A Crazy One-night Stand

Faced with Michael's confession, Alina felt as if her head was going to burst. She did not know how to reply.

Michael was just out of danger. His body was very weak and his broken bones were still wrapped in plaster casts. The doctors from the specialist team had specifically told them that his immunity was much weaker than other patients due to his severe injuries. To recover quickly, he should maintain a positive outlook, and avoid any triggers that might cause him to be agitated. 

Alina was worried that if she refused him outright, could Michael endure it? 

Seeing as Alina didn't respond, Michael's eyes were hopeful as he fixed his eyes on her. 

Alina felt a heavy burden weighing on her shoulders. Her lips twitched, but she couldn't say anything.

Michael waited for a moment, but Alina was still silent. He smiled and said, "Alina, don't feel pressured. I hope that you would agree to be my girlfriend, if and only if I am fully recovered." 

"No, Mike, I mean..." Alina stuttered and stammered. Finally, she gritted her teeth and replied, "To be honest, I am already married to someone else. Although we haven't held a wedding ceremony yet, we have registered for marriage."

Alina was fearful that if she lied and gave Michael hope now, he would be even more disappointed later.
