The Day I Kissed An Older Man

The two did not have to wait long. Claire's wound could have been treated quickly, but due to her public figure status and the desire to avoid obvious scars on her head, they had to use cosmetic stitches to handle it delicately.

As soon as Claire emerged, she loudly called out Sherman's name. Sherman immediately stood up and walked to her bed, helping wheel her into her ward along with the other nurses.

"Miss Claire, how are you feeling now? Are you still feeling dizzy?"

Seeing this, Rita also went over to help. However, as soon as Claire saw her, her smile turned sour. "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here. I came to take care of you since you've been admitted to the hospital. After all, Sherman's a man and might be clumsy in many ways, unlike us women who are more detail-oriented. Plus, we still need to clear up the misunderstanding from before. I need to explain to you properly that I didn't steal Sherman from you."

Claire lay on the hospital bed, her mouth twisted with anger. 'Does she really think I'm a fool? Ugh, the way she pretends to care about me makes me sick! How shameless can she be to be standing there and spouting all these so-called grandiose reasons?'

"I appreciate the thought, Miss Rita, but I don't need your care. Sherman and I have known each other for many years. We've always taken care of each other when one of us is sick, so we're very familiar with each other. In fact, I felt a bit dizzy the moment you appeared. Maybe it's because our vibes don't mix well together. Sherman, you better get Miss Rita out of here quickly."

Rita looked at Sherman helplessly. She had never heard such ridiculous excuses before. She thought Claire should just be honest if she did not like her instead of talking about 'incompatible vibes'. After the nurses escorted Claire to her room, they instructed her not to move around, to just rest quietly, and left.

"I'll inform your agent to come and take care of you later," said Sherman.

Upon hearing this, Claire immediately grabbed his hand. "No, I want you to take care of me. Serena needs to take care of her kids. It wouldn't be right to call her over now!"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Before Sherman could respond, Rita quickly expressed her eagerness to care for her.

"How about letting me take care of

ie'

you? I don't have anyone at home either, so I can stay with you in the hospital. Miss Claire, I sincerely apologize to you. I wanted to explain everything to you earlier, but my anger got the better of me, which led you to act recklessly. But don't worry, I'll definitely make it up to

you."

Claire could not tell if Rita was genuinely naive or just pretending. She simply did not want to see Rita lingering around her and Sherman. She wanted it to be the only two of them. 'If Sherman can take care of me before, why can't he take care of me now?' thought Claire.

Claire failed to realize that Sherman

had become a married man, legally bound to Rita. He was not the same person who used to cater to her every whim, especially considering that they had not been together for a long time. Sherman had even moved on from the relationship. Only Claire remained stuck in the past, unwilling to let go.

"Sorry, Sherman can't stay here to take care of you since he needs to take care of his grandparents at home. Miss Claire, I'm your best option now. Otherwise, we could arrange for a private nurse to take care of you. That wouldn't be a bad

choice either, considering nurses are more professional than us..."

Sherman remained silent, curious to know how Rita would handle the matter. However, Claire interrupted her before Rita could finish her sentence.

"Are you incapable of understanding human language? I said I don't want you to take care of me. Plus, why are you even doing this? Are you trying to make me give up on Sherman?"
