Chapter 45 The Proposal

Hal was so anxious that he started to sweat. He couldn't cover himself with the quilt, so he opened it.
The rest of the quilt was half covered by her.

"Do you really agree, Polly?"

"I didn't say anything!"

"Dear Polly, I know you! If you don't agree, you will immediately state your position. Only when you
have another idea in your mind will you refuse to answer! " Holding her by the arm, Hal asked, "do you
really want? Are you really going to gamble on your own happiness for the rest of your life? "

Polly shook his head. What she meant was that she would never have a happy marriage in her life. But
seeing Polly's reaction, Hal got relieved.

"Dear Polly, I know your parents are in bad condition. If you trust me, I will help you deal with those
things. I'll pay their debt as soon as possible. And I will help you to find them back. "

A moment of amazement flashed through Polly's eyes, but soon she calmed down. She thought he
was just comforting her by saying so.

"No, thanks. You'd better have a good rest. I'll take care of my parents myself! "

"What are you going to do with her? Just like Avril, have to work part-time? Even so, how long will it
take to pay that much money back? Five years, ten years or twenty? Dear Polly, don't be so naive! "

"But, what can you do to help me, Hal? How are you going to help me? Working for me? Or borrow
money from your parents? You know, I can't accept your help! "

Hal stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips. With a more tired look on his face, he said, "Dear
Polly, trust me, I absolutely have a way to help you! I'm not bragging! "



"You are not lying. You are just comforting me. Hal, I know what you mean. I really appreciate it. " Polly
choked with sobs and could say nothing.

"I'm not comforting you! I'm serious! I have the strength to do that! I... "

Hal wanted to say what he was thinking, but at this moment, the door of the ward opened. As they
talked, they walked inside.

However, when they saw what was going on in the ward, both of them stopped. In fact, the problem
was that only Bruce stopped his steps. Avril wanted to go inside, but she was stopped by the man in
front of her.

She stretched her head and took a look inside. Her face changed instantly.

The sheets covering Hal were casually put down on Polly's bed. From the way they stood at the door,
they seemed to have just come out of the same bed.

Seeing what was happening in front of him, Bruce squinted his eyes and tightened his lips. She cleared
her throat and tried to break the ice, "Hey, I'm telling you to wrap yourself in the quilt. Don't catch a
cold. Why don't you listen to me? You are so young but you still wear very few clothes and go out for a
walk. Don't you think that you haven't stayed in hospital for a long time? "

She smiled and said to Bruce, "Mr. He, please come in. I didn't expect that you would come so soon. "
As she spoke, she winked at Hal.

As if he didn't see it, instead of taking off the quilt, Hal took it off and covered her with the quilt.

"She just caught a cold last night. Now, you should pay attention to keep yourself warm. As a man, I
don't care if I wear little clothes or not! It's just a bed. I don't care how much I need. "

Hearing this, the light in Bruce' s eyes dimmed.



Seeing this, even Avril's face turned pale. But she couldn't lose her temper in front of Bruce, so she had
to glare at Hal.

What was wrong with this guy at this time!

After tucking her in, Hal tested her forehead with his hand and said with concern, "Dear Polly, take care
of yourself. It's such a coincidence that my ward is next to yours. Call me if you need anything! "

Avril was furious!

'he must have done it on purpose!'! Although they were in the same hospital, his ward was upstairs.
When did he move to the next ward?

She admitted that Hal had a good relationship with Dear Polly, but at present, they really couldn't be
together. She couldn't even take care of her own family, let alone take care of him, who was weak and
sick.

The most important thing is that Dear Polly doesn't have feelings for him.

Now she had just walked out of the pain brought by that bad man, Kevin. How could he be so selfish!
He was not such a person!

As far as she knew, Polly and Hal were used to getting along with each other, and he was always as
weak as this woman, who never treated him as an opposite person. She didn't feel anything about his
concern at the beginning, but later she felt something wrong.

And the way Bruce looked at her made her feel uncomfortable.

She subconsciously shrank her legs and said to Hal, "thank you, Hal. You're not in good health too. You
can go back to have a rest first."



Hal's eyes become some hot, soft tone of the like to put on the dawn of the warm wind," Dear Polly,
you now so, I don't trust you, let me sit for a while."

Feeling more awkward, she looked up at Bruce awkwardly.

Avril was so angry that she forgot Bruce's presence. She pushed the door open, walked in, put the
kettle on the ground, and pulled Hal over. Hal that thin body, he pulled a stagger

Seeing him so weak, Avril felt pity for him, but she had no choice. She tried her best to endure the pain.
She bit her lips and said to Hal, "now I'm here, and Mr. He is also here. You don't have to worry about
him. You can go back first. And I heard your mother was calling you! You'd better go there quickly to
have a look. Don't make the old people worry about you! You've already worried enough! "

There was a heavy accent on the words' worried 'on Avril. He must be able to understand her
implication. At this moment, the helplessness and pain in his eyes made her unbearable to look directly
at him. She quickly turned her head.

"All right, all right! Let's go! " Avril pushed him away.

"What the hell do you want, Hal?" After closing the door of the ward, Avril finally couldn't stand it
anymore. She tried her best to cut down the voice. "Why are you getting involved in the relationship
between Dear Polly and Bruce!"

"How dare you!" His face was as pale as a piece of paper. The blood capillaries under his skin could be
clearly seen. He said, "Avril, just do whatever you want to normally! Now you are trying your best to
push Polly to Bruce. How much do you know about him! Dear Polly didn't even know who he was! You
are hurting her! You will regret it one day! "

"It sounds like you know Bruce very well! I advise you not to follow the news on the Internet like a
gossip! I've seen clearly Bruce's attitude towards Dear Polly! "



"You! You! You are so unreasonable! " Then he turned around and left.

A talkative man like him suddenly became so silent, which made her uneasy.

He hadn't said a word since he entered the room. His eyes glanced over the quilt on her body, the
pillow she leaned on, and then turned to the bowl of porridge on the table.

She didn't know what he was looking at as he couldn't possibly focus on the porridge.

She hesitated for a long while and opened her mouth, "Bruce, I'm with Hal, and Avril. We're good
friends. We're having a great time..."

"So, you wanted him to cover you with the quilt, to let him feel the temperature of your forehead, and to
let him treat you so gently, right?"

"Bruce, I..."

"Dear Polly. I really want to tell you that I don't care, but unfortunately, I can't do it." Bruce sat in front of
her, holding her cold little hand in his warm palm. "At this time, I don't want to increase your
psychological burden, but I still have to tell you, I am jealous!"

The feeling of complete trust and intimacy between him and another man upset him greatly. Because
she had been on him guard ever since the first day they met.

When could she get a complete trust and she was willing to open her heart to him when facing him?

"The weather is so hot that I can't cover two quilts." She struggled to get rid of his grip and tried to pull
the quilt off her body.

That person brought her a very uncomfortable feeling today, now Bruce sitting in front of her, with such
a sad and deeply attached eyes staring at her, feel more uncomfortable



"No need!" Before she could say anything more, he grabbed her hand tightly and said, " so cold. It's not
a big deal." Then he pressed back the quilt.

"Thank you." She expressed her sincere gratitude to him.

He sighed, and his eyes were filled with loneliness. "Why should I thank you? Dear Polly, I think you
don't have to be so reserved when we are alone. You are going to be my wife. If you feel
uncomfortable, then I will also feel uncomfortable. "

Even though Polly had prepared herself for this, her heart still beat fast when she heard the word
"wife".

"Why do you look at me like that?" Bruce smiled and reached out his hand to caress her face. "You
promised me last night."

She couldn't help but step back. But Bruce didn't let her. He followed her closely.

Her cold and smooth skin turned red and hot when being rubbed with the callus in his palm. She
mumbled in a low voice, "last night, I didn't..." Promise me to be your wife.

However, when she remembered that scene, she almost said yes.

Bruce grinned, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His voice was still gentle, "then, Dear Polly, are you
going to regret?"

Clenching her fists, she replied decisively, "no! I just thought it was a bit abrupt. "

Bruce said slowly, "but it's too long for me."

He was different from ordinary people like her. His time, every minute and every second were precious.
He could make a person like her unimaginable value all her life.



However, due to his mother's coercion to marry, he could not put all his attention on work.

"Can we not get married, Bruce? To convince your mother, I think we can live together for the time
being. " Her voice trailed off.

The expression on his face gradually became cold, as if the coldness of the earth had frozen. He
asked, "then do you want to live with a man before marriage?"
