Ethan clearly had come prepared. He brought out a diamond ring from the pocket of his hospital gown. He did not give Tiffany the chance to reject him and directly put the ring on her finger. “I bought this ring a long time ago. Whenever I miss you at night, I’d always look at the ring. That’s how I endured it.”
The size of the diamond ring was just right. The light reflected on the diamond, and it shone brightly under the night sky. Tiffany, who was still stunned and confused, remained in his embrace. She could feel his sincerity and urgency. However, his urgency and desperate appearance made her feel suffocated. “Ethan...just let go of me first.”
However, Ethan did not listen to her. He turned her around and bent down to kiss her lips. He tightened his grip on her, trapping her in his embrace.
The night was quiet. He had proposed to her with a diamond ring under the starry sky. There was no one around to disturb them. It should be romantic, but Tiffany did not feel that way at this moment. In the past, she had loved him with all her heart, but somehow, his actions did not move her now. When she felt him trying to slip his tongue into her mouth, she became frightened and shoved him away. “Ethan!”
At this moment, Ethan also felt he was moving too fast. He stood motionlessly. “I’m sorry… It seems like I’m the only one who’s feeling it. Tiffie, do you… feel nothing for me now?”
Tiffany did not answer his question. She took off the ring and put it in his palm. “You’re behaving strangely desperate. I haven’t thought things through. You’re now staying in the hospital. Let’s talk about this when you’re discharged. It’s time for you to return to the ward.”
The atmosphere was rather tense now. Ethan walked toward the fence. Suddenly, he smiled. “Did you sleep with Jackson? I saw you attending a party with him that time. Did you find a better man than me? I worked so hard, and yet, I still can’t fight against the cruel passage of time. Am I too late?”
Tiffany was slightly stunned. At the same time, she felt guilty as well. After all, she did sleep on the same bed with Jackson even though they did not do what Ethan thought they did. Ethan probably looked into her affairs. She calmed herself down and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m confused and tired. Can we just return to the ward?”
However, Ethan acted like a stubborn child. He refused to move. She could only move forward and grabbed him. “Let’s go. Don’t act so childish. I promise you that I’ll give you an answer when you’re discharged from the hospital. Is that okay?”
Upon hearing Tiffany’s words, a smile bloomed on his face. He lowered his head slightly and asked for a kiss. “Just kiss me once. What you did earlier hurt my feelings.” At the same time, he put his hands into his pocket and switched on his phone.
Tiffany felt slightly unwilling and awkward. However, in the end, she kissed him softly on the cheek. Otherwise, she did not know how long they would have to stay here.
Ethan noticed that he had received a message. It meant that Mark and Arianne had left the hospital. Only then did he hugged Tiffany’s waist and went downstairs.
