Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 189

Linda hated that Nicholas pretended to be cold and aloof, hated that he did not explain a thing, and hated that he could love her in so many ways, yet he chose the stupidest one! Nicholas jolted, and his wound hurt at that moment. He had stayed too long under the strong sun and felt rather weak. He paled further, and large beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. Zephyr instantly went to check on him. Nicholas' wound had probably opened up as blood seeped from the gauze. Cordelia ran to get the nurse.

Linda crouched down before him nervously and held his hand. "Nicholas... how are you feeling? Is... Is it serious?"

A knife wound was actually nothing to Nicholas. He had already been shot countless times. He was pained by what Linda said and her gaze when she looked at him. He was pained because he did not know how to defend himself and how to get her forgiveness. He did not know if they could still return to how they were in the past.

"Nicholas!" Linda cried harder, thinking he was in a critical state since he was silent.

Cordelia found a nurse, and they wheeled Nicholas back to the hospital ward. He was fine after his wound was redressed. Linda stayed next to him during the process, keeping her eyes on him and gripping his hand tightly.

Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged a smile.

Cordelia said softly, "Honey, I think Linda won't be leaving today. I'll buy her food and supplies before we go home." Zephyr nodded.

After Cordelia left, the nurse asked Linda, "Are you the patient's family?"

Linda was caught by surprise. Nicholas, who was lying in bed, nodded fervently before she could answer.

"You have to watch out." The nurse frowned. "It's so hot outside. How could you wheel the patient out in the sun? It's easy to sweat when the temperature is high, and it does nothing for his recovery when the sweat seeps into his wound!"

"Oh..." Linda nodded in a daze.

"Linda..." Nicholas tugged her, and his voice suddenly sounded incredibly weak. "It's your best friend's husband who wheeled me out in the sun."

Zephyr widened his eyes. He clearly caught the smirk in Nicholas' eyes in a split second!

"So it's you!" Linda twirled around and crossed her arms. "What are you doing? You did it on purpose, right? Taking him out in this weather!"

"It's okay, Linda." Nicholas held back his laugh. "He did it for my sake. He said it'd replenish calcium..."

"Calcium? You don't even have the general knowledge!" Linda raised her voice. "Marcus, I know you two had some beef inside, but it's been so long. Nicholas hasn't found fault with you other than the two previous times, right?

"How could you torture him like this while he's injured!?"

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

"I changed my mind about you seeing how you dote on Cordelia!" Linda rolled her eyes. "I didn't expect you to still be so petty and vicious!"

Nicholas forced back his laugh and continued acting pitifully in front of Linda, looking at Zephyr's scowl.

When Linda turned back to look at him carefully, she saw that he had two blisters on his mouth.

"How did you get these?"

"Oh, these?" Nicholas said faintly, "It's... He took care of me a few days ago and burned me."

"Marcus Grist!" Linda looked like she was going to kill Zephyr.

"Linda, it's okay! It doesn't hurt... I'm not in pain, really! He's taken good care of me. We should tolerate each other..."

"You got burned with blisters, and you're taking his side?" Linda turned around and glared at Zephyr. "Mr. Grist, you don't have to take care of him anymore. Thank you very much! For real, you're unbelievable!

Zephyr's scowl deepened as he took deep breaths. He squinted at Nicholas while the latter smirked and raised his brows back at him-as if to say, "What do you think, Mr. Z? I have a woman to dote on me

too!"
