Chapter 850 An Unexpected Kiss

Soon, the check was finished. Luckily, it appeared that she was only merely wounded on the skin. But because of the impact on her head, the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for a night. And she would be free to leave tomorrow morning if she was fine.

It exactly accorded with what she wanted-with that excuse, she would ask Manuel to stay with her overnight. If anything went wrong with Hannah, Manuel could be able to bail her out. Finally, she made it.

As soon as Susan was taken out of the emergency room, she saw Manuel waiting there as expected. As he was eye-catching, she soon noticed him among the crowd. Manuel hurried over and then the doctor told him about Susan's physical situation.

Susan seemed to notice that Manuel let out a sigh of relief. He was still caring about her, she reckoned. At the thought of that, Susan was touched. Then the medical team took her into a VIP ward while Manuel was following.

After everything had been set, the team walked away. Only Susan and Manuel were left alone inside. While she was having an infusion, Manuel stayed by her side to browse the phone. Susan had no idea what to talk about. The silence of embarrassment lingered in the air. But suddenly, he stood up from the chair.

Susan hurried to grab his arm, "Where are you going?"

She was afraid that he would be leaving after he made sure that she was fine. Before Hannah had successfully carried out her plan, she got to stay alert in case Manuel walked away.

"I gotta pick up a call." Said Manuel.

As his phone was muted, Susan didn't hear any ringtone.

"Will you be back?" asked Susan worriedly.

Manuel nodded to reply. Not until then did she let go of his arm reluctantly. She saw him walking over to the window. Luckily, he didn't walk out of the room. However, she was somehow frustrated as she started wondering who was calling.

Was that a call from Clara?

She must be pissed after being left alone, Susan supposed. Perhaps Manuel would start solacing her softly after being bombarded by questions. At the thought of that, Susan felt like burning in anger. All guys were fickle in a relationship, she supposed. Susan got crosser as she recalled how infatuated he used to be with her.

Of course, Manuel had no idea what was on her mind right now. He was answering a call from Theodore, "I am sorry. I got something urgent to deal with. I am afraid I can't attend the ceremony. I will call Oscar later and pass him my congratulations."

"Congratulate my ass! Can't you tell how awful he feels? I tell you to come just because he asks us for a drink to kill his bad mood." Said Theodore.

Manuel could tell how Oscar felt right now. But he had no idea what to do.

"You can't lie to me. I know you stay there because of Susan, right?" Theodore ascertained that Susan must be the reason.

"Yes."

"You got into her trap! I knew it!" huffed Theodore.

Theodore considered Susan a tough lady worth friending with. However, when it came to what she had done to Manuel, he found it hard to forgive her.

"No, I know what I am doing. I've learned my lesson." Manuel refuted.

"Do you mean now you have restarted a relationship with her but you will try to avoid greater damage to yourself after you've learned your so-called lesson?" Theodore started interpreting what he meant. Manuel responded with silence.

"Shit. You were just making excuses!" Theodore concluded.

From his point of view, falling in love with Susan once again was the dumbest thing.

"Is Oscar there with you?" Manuel changed the subject.

"Yes, you wanna talk to him?" asked Theodore.

"Yeah."

Theodore then passed over the phone.

"Oscar, I am sorry. I can't leave for the Capital tonight. I suppose I can't attend your wedding either. There's something I got deal with."

"It's okay. Take care." Said Oscar.

"Don't overdrink for the sake of health."

"Okay."

"Alright, I gotta go."

"Bye."

Manuel hung up the phone, feeling a bit distraught. Of course, he could tell how much Oscar love Hannah. Oscar was the victim suffering the most from the wedding tomorrow other than Hannah, he supposed. Manuel then returned to the room. As soon as he walked inside, he noticed imploring eyes from Susan. He was somehow a bit confused-since when had she appeared so attached to him? But still, he was moved.

He walked over to sit down beside her, "Don't worry. I won't leave. Just feel free to sleep if you want to."

"I am not sleepy. But I am starving." Said Susan all of a sudden.

Not until then did he realize that neither of them had dined tonight.

"I will order some food to be delivered here."

"Get me some spicy food. I want some Mexican dishes like..."

"No, only a light diet." Manuel interrupted.

Susan fell into silence with puppy eyes.

"You just got injured! You gotta be careful about diet."

But Susan was aware that she was totally fine, though she didn't dare to confess yet. She then remained silent.

Soon, some nutritious food was brought to her front. But it tasted plain. While watching it, she didn't feel like she had much appetite.

"Open your mouth." Manuel was feeding her.

Susan opened her mouth reluctantly to take it in.

"It's hot!" she suddenly cried out.

Manuel was also stunned by her reaction. Just a second ago, he got annoyed when seeing her disfavour against the food. Thus, he forgot to check the temperature of the food. When seeing her crying out, he looked apologetic.

Then he suddenly approached to kiss her.

The air seemed to be frozen.

Susan was rendered startled with her eyes wide open. She watched his face getting so close and their lips attached.

He reached out his tongue, making her blush all over her face.

Manuel didn't let go of her until quite a while later. As soon as his soberness took the upper hand, he seemed to realize what he was doing.

After the unexpected kiss, he fixed his eyes on her, who was also goggling at him.

His face, and his ears, were painted blushed as well.

"Still hot?" asked Manuel.

She wanted to say yes because she wanted more kisses to bring down her burning desire.
