Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 380

Chapter 380 But We Can Try

Having gone through two marriages, Yuliana had become more conscious that romantic relationships between men and women were not indispensable in life, let alone marriage.

“Wesley, I find it quite comfortable to be around you, but I know in my heart that my feelings for you are different from what I felt for someone else before,” Yuliana said while lightly biting her lip. “If it were someone else, maybe I would be willing to try, just as a way to spice up my life. But you’re different, and I don’t want changes in our relationship to affect us.”

She cherished Wesley as a friend.

It would be fortunate to have a good outcome once It began when it came to affairs between men and women. But more often than not, resentments would arise, particularly when worn down by the trivialities of life.

People were capable of change.

She would change, and so would Wesley.

Certainly, this was her earlier belief, but as Wesley said, they were not naive teenagers who had never experienced life. Perhaps they could handle their relationship more pragmatically.

“But we can try.”

Yuliana looked at Wesley and spoke.

Wesley was startled and looked at her in disbelief at first, but then his stiff expression softened, and his voice became slightly strained as he asked, “Really?”

Yuliana nodded with a smile. “But you need to give me a few more days. There are still some things I need to

sort out.”

In any case, Caleb and she were technically still in a relationship as a potential engagement.

Caleb’s true thoughts were a mystery to her.

with Caleb.

Wesley spent the entire afternoon accompanying Yuliana at the hospital.

Hailey brought dinner at the hospital in the evening as usual.

Rowan came along and was pleased to see Wesley at the hospital.

Wesley took out his phone and taught Rowan how to play some games, and the whole ward was filled with the little guy’s laughter.

Yuliana felt a slight sense of comfort watching from the side.

Rowan was very fond of Wesley, and Wesley was extremely kind to Rowan.

Being with Wesley would not have a significant impact on Rowan.

This seemed to be the best choice.

Hailey’s sensitivity and delicacy allowed her to perceive subtle changes between Yuliana and Wesley. She was happy for Yuliana, but at the same time, she felt a certain unexplainable sense of unease.

“Let’s eat first before it gets cold later.”

Hailey set the food tray with utensils and dishes, including a plate of mashed potato, a bowl of salad, a shrimp stew, and very tender cooked pasta.

All of these were prepared for Yuliana. They were light in flavor and easy to digest.

“Did you eat with Rowan?” Yuliana put down her phone and took the fork from Hailey.

“We already ate before coming here.” Hailey smiled, glanced at Wesley, and continued, “Mr. Duncan, come and have a bite too.”

Wesley was initially planning to decline the offer because he thought that Hailey was not aware that he was in the hospital too and might not have prepared enough portions. However, when he met Yuliana’s eyes, he paused for a while and eventually agreed, “Sure.”

But in fact, Hailey had prepared portions for two people, and the other one was for Christopher.

Wesley handed his phone to Rowan and asked, “Is it okay if you play it on your own?”

Rowan nodded. “Okay.”

Wesley held Rowan and placed him on the foldable chair before taking a seat on the bed.

Hailey served him a plate filled with pasta.

Wesley didn’t hold back. He picked up his fork and plate and began eating.

Unlike Christopher, who had a polite and refined manner, Wesley ate quickly and with rough gestures. However, it didn’t cause any discomfort for the people who saw it.

“What are you looking at me for?” Wesley raised his eyes and looked at Yuliana with a faint smile.

Yuliana lifted an eyebrow and said nothing. She picked up the shrimp stew and took a sip.

The shrimp stew that Hailey made was exquisite. Not only was there no fishy odor, but it also had a fresh, sweet, and lingering taste. The broth was exceptionally rich in flavor.

Hailey’s shrimp stew was Yuliana’s favorite

As Yuliana took a mouthful, some soup got smeared on her lips. She was about to grab a tissue to wipe it off when Wesley’s hand reached out.

Yuliana held her body still and gazed up at him.

Wesley, on the other hand, was staring at the corner of her mouth and gently wiped off the smudged soup little by little.

“Done.” He pulled back his hand.

Yuliana’s ears were slightly flushed. She thanked him with a slight smile, then lowered her head and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, a young girl who appeared to be in her early twenties was admitted to the bed next to Yuliana, with a male companion of a similar age.

The girl looked very ill, with a pale complexion and an abnormal redness, constantly coughing while holding

her chest.

The guy kept going in and out, circling the girl.

Obviously, they were a couple.

Later on, a doctor came over to the girl’s bed. Learning from their conversation, the girl had also caught pneumonia, but her condition was more serious than that of Yuliana. A significant amount of fluid had already accumulated in her lungs that required drainage and medication.

The thought of Rowan being exposed to the two pneumonia patients made Yuliana worried. She didn’t want him to stay inside the ward for long, so she immediately urged Hailey to take Rowan back. Yuliana told Hailey not to bring him to the hospital tomorrow. As for meals, she would just order takeout, so Hailey didn’t need to send meals to them anymore.

Hailey knew very well that she couldn’t afford to be careless. It had taken years of medical care for Rowan to finally recover slightly from pneumonia he caught in the past.

Wesley, however, remained in the ward with Yuliana and didn’t intend to leave.

Yuliana felt a bit uneasy. “I can handle myself in the hospital. Go and take care of your things. There’s no need to stay here with me all the time.”

Wesley was watching a film with an earbud attached to one side of his ear. Hearing what Yuliana said, Wesley paused the film and spoke while looking at the water in the cup. “I’m taking a break these two days.”

The water in the cup had bottomed out, so he got up and poured some warm water in.

Yuliana was holding a book and reading it. She had asked Hailey to bring it from home. Yuliana was not interested in playing games on her phone. The week she had spent in the hospital had been boring for her.

Yuliana hadn’t been this idle in a while, and she felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

“Stop reading. Take a break.” Wesley took away the book from her hand and asked, “You’ve been reading for so long. Aren’t your eyes tired?”

Yuliana chuckled “How about you? Don’t your eyes hurt too from looking at your phone?”

Wesley sat back in his chair. “I’m not doing this because I want to.”

Yuliana instantly realized what Wesley meant. He was looking at his phone because she was reading.

“I’m sorry.” Yuliana said.

Wesley smiled. “I don’t blame you. Why are you apologizing?”

Yuliana was still struggling to come to terms with the shift in their relationship. Although their relationship had not been established yet, her mindset had undergone a significant change.

The young couple next to them was sitting close together in the cramped ward.

The girl, who was leaning on the guy, had almost put her whole weight on him. She looked lethargic, and her arm was put on a drip.

The guy had one hand around the girl’s head, while the other hand held his phone, with dramas playing on it. The girl suddenly frowned and coughed a few times, making the guy extremely anxious. “What’s wrong, honey? Should I call the doctor for you?”

The girl was displeased. “What’s the point of calling a doctor? Didn’t you hear what the doctor said just now? I have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month, and I don’t even know whether I can be discharged after staying for that long! I’m sick of it!”

The guy showed no impatience and gently coaxed her, “Calm down. I’m here accompanying you, aren’t I?”
