###Chapter 442 Because I Loved You

I pursed my lips, smiled, looked at her, and then said, "The porridge that you've made smells good. Thank you!".

She was slightly surprised, and tears fell even more down her face, but this time she smiled. I was relieved. I don't want to become the same person as Brad Silverman.

I went to see Erin off, but it was already early in the morning and I'm not even sleepy. I considered the time needed to get up in the middle of the night and moved to Jordan Astley's place. And I need stay there.

I fell asleep, but in the middle of the night vaguely sensed something. I tried to open my eyes and saw Jordan Astley; he was trying to get up. Even though I was still very sleepy, I suddenly sat up straight from the bed and got out of bed to help him.

When he saw that I woke up, he sweated slightly on his forehead and agonized because of a torn wound. He looked at me apologetically and said, "Did I wake you?".

I shook my head, he was a little distressed, so I held him and said, "What's the matter with you?". The doctor said that you can't get out of bed yet. "

He pursed his lips, put his arm on the edge of the bed, and said, "I need to go to the bathroom."

For a moment, my mind went blank and then remembered the bedpan and told him, "There's a bedpan underneath the bed."

"Help me!", he said, his voice deep and powerful, but with coldness. Though how proud I was, I still couldn't beat him, so I helped him out of bed. He was 1.8 meters tall and he held on to me. I don't know if it was just my delusion. But he didn't seem to put any weight on me.

When we went to the bathroom, he still had an infusion on his arm and I hardly thought about it. I bowed my head to help him took off his belt. I pressed my hands to him to quickly and be done with it, I felt a throb in my heart because he looked so helpless. He then said, "All right, I can do it myself. You can wait for me outside."

I got worried and told him, "It's not convenient for you to sit down!".

It was his back that hurts a lot. It was okay to walk but if he sat down it will pull the wound open.

He smiled, shook his head, and said, "No really, it's all right I can manage. So, wait for me outside and be good."

I looked at him and was worried. So, I hung his infusion bottle aside and said, "I'll just untie you, I'll promise that I won't peek, I'll just help you sit down."

He smiled, half coaxed me, and pushed me out, "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I'm sure that I'll call you if there's anything that I need help with."

He was very determined to let me believe him and I wonder how there can be such a stubborn person! With a slight sigh, I went out of the bathroom and closed it. I can't believe that he was so stubborn.

Because I was worried, I sat outside and waited for a while. I couldn't help to check on him and shout outside the bathroom, "Jordan Astley, are you, all right?".

"Yes, I'm all right!", he answered in a cold and capable voice.

About ten minutes later, I heard the running water and I got up quickly ready to go in. I didn't want him standing at the door as soon as he opened it.

Seeing that he was in no big deal, I breathed in a sigh of relief and reached out to help him go back to the hospital bed.

The nurse came in every three hours to change his dressing but this time it would be without too much cover and directly exposing the wound to the air. When I looked at the extensive burns on his back, my heart tightened for a moment and broke out in a cold sweat.

The nurse said, "The rotten skin is gone and there is a new skin growth, but you still need to be hospitalized for a while. Just try not to do large movements as much as possible, it will tear the new skin growth and affect the speed of healing in your wounds." After the explanation, the doctor came in and helped clear the rotten skin on Jordan Astley's back, then put away the scalpel and instructed the nurse to finished dressing the wound. I looked at the wound behind him, it was so bloody that I could not help but tremble with fear.

After the nurse bandaged his wound, the nurse also changed his infusion. And because of the medicine, Jordan Astley fell deeply asleep. I sat by the side of his bed, but I couldn't fall asleep. I pondered while looking at his scar earlier, it seemed to last forever.

I remembered that I originally planned to take Jordan Astley back to the hospital in the capital. But because of the twists and turns on the road, he tore the wound back. And now we stayed, simply to wait for the wound to heal before going back.

Andrew Biden and Erin came to see us every day. Always brought me a clean pair of changed clothes.

One day, when Erin was setting up the porridge, she said that I don't look well. Jordan Astley then said slightly, "Why don't you go to the hotel and have a good sleep. Refresh yourself and come back tonight." She said this a little bit carefully.

I shook my head and said, "It's all right, I can sleep here at night. It doesn't matter since you have a lot of things in the capital, so you'd better go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

Erin shook her head and hurriedly said, "It's nothing. I am old. I'm not in a hurry to take care of the company's affairs to Parker Wesley." I didn't reply to Erin after that since I didn't sleep well last night.

After eating, Jordan Astley fell into a deep sleep while Erin and Andrew Biden sat quietly by the bedside. Maybe it was too quiet and somehow, I fell asleep. I only opened my eyes slightly when the nurse came in to change Jordan Astley's dressing. I was so sleepy that I fell into a deep sleep and I slept soundly this time around.

When I woke up in the afternoon, Jordan Astley was reading. Andrew Biden was not there, and Erin lay on one side a little sleepy.

Jordan Astley put down the book that was in his hand after he saw me awake and handed the tissue box to me.

I was a little stunned and didn't understand what he meant. He smiled and said, "Wipe your saliva!", his voice was warm and moist.

Embarrassed, I quickly pulled out a tissue from the box and wipe it off. I pursed my lips, sat up straight, and said, "Is it afternoon already?".

He nodded and said, "Are you hungry?". Why do I feel like I'm the one being taken cared of now?

He couldn't help saying it again, "Are you hungry?".

When Erin heard the commotion, she woke up then looked at Jordan Astley and me, took out her cell phone at the same time.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, she got up and poured me a glass of water and handed it to me. "Have a drink of water," she said. "Your father has gone back to cook. He will come back later.", she continued.

I took the water, looked at Jordan Astley, and said, "How are you? are you feeling better?".

He nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt that much now!".

Erin got up and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she pulled some paper towels and wiped her hands. She looked at us and said, "What do you want to eat?".

Jordan Astley shook his head and looked at me then said, "What would you like to eat?".

I thought about it and said, "Anything is fine with me." It's really hard to figure out what to eat for a while.

Then Erin went out clutching her bag but forgot her cellphone on the bedside table. The cell phone rang. It was Frida Biden.

I answered the call, and I heard a high-pitched voice on the other line saying, "How are you? Are you all right? Which hospital are you in?".

I was bombarded with a lot of questions, I responded, "I'm all right. I'm still in Medford. I may not be able to go to the capital for a few days."

She sighed and said, "I know you're in Medford. What I'm asking is which hospital in Medford are in?".

"Were in Madison Hospital. What's the matter?", I replied.

"I'll see you later then. Have you eaten yet?", she responded.

I looked out of the window and couldn't help saying, "When did you come to Medford?".

"I just got off the plane, forget it. Send me the address and I'll talk to you later." With that, she hung up the phone.

Jordan Astley looked at me and smiled, "Muffin?".
