Chapter 602

Cordy walked towards the tea table and picked up the bowl of chicken soup, which was still warm.

She just happened to desire something warm and filling like this, but she left half of it.

She wasn’t sure if Lucas had eaten, but she definitely wasn’t finishing such a huge bowl on her own.

She was still taking sips of the soup when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, clad in expensive dark-green silk pajamas.

Cordy had to admit that he had the looks to scorn the world, and somehow understood his disdain forothers.

She smiled ever so subtly-it turned out that in this world, people were fundamentally skin-deep.

“I saved half the soup for you. Do you want it?” she asked.

“Yeah,” he replied, and walked up to her side.

There was still steam swirling around him; he must’ve bought his own soap as well, since he smelleddifferent.

Cordy shifted aside since both of them didn’t like to get too close with each other, though she must alsoacknowledge that he was a looker.

However, her movements left him frowning, and he snorted in disdain-as if she was doing it deliberatelyto draw his attention.

Cordy was speechless.

She would admit that he was handsome, but that didn’t mean she would throw herself at him like everyother woman would! In fact, she was maintaining her distance from him entirely because she was notinterested.

The ward was quiet, and Cordy soon finished her portion since she had the soup first.

Then, she threw the disposable spoon into the bin and returned to her bed.

As she lay down, she noticed that Lucas was still in his pajamas.

The hospital was warm, but he was really dressed too thin. At this point, Cordy was traumatized afterthat terrible cold she had.

She wanted to tell him several times, but he seemed to have an instinctive wariness towards her andwould consider anything she said to be an attempt at seduction.

Suddenly, without batting an eye, he snapped with a hostile tone, “Just spit it already!”

Does he have a third eye growing somewhere?!

Nonetheless, her heart abruptly stopped. She felt a stabbing pain as she remembered John for a splitsecond.

John was always able to read her intentions in the same way.

But this man wasn’t John, even if he resembled John remarkably.

Cordy calmed herself, and said bluntly, “You should put on more clothes. It’s cold.”

As Lucas looked up at her, she added, “Do whatever you want. I’d just rather we didn’t infect eachother.”

Lucas said nothing, but he suddenly picked up the down coat he placed beside him and put it on.

For once, he wasn’t mocking her or snapping at her for trying to seduce him.

After supper, Lucas cleaned the room a little. Cordy realized that he was a clean freak with a tinge ofOCD.

He spent some time sorting her hospital admission documents, and even more time on the things hehad bought.

At around two in the morning, he lay down on the bed prepared for him and turned the lights in theward to the dimmest.

Cordy put away her phone, knowing that she would have less chance of falling asleep if she keptlooking at it.

“I’m telling you, don’t think you can do anything you like to me just because we’re sleeping in the sameroom,” he warned amidst the darkness.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you,” she snapped in retort.

“You better not be.”
