Chapter 307: Chapter 307

Chapter 307 What Did She Buy On the fifth day, Wyatt’s wound finally scarred over, and he was in high spirits, alive and well.

When the doctor declared him to be fine, Curtis made arrangements for him to be released from the hospital.

The day of his release from the hospital was Christmas Eve. It had been snowing since the morning, signaling a heavy snowfall to come later.

After arriving at the hotel, Wyatt rushed upstairs.

As soon as Jessica opened the door, he threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly, showering her with kisses. “Babe, I’ve missed you! Why didn’t you come to visit me in the hospital?” he asked.

“Hey, stop it!” Jessica muttered. Afraid of affecting his wound, she pushed his face away. “Mr. Faymon and Mr. Xavier took turns taking care of you, right?”

“I don’t give a d*mn about them.” Wyatt pouted unhappily. “I waited for you every day, but you didn’t even answer my calls.”

He took her hand and placed it on his chest. “Feel it. My heart still aches.”

Jessica wanted to pull her hand away, but he refused to release his grip on her.

Through his shirt, Jessica could feel his heart thumping furiously.

Suddenly, Jessica felt horrible.

She was taken aback by her sudden emotions and didn’t know how to respond. Her eyes welled up with tears as she pressed her lips together, remaining silent.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Wyatt became anxious when he saw her biting her lip silently. He wrapped his arms around her and said, “It was just a joke. I wasn’t mad at you. I know you didn’t come to the hospital because you were worried about me.”

“I wasn’t worried about you.”

“Okay, okay. Don’t cry. Otherwise, people might think I’ve been mistreating you.”

Jessica gave him a light punch and buried her head in his chest. “You did bully me. Why did you take that bullet for me? Couldn’t you have ignored me?”

“Of course not. You’re my girlfriend. No, you’re my fiancée.” Wyatt belatedly realized they were already engaged. Why do I keep calling her my girlfriend? I’m a fool.

He brushed his fingers through her hair and said sincerely, “You’re not just my fiancée; you’re also my darling. You mean a lot to me. As a man, it’s my responsibility to protect you, and I would be failing if I couldn’t.”

Hearing that, Jessica felt even more uneasy.

I really hate feeling this sentimental.

Feeling bad for him, she took a deep breath and lifted her head to look at him. “Wyatt.”

Wyatt arched a brow. “Hm?”

“I want...” She pressed her lips together, unable to complete her sentence as the words got stuck in her throat. She wasn’t sure how to express herself.

Wyatt lowered his head to kiss her and chuckled. “I know. You want to spend Christmas with me, right? This is the first holiday we get to spend with each other!”

Jessica didn’t have a chance to speak as Wyatt immediately began complaining about how hungry he was and pulled her toward the restaurant. He chose a table by the window so they could watch the falling snow outside.

Wyatt kept complaining about how bored he had been at the hospital over the past five days, as he only got to spend time with Curtis and Theodore. He was desperate to get some fresh air.

Jessica listened to him quietly.

Soon, Rayna and the rest came downstairs to eat.
