Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 705
Chapter 705: Looks
Only then did Li Beinian remember to make way. She and Chi Hailang moved to the side to allow him to pass.
Will smiled and knocked twice before opening the door.
The door was opened a tiny fraction. Will looked into the room and then turned around.
When he looked at Li Beinian, he smiled at her.
Then, he turned around and took the tray from the young waiter.
He stood upright, and unlike many other Westerners who were rather large-built, he was of comparatively normal height and build, but his had an upright posture.
After entering, he gently closed the door behind him.
After about twenty to thirty seconds, he came out again and said, “Miss Chi, it’s not convenient for Nico to see guests today. Why don’t you come over tomorrow morning?”
His words were polite, however Li Beinian knew that he was not asking her, but telling her.
Li Beinian smiled and said, “My visit is too abrupt. I’ll come again to see Mr. Nico tomorrow then.”
Will smiled politely and gave a slight nod.
Li Beinian quickly left with Chi Hailang, while Will watched them leave before turning around and returning to the ward.
Will walked in and looked at the man leaning up in bed.
Nico was as calm as ever. Leaned back against the headboard, he was staring intently into the computer screen in front of him.
He noticed Will walking in, but ignored the man and continued to focus on his computer.
Will smiled and spoke in his mother tongue, “Nico, how’s your appetite today?”
Nico’s eyes were still on the computer as he casually responded, “It’s not bad.”
He paused and turned to look at Will. “Has the woman been here again?”
The woman meaning the perpetrator’s mother.
Will understood this and replied, “After she left at 9: 29 pm and hasn’t been back since. However, I took the liberty of asking that person. She said that she’ll come over to take care of her daughter in the day. I didn’t ask about the time as that would have been too abrupt. However, I’ve already asked the girl’s nurse to keep watch. When she comes, the nurse will inform me. Of course, I’ll keep a look out too.”
Nico nodded slightly. “You may serve the food.”
Will nodded and wiped his hands with an antiseptic wet handkerchief before bringing the tray over. “I asked for it to not be overcooked. It should be just done now.”
After removing the cloche, Will did not speak again. Instead, he respectfully waited by the side.
Nico was used to staying in England. Even though he was injured now, it wasn’t easy to get over the jet lag.
This was his usual waking hours and he felt a little hungry.
However, for some reason, being used to the food in England, the meals here did not suit his taste.
He frowned after taking a bite or two, and said, “Take it away.”
Will stood at the side and reminded him, “The amount you’re eating isn’t enough to support your work. You should eat a little more.”
Nico frowned and forced himself to continue.
After a few more bites, he said, “I really can’t eat anymore.”
Will nodded and quickly removed the plate.
After that, Nico meticulously wiped his hands. At this point, Will suddenly said, “That girl just then… she bears a resemblance to you.”
There was a look of surprise in Nico’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “You always say that. Are you wishing I could bring home any girl who might be my daughter?”
“She resembles Miss Bei…” Will paused and continued, “… even more.”
