Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 167

167 /630

At the thought that Lambert was injured for her, Ariana compromised and picked up the rice porridge to feed it to him.

He took pleasure in watching Ariana serve him, a rare opportunity. The feeling was wonderful.

Ariana could feel Lambert's gaze fixed on her. She chose to ignore his strange look.

...

Due to the need to stay temporarily at the hospital to look after Lambert, Ariana asked Conan to bring her laptop to help handle some urgent files.

While Ariana was working intently, she was suddenly interrupted by Lambert's voice, "Ari."

Indeed, Lambert had already adapted quickly to the privilege of commanding Ariana. He would never let go of any opportunity that could benefit him.

She looked at Lambert, who had put down the seemingly profound foreign-language book used to stave off boredom, his beautiful eyes staring straight at her.

"I need to use the bathroom..."

Honestly, Ariana saw a bit of eager anticipation in his eyes.

"..."

Ariana showed resistance to his request. But seeing Lambert shamelessly give a playful wave of his hand, reminding her of his weak state from blood loss, she agreed to assist him.

After helping him to the bathroom, she wanted to let go of Lambert. However, this idea was impossible to realize because Lambert would sway it due to his weakness as soon as she let go.

Lambert looked at Ariana who intentionally avoided his gaze, and couldn't help but smile.

He knew she was shy.

Upon hearing the clear sound of water, Ariana felt a surge of turmoil in her heart.

She was not an oblivious young girl anymore. She still felt as if Lambert was toying with her.

By the time she had finished tending to Lambert and helped him back to bed, Ariana thought she saw Lambert's lips slightly pursed, forming a stunning curve that further saddened her.

As soon as Lambert got into bed and looked at the rare winter sun appearing outside the window, which seemed warm and comforting, he requested, "Let's go for a walk."

Before Ariana touched her notebook, she heard this from Lambert and felt distressed.

"You can have a nurse take you!" she said.

Lambert smirked and said, "Aren't you afraid that one of the nurses might try to seduce me?"

Taken aback by his words, she remembered the shy expressions on the faces of the nurses who had brought food and medication to Lambert earlier that day, and even the doctors who had come in to check on him seemed particularly enthusiastic. She casually replied, "That would be nice, it might make my job easier."

Regardless of her words, Ariana knew that keeping a patient confined to his room wasn't the best idea, so she chose to accompany Lambert for a walk.

Being a private hospital, the garden was huge but sparsely populated.

Ariana pushed Lambert's wheelchair around the garden.

The winter sun shining on them was comfortable, combined with the refreshing cool breeze, caused Ariana to feel noticeably better.

As they passed the large lawn, they heard the argument of a man and a woman. On taking a closer look, Ariana and Lambert saw a family of three. The child, about four or five years old, stared blankly at his arguing parents.

His gaze was far from the innocence expected from a child of his age.

The gist of their argument was quite straightforward — the child was not well, and the young parents, while working, also had to look after their sick toddler, thus feeling mentally and physically drained.
