ll use it well.”
“Yeah!”
Dylan smiled contentedly as he put on his suit.
“The housekeeper will come in the afternoon.”
“A housekeeper? Why?”
When she asked out of curiosity, Dylan looked at her as if he found it strange.
“Why would a housekeeper come? Of course, she’s coming to do housework.”
“I can do the housework.”
“Don’t waste your time on such things. Go play and do something else.”
Dylan patted her head a few times and said he was leaving, looking very reluctant as he exited the dressing room.
‘I don’t want to go to work.’
For the first time in his life, Dylan thought that.
Lola sent him off to the front door with a radiant smile like morning sunshine.
She felt a deep sense of happiness from his small consideration and thoughtfulness, even hiring a housekeeper for her.
******
The house, empty and alone, looked quite big and desolate.
She hadn’t noticed it when he was there, but for the first time, Lola felt intensely how much his absence was felt and how empty it was without him.
To shake off the feeling of emptiness, Lola placed her laptop on the living room table and booted it up. While the laptop was booting, she was sipping coffee when a text message chimed.
Lola reached out and picked up her phone from the table.
– Lola, was there anything unusual yesterday?
It was a text from Gia.
‘There’s no secret in this hospital, after all.’
No matter how much she tried to keep it under wraps, rumors spread quickly.
After all, it was only a matter of time before Gia, who was close to Nurse Sasha and also a psychiatrist, naturally learned about what happened in the ward and any incidents that occurred.
– I heard there was a commotion in the VVIP room yesterday? You didn’t get hurt, did you?
As Gia sent consecutive messages, Lola quickly typed a reply.
[I’m fine. I didn’t get hurt anywhere.]
Although she wasn’t injured, she had lost a lot of hair when Amaya had pulled her hair yesterday, and her head felt tingly and numb.
– What’s up with that patient? I heard he’s Dr. Becky’s patient, but why did they suddenly change the attending physician? It’s strange.
[Gia, I’m not hurt anywhere, and nothing happened, so you don’t have to worry. And don’t tell Dylan anything.]
– ok
Gia immediately replied.
– I’m just worried about you.
[^^]
After reassuring Gia, Lola subtly changed the subject.
[By the way, Gia, you said something unnecessary to Dylan.]
– ?
[Dylan asked me what gift you gave me.]
– Ah, that. Haha.
[You annoying little girl. Why did you say something unnecessary to Dylan? Do you know how much trouble I had trying to cover that up because he kept asking?]
– But haven’t you tried it on yet? If you keep saving it, it’ll go to waste.
It wasn’t that she was saving it; she was just too embarrassed to wear it.
Thinking of the sexy pajamas made Lola’s face flush instantly.
After a while, she finally sent a reply.
[If I wear something like that, it’s not Dylan who will go crazy; I’ll be the one who gets embarrassed and lose my mind first.]
[And don’t ever mention what I asked you earlier to Dylan. If he finds out, it’ll just be a headache.]
Just when she thought her phone would be quiet for a while, a message chimed in after some time.
– What on earth is it that you’re so embarrassed about? What do you mean by me going crazy? And what is it that I shouldn’t know about?
The sender was unexpectedly Dylan Eve.
But why?
Why was Dylan Eve sending such a message?
—”What on earth is it that makes you say you’d be mortified? What am I going crazy over? And what else shouldn’t you tell me?”
