"Do you like it?" He leaned down to kiss her.
After an extremely lingering kiss.
Victoria, with her lips slightly parted, responded to him in a dreamy way, "Mmm... I like it very much..."
Hank Clegg was satisfied with her response.
Her expression made him feel that being together with her like this was the right choice.
His previous many concerns seemed to disappear with the rise and fall beneath him.
The dark night stretched out…
Then a rustling noise sounded nearby.
This sound, filled with caution, prudence, and fear, triggered a sudden alert in Hank Clegg's heart.
There were other people in the ward.
He suddenly propped up his body and yelled loudly, "Who's there?"
Someone was immediately startled, knocking over a small table on wheels, and all the water glasses and medicine bottles on it fell to the ground with loud clattering noises.
"Who is it?" This time, he sat upright and opened his eyes.
