He Clings to Me Every Nigh

Olivia Jenkins shoved Daniel Marshallâs hand mercilessly away, refusing to let him touch her.
Cold light shone from her almond-shaped eyes as she glared at Daniel, âDonât meddle with my business! Besides, I can only control what I do, not what others want to do.â
A nearly imperceptible ripple flitted across Danielâs dark eyes. His aloof, handsome face was marked by a sharp chill as he warned, âNeither of these men are up to any good. Donât blame me for not warning you if something goes wrong.â
âSo let me guess, there are no good men left in this world, except for you? Damn it, Daniel, get over yourself!â Oliviaâs pretty face did nothing to hide her scorn.
She scoffed at Danielâs warning.
Daniel himself was just as bad. How could he not see his own faults? How could he presume to judge others when he himself had thick skin?
Daniel fixed his gaze on Oliyim
His eyes shifted with unreadable expressions, deep and dark. His sexy lips parted slightly as he spoke seriously, âI donât make a habit of judging others.
But compared to those two men, I truly am better.â
Olivia burst into laughter, looking down on Daniel in disdain, âYour self-praise is about to reach the heavens! A typhoonâs eye doesnât blow as much hot air as you do!â
Daniel squinted at her, furrowed brows set into a cold frown, âChildish!â
âIf you donât like me, then donât bother with me! What about those other women who are always willing and eager to be at your beck and call? Why donât you go to them? Theyâll go around you spinning up love-struck emojis all day. Iâm sure youâll appreciate their devotion, so donât come around here, sticking to my cold and uninterested face.â
Daniel chuckled, a hint of amusement lurking in his profound eyes, âI can hear the jealousy in your voice. Itâs ok to be clear about your feelings, no need to beat around the bush.â
Olivia sneered, âNot only are your eyes faulty, your ears are too!â âYou like to overthink, donât you? Feeling insecure much?â
âInept talk leads to abyss.â Oliva countered.
Daniel, who now had a non-smiling handsome face, seemed especially heartless, âI know your little plans. No matter what you do, you canât hide it from my eyes.â
âThen⦠wait and see!â
Daniel watched Olivia, his expression mysterious, âI donât expect you to behave perfectly, I just hope you would be more vigilant. People are not always as they appear. Some people can never really be seen through, donât be so self-righteous.â
Olivia watched Daniel as well, but she remained silent.
At that moment, the feeling she got from Daniel was that he wasnât just trying to scare her.
She also sensed that he was hiding something from her.
And that something probably wasnât good news.
However, she had no intention of probing any further.
After cast removal, Daniel tried to walk a little.
Feeling no pain, he increased his pace.
Although his condition seemed fine and there were no major problems, the orthopedic chief still instructed Daniel to be careful and protect his foot. He also needed one more week of physiotherapy.
When Daniel agreed to a timing with the chief, the latter smiled and said, âYou can do it at home, thereâs no need to come to the hospital specifically. Dr. Jenkins knows how, sheâs certified.â
In gentle tones, Daniel looked at Olivia, âShe didnât say she knew how.â
Olivia retorted: âYou never asked! You seem to have a lot of free time, why donât you come to the hospital for physiotherapy sessions every day. Iâm quite busy!â
Danielâs piercing gaze fixed on Olivia, âThereâs always time before bedtime.â
The chief didnât join in their banter, focusing solely on writing the prescription. He chimed in saying, âYou can do foot physiotherapy before bedtime, Dr. Jenkins knows.â
Rolling her eyes at Daniel, Olivia said, âDoctor, you trust me so much, what if I mess up and he ends up lame, I wonât take responsibility!â
The chief responded, âYour elective professor is my friend, he has praised you.â Daniel slipped his arm around Oliviaâs waist, his tone suggestive, âYou it is then!â
