Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Going to See Karl

The room fell into silence

“Ah, I almost forgot my appointment with Dr. Sears.”

Abby said, “Honey, let’s go. Don’t you want to go to the museum?”

Steven nodded. “That’s right. Hailey, we’re gonna head out.”

His two sons looked at their wristwatches at the same time. “We have a lot of office work to do, so we’re leaving too. Owen, take good

care of yourself.”

Benson said, “Yeah, I have something to do at school. Hailey, bye!”

Bob and Gene also waved goodbye to them. Polly smiled with her eyes and lightly closed the door. The Moore family members were all

gone. The crowded ward became empty again. Hailey was dazed and felt a force from her wrist. She looked down and saw Owen was

still gripping her. Her brows furrowed.

“I’m sorry.” For fear of annoying her, Owen quickly apologized and let go of her. Her body temperature still lingered on his fingers, and he

clasped them.

Hailey looked down at him and asked, “Is there anything you want to say?”

“Yeah,” Owen nodded and gestured, “take a seat.”

Hailey sat down calmly and started, “Thank you for your rescue.”

“No worries, it’s not a big deal,” Owen said in a husky voice. “It’s what I do.”

“You don’t owe me anything.” Hailey said. “You got hit twice because of me. The bruises in your brain have been removed, but the surgery

in your skull puts you in danger of infection. You should rest properly and be very careful.”

“I will.” Owen gazed at her, “Thank you for saving me again.”

Hailey said, “You got hit because of me anyway. I owe you. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. I’ll do everything within my power to

help.”

Owen’s heart started to thump. The encouragement from his family crossed his mind. He knew that he shouldn’t be opportunistic and

push his luck, but this was the closest he had been to her since their divorce.

The monitor displayed a rise in the patient’s heartbeat and body temperature. Hailey noticed it, furrowed his brows, and poured him a

glass of water.

While stroking his chest, she muttered, “Patients who have brain surgery should avoid getting emotional. High body temperatures will

lead to infection. Calm down.”

Owen tried to contain his emotions, but her hand was stroking his chest. He felt like his heart was in the grip of a warm palm and it beat

even faster. The monitor was still displaying a rising curve. Hailey realized something and tried to draw back her hand, but Owen gripped

her once again. Her fingers were caught this time.

His deep eyes were a bit red. He said, “Don’t move, stay this way. Give me a minute.”
