Xante raised her eyebrow at Sunny and smirked. “Oh yes, I remember now. You’ve got quite a hard skull, Mister
Sunny. After all, you broke the hospital’s glass door into smithereens with your head.”
Sunny’s face immediately darkened. “Don’t change the subject!” he shouted, unable to control his voice.
Xante quickly made a shushing motion by putting her finger to her lips before gesturing with her eyes at the fast-
asleep Corinne.
Only then did Sunny realize he was being too loud. He pursed his lips and shut up.
Seeing Corinne fast asleep, Xante stood up and pulled the blanket around her before walking over to the sofa and
sitting to play on her phone to kill time. She knew Sunny would persist in asking questions if she stayed sitting
beside Corinne, and she did not want to risk another outburst from him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSunny scooted closer to her when he saw she was playing a game. ‘Wow, her level is quite high. And her username
is Little Rain Drop…? Why does that sound so familiar?’
“So you play this game, too? Let’s play together. You can join my team.”
Xante did not even look up from her phone when she said boredly, “No, thanks. I’m not interested in teaming up
with a kid.”
Sunny frowned. “What the heck is wrong with you? I’ve told you I’m not a kid. I’m a fully grown adult! Are you going
senile or what?”
Xante simply ignored him.
Sunny grew irritated at not getting any response, but he reminded himself to stay cool as he was in the hospital.
Thus, he crossed his arm and glared at Xante from where he was sitting.
After a few rounds of the game, Xante was starting to get tired. She looked toward the bed and saw Corinne was
still sleeping, so she gestured to Sunny with her chin, saying, “Mister Sunny, can you please sit somewhere else? I
want to sleep here for a while.”
Sunny scoffed and stood up with a frown.
“Thanks!” Xante immediately spread herself out on the sofa as soon as Sunny got up. “Mister Sunny, if you’re going
to stay, can you watch over Corinne for a bit? Wake me up when she wakes up.”
“Fine,” said Sunny angrily. ‘I hate it when people order me around like a kid. Why do I always get treated like a kid
whenever I go?’
Not having any interest in watching Xante sleep, Sunny glanced at Corinne to make sure she was still asleep before
walking over to the window to look out at the view, thinking about what he should do about his mother and sister in
the future.
After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of metal hitting the floor. He immediately turned around and saw
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXante’s glasses had slipped and fallen to the floor when she turned to her side.
‘And she calls herself an adult. Sheesh! She should’ve taken off her glasses before sleeping.’
Sunny walked over in annoyance, but his irritation turned to awe when he got a look at Xante’s face while bending
down to pick up her glasses.
‘Oh… Oh my god. She’s beautiful!’ Sunny stopped breathing for a second as his heart thumped loudly in his chest.
‘Why… Why is my heart beating so loudly? There’s no way I’ll be interested in this old sod.’
Xante must have felt his presence near her because she suddenly opened her eyes. “What are you doing?” she
asked. They were almost nose-to-nose at that point.
For some reason, Sunny could not help but feel guilty when he met her eyes, even though he did not do anything
wrong. “Umm… You dropped your glasses, so…I thought I’d help you pick it up.”
