Chapter 1424 He Had Seen Her
Marcellus didn't feel at ease despite her words, his gaze complex as he looked at the girl beside him. "Beryl, I..."
The more she saw him like this, the more unsettled Beryl felt. "I know you have your past, and I won't force you to
tell me anything. When you're ready to share, we can talk about it. I'm just worried that you're feeling
uncomfortable on your own."
Little did she expect that this would be a wound for Marcellus.
"My past and the things that happened in my family are difficult to talk about. It's not that I don't want to tell you,
but I haven't prepared myself mentally."
"All right." Beryl raised her hand and gently patted his back, trying to console him. "Let's not talk about these things
now."
Marcellus's expression turned serious; he seemed lost in his thoughts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeryl sensed that and leaned in to place a comforting kiss on his lips, accompanied by her reassuring words, "Don't
be upset, okay? You have me by your side."
You have me by your side.
Those simple words pulled Marcellus out of his melancholic mood. Many people had said similar things to him, but
only Beryl's words had such an effect on him.
"Baby."
The magnetic voice echoed in her ears, causing Beryl's face to flush. "I-I should go up now."
"Okay." Though reluctant, Marcellus had to let her go. "Let me know when you're done. If you have time tonight, we
can have dinner together. I'll pick you up."
Beryl nodded obediently. "Okay."
As she got out of the car, she stood still for a moment, and Marcellus in the car didn't move either. They exchanged
glances through the tinted windows, prolonging the farewell in their sweet romance.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
"I'll wait for you to go first. Hurry, go to work."
Marcellus raised an eyebrow. "I'll watch you go up first and then leave."
People in love are usually like this. Even a simple farewell can lead to lingering moments of affection and reluctance
to part.
Beryl could only wave her hand helplessly and turned to enter the hospital first. Even with her back turned to him,
she could still feel his intense gaze.
Entering the main entrance of the hospital, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Having been stared at like that, her
back felt stiff.
But just at this moment, a familiar deep voice came from behind, "Beryl? Why did you come?"
Beryl trembled slightly and quickly turned around to see her uncle, Jamal, approaching with a yellow thermos in his
hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer heart skipped a beat, unsure if he had seen her getting off Marcellus's car, feeling extremely uneasy.
"Hi, Uncle Jamal."
Jamal lifted the thermos of soup in his hand. "I came to bring your father some soup. The hospital food is barely
edible, but patients can't be careless. They need to eat something nutritious. I've been stewing this soup for several
hours."
Beryl quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Uncle Jamal."
"Don't mention it. We're all family." Jamal waved his hand modestly, then quickly changed the subject. "Didn't you
take a taxi here? I saw you getting off a black sedan."
Beryl's heart trembled; indeed, he had seen her.
Thinking about the kiss she shared with Marcellus in the car just now, she felt a bit panicky. She quickly averted her
face, afraid of showing any signs of abnormality, and said, "Yes, I went to the school yesterday and came to take
Aunt's shift this morning. I was worried about being late, so I got a ride."
Jamal nodded thoughtfully. "I see."
"Mm-hmm."
Just before the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, the elevator arrived. Beryl hurriedly stepped in as if
escaping from a ferocious beast behind her.
