CEO Of My Heart

Henry didn"t react at all to this .  He looked merely irritated as he tried to make an innocent expression .  Henry shook his head to deny Michael"s suspicious as he moved so Ellie was more visible .  "Ellie is not in any danger . To be honest, I don"t think Ellie is ready for much of anything with as much pain that she is still in .  It"s out of the question that I would treat my wife with anything less than the utmost respect . She was groggy from the symptoms and I a.s.sume was trying to find someone to help her, but the replacement staff were not trained properly so she ended up in the wrong place .  When I found her around here, since it would have been quite a distance for me to carry, I decided it was the more straightforward thing to bring her here instead of interrupting staff I"m not very close to . If the staff have returned, have some of them come here to help Ellie get back to her bed so she can get some more rest?"

Advertis.e.m.e.ntMichael looked at his watch with a concerned expression as he nodded before bowing as he left the room .  He seemed still curious to know more, but with the practice of a good servant had restrained himself . His lips bore the ghost of a smile as he nodded .

Ellie knew she had overstayed her welcome as Henry"s reaction was not as polished as she would have liked .  She sat up and tried to get up out of the bed as Henry looked at her with an expression of amus.e.m.e.nt . She leaned against the wall as she had the night before . "I"m sure that I don"t need other people to carry me back to my room . "

Henry caught her as her body swayed .  His mouth was near her ear as he whispered, generating gooseb.u.mps as he spoke .  "I think you should wait for Michael and the others, Miss Chen . I know you"re eager to get better, but we must take one step at a time instead of racing to the finish line .  Health takes time, if you rush it the sickness comes back . "

"I hate it when you make it sound like I"m still a race car driver . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

He put on a bathrobe and tied the strings .  The way he did it was like he was tying up the present so it could be given to someone else .  In truth, the bathrobe emphasized his shoulders and made him look more in control, which Ellie guessed he didn"t like his grasp on in the current predicament .  "I think it"s more fitting to think of your job rather than your relation to me, now that you are going to be alive . If I"m going to let you go, it"s easier to think of you as Miss Chen, the race car driver or Nolan"s sister who is well . "

Ellie turned to face him with concern as she spoke quickly .  "I"m not trying to force you into doing anything, Henry . I just want things to work out so both of us are happy .  I"m not here for you know the things--"

Henry cut her off .  "The money? Or the view? Or the designer clothes? Or the name Wong that both in America and China means something .  I know you don"t want it . It"s not in either of your natures to crave such things . That"s why I said yes when Deul asked me to help you . " Henry crossed his arms as he thought of that fateful day . "However, you did highlight an excellent point which is that this is a less than ideal situation to stay married . "
