Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1068 Let Me Take Care Of You

Sally walked in with a bowl in her hands. When she saw Dr. Cheng in the room, she hurried to ask, “Dr. Cheng, how is he doing?”

After properly bandaging Sean’s wound, Dr. Cheng looked up and smiled. “Not bad. However, the first week is still critical and requires a lot of attention. You must take good care of him. If he rests well during this time, he will be fine.”

“Got it! Dr. Cheng, thank you so much! Please, take some of these snacks with you. They’re delicious.”

Sally had a broad smile on her lips as she handed Dr. Cheng one of the boxes she had brought with her.

Nodding, he accepted it. “Well, thank you. But don’t let him eat those. He can only have porridge.”

Dr. Cheng laughed, but Sally knew he was serious.

Carl glanced at Sean lying on the bed and, with a sigh, he bowed respectfully before following Dr. Cheng out.

“Uncle Sean, you must be hungry. It’s been a while since you last ate. Come on, have some porridge.”

Only the two of them had remained in the room when Sally took a seat by his side and stirred the bowl. She blew on the spoon and started to bring it to his mouth, but, struggling, he raised his hand to stop her.

“Sally, go away. Don’t you have school or something today?”

Sean asked in a husky voice. He wasn’t used to being pampered.

“Don’t worry. I don’t have any classes in the next two days. Now, open your mouth,” Sally said, bringing the spoon to his lips again.

“Give it to me. I’ll eat it on my own,”

Sean demanded as he tried to sit up.

“Don’t move. Your chest has been injured. If you keep lifting your arm, the wound won’t heal. Just let me help you!”

Sally pleaded, reaching out to his arm and pushing it back to the bed.

Sean frowned but bitterly allowed her to drive the spoon into his mouth. “You don’t have to take care of me. Carl is just outside. He’ll do it, and you can leave.”

“No way!”

Sally refused to go. Instead, she took another spoonful of porridge and blew on it, bringing it to his lips one more time.

He was too weak to intimidate her, so she stamped her foot and challenged him. For once, there would be nothing he could d

forehead pressed against the back of his hand and felt her warm tears on his skin.

“Why are you crying?” he asked. The last thing he wanted was to see her in pain.

Sally sniffled, asking, “How much pain have you endured? My heart aches when I see these wounds.”

Drawing back his hand, Sean wiped the tears off her face. “I’m a soldier. I’ll do whatever it takes to complete a mission, even if it costs me my own life. None of these injuries matter.”

Sally held his hand and shook her head.

More tears streamed down her pretty face. She found it hard to accept his explanation.

“But they matter to me! I don’t want you hurt, let alone dead! I want you safe and sound by my side. Even if all I can do for the rest of my life is just look at you,”

She blurted out, resting her head on his good shoulder.

Sally was willing to sacrifice anything so he could live a safe and happy life.

But now that he was badly hurt, she couldn’t bear to leave him alone.

Sean caressed her hair and whispered softly, “Don’t cry. It was just an accident. It won’t happen again.”

In his last mission, Sean was faced with a critical situation. The drug dealers were well-equipped with their finest weapons, and they also had their own private army across the border. In order to stop them from escaping, Sean had to take the risk and come face to face with the two gang leaders to kill them.

For a soldier, completing a task would always come before his own life.
