Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 116

Osmond looked down at his plate as if admiring the color and design of the plate. His expressions were faint, and he didn’t care about what Kenneth said. Only after Kenneth had finished speaking, he lifted his gaze and smiled at him indifferently and calmly, “Mr. Shawn, you really understand her well, and I don’t really want to care that much. All I want to know is what is in her heart.”

He didn’t want to force her or embarrass her. He just wanted to show up when she needed him, to let her know that he was always there and he believed that she would not ignore his appearance too.

Kenneth glanced at him and frowned slightly.

Undoubtedly, his simple sentence would be agreed by most of the men. In an instant, Kenneth was reminded of Lillian’s words that day.

‘Her heart… What is in her heart?’

What did she want that he couldn’t give?

He kept this question to himself, thinking about bringing it up when he saw Rachel. He wanted to ask, but he hadn’t found the right opportunity.

…

In the hospital, Rachel woke up by herself not long after falling asleep. She had been like this for some days because she was worried about her father, and would wake up suddenly a little while after falling asleep.

The light in front of her was dazzling and she looked around in a daze. She rubbed her aching head, lifted the blanket off herself, and got out of bed.

It was extremely quiet and she didn’t know what time it was.

She fumbled around and found the bathroom. After washing her face, she felt a bit more awake. She checked the time and saw that it was already one o’clock at night.

No wonder there weren’t any people in the Inpatient Department.

She fixed her clothes and walked back. First, she went to Chapman’s ward. Theresa had fallen asleep on the empty bed next to him. She walked over and covered them both properly with quilts. As she quietly walked out of the room, she accidentally bumped into someone behind her. She hurriedly apologized in a low voice.

“I am sorry…”

“Why are you awake?”

The man’s abrupt voice startled her for a moment before she was able to recognize it as Kenneth’s voice. Her expressions changed as she said in a low voice, “Why are you still here?”

It was the middle of the night! Didn’t he sleep? He was walking around the hospital like a ghost, not even caring about scaring people!

He just smiled faintly and said, “Just finished doing some work. Come up and see if you can sleep well.”

Rachel’s ears became red. She bowed her head, closed the door behind her, and asked, “You were here all this time?”

“I went out in the middle for a bit.”

Stopping in her tracks, Rachel looked carefully at him and asked, “I mean when my father was undergoing surgery, were you here?”

She wondered if he was in the hospital all day but didn’t show up because he didn’t want to affect her mood.

This idea was denied by her as soon as it formed. She was not such a narcissist.

Kenneth stared at her indifferently without trying to lie to her, “I was here most of the time. I came when Osmond left.”

Rachel stared at him for a while, “Oh!”

Not knowing if it was her delusion, but when he mentioned Osmond, his eyes did not look friendly.

Not daring to speculate too much, she looked away, waved her hand, and said hurriedly, “Okay, it’s too late now. you should go back.”

He had been in City N for way too long, the company must have been suffering. He told her that he did his work, and she had not doubted him until now as if to avoid increasing her own guilt. But it was probably better to not see him again.

Kenneth’s deep eyes were quiet. He looked at her and said, “You just woke up and probably won’t want to sleep for the time being. Come on, have dinner with me.”

Rachel didn’t know what to say.

Staring at him for a few moments, she opened her mouth and said, “Am I your mother who would accompany you for dinner? I am not going!”

Even though after washing her face with cold water, she felt a lot more awake and sensible but she still considered the idea of accompanying him in the middle of the night for dinner was crazy.
