Chapter 1145: Why Can’t I (4)

“Good girl,” he said.

Annie looked upstairs, her eyes obviously filled with worry as she asked, “Can I go up now?”

“No.” Chris sat in a dignified manner, picked up the bowl, and gracefully drank the soup.

“Why?” Annie frowned.

Chris looked at her and said, “You have to go back to the room and rest. I’ll get people to take good care of him. After all, he is your friend and a guest. I can’t let anything happen to him.”

Annie still felt very worried. She wanted to take care of Ye Sijue personally.

If she couldn’t see him, she would feel anxious.

“But I…”

She was about to say something when Chris interrupted her, “No ‘buts,’ Annie. Be good and listen to me.”

But Annie shook her head and said stubbornly, “No, I want to go up and see him.”

With that said, she pushed the chair out and went upstairs.

But when she reached the door to the room and tried to open the door, the door was locked.

“Open the door!” She hit the door anxiously.

But no one replied to her as if no one were inside.

“Open the door! Open the door!” Annie was getting even more anxious, hitting the door forecfully. Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Annie!” came Chris’s voice from downstairs.

Chris grabbed her hand. He frowned and looked at her reproachfully. “Why are you hitting the door so hard? Look at your hands, they’re red! No more hitting the door. Come back to the room with me. You need to rest.”

“I don’t need to rest.” Annie wanted to withdraw her hand from him but he was grasping it tightly.

Chris softened his voice as he said, “I don’t want you to be sick, do you understand?”

“I won’t be sick. I told you, I’m fine,” Annie explained. Though she had fallen into the water, she had always been very healthy. She was completely fine. Why was he so sure that she would get sick?

“I didn’t say that you will get sick. I’m just worried that you might get sick. You’ve been afraid of being sick your whole life.” Chris tried appealing to her emotions.

She always wondered if she was going to be sick after a single sneeze.

Annie took his hand, acting like a child as she persuaded him, “Chris, believe me, okay? I really won’t get sick. Let me in to see him, alright? I’m really worried about him.”

Ye Sijue must really need her by his side.

So she didn’t want to leave him.

“It’s only a fever. It’s not a serious illness. And with so many helpers here, he will be well taken care of. What’s there to be worried about? You should go and rest first. I’ll let you see him when his fever subsides.” This time, Chris looked like he wouldn’t accept a “no” for an answer.

“I don’t want to.” Annie puffed up her cheeks and glared at him. “Why won’t you let me in to see him? You purposely sent me away earlier, right? How can you do this!”

“Why can’t I?” Chris asked, looking straight into her eyes.

Annie was startled, not expecting him to respond that way. “You… Of course you can’t!”

Chris grabbed her wrist, and stared deep into her eyes.

“Annie, I’m your fiancé. Tell me, why can’t I stop you from taking care of another man?”
