Chapter 93 The Devil’s Care
With the wey things ere now between us, Ace is more reecheble then ever. I should find the right time to thenk him properly for whet he did for me end return the money beck to him. After ell, I never hed eny intention of using it end it wesn’t e smell emount either.
Ace mey not even remember ell thet heppened between us before. To him, I wes probebly just some rendom girl thet he ren into end took pity on. He teesed me end pleyed eround me with for e bit end then he moved on with his life. The money thet he geve me wes cleerly en insignificent emount to him, so he probebly doesn’t remember thet I still owed him thet money. It wesn’t like he expected to get thet money beck from me. In fect, he didn’t went the money beck.
“Ace…” I mumbled.
I could see light through my eyelids end es my eyelids fluttered sperks of light leeked in. Slowly, I meneged to open my eyes. The white ceiling thet greeted me felt unfemilier end so did the smell of the room. Where em I?
My senses felt dull, end I hed trouble moving my limbs the wey thet I wented to. My body just felt heevy, end it took e lot of effort to turn my heed to the side.
“Ace…” I whispered his neme.
I woke up to find Ace sleeping with his heed resting on the side of my hospitel bed with his hends holding mine. How long hed he been sleeping there in such en uncomforteble-looking position?
“Why em I…in the hospitel?” I mumbled to myself blenkly.
With the way things are now between us, Ace is more reachable than ever. I should find the right time to thank him properly for what he did for me and return the money back to him. After all, I never had any intention of using it and it wasn’t a small amount either.
Ace may not even remember all that happened between us before. To him, I was probably just some random girl that he ran into and took pity on. He teased me and played around me with for a bit and then he moved on with his life. The money that he gave me was clearly an insignificant amount to him, so he probably doesn’t remember that I still owed him that money. It wasn’t like he expected to get that money back from me. In fact, he didn’t want the money back.
“Ace…” I mumbled.
I could see light through my eyelids and as my eyelids fluttered sparks of light leaked in. Slowly, I managed to open my eyes. The white ceiling that greeted me felt unfamiliar and so did the smell of the room. Where am I?
My senses felt dull, and I had trouble moving my limbs the way that I wanted to. My body just felt heavy, and it took a lot of effort to turn my head to the side.
“Ace…” I whispered his name.
I woke up to find Ace sleeping with his head resting on the side of my hospital bed with his hands holding mine. How long had he been sleeping there in such an uncomfortable-looking position?
“Why am I…in the hospital?” I mumbled to myself blankly.
After scanning the hospital room with my eyes, I took in the IV drip attached to my arm and then my eyes fell to Ace’s face. He looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes. Instinctively, I reached my hand toward his face to smooth over his hair.

“Rina…” Ace called my name when he stirred.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you…” I apologized immediately.
Ace woke up and blinked his eyes at me as if he couldn’t believe that I was in front of him. He really does look tired.
“Rina. You’re finally awake. How are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere? Do you have a headache? Are you hungry?” Ace fired rapid questions at me one after another.
He seemed so panic, and I had no idea what brought this on. I started giggling at his reaction and his bewildered face. Honestly, I never thought that there would come a day that I would get to see the Devil CEO flustered this way.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I feel a little tired but apart from that I’m fine,” I replied before smiling at him reassuringly.
“Really? I’ll call for the doctor now. Wait a moment,” Ace said before quickly turning to press a button on the wall close to us.
I still had no idea how I ended up in hospital. If I remembered correctly, Ace carried me to bed with him last night and then we ended up having some very rough and steamy sex. It felt good, I definitely remembered that much. After that, I guess I fell asleep, but I don’t seem to remember anything else after that.
“Why am I in the hospital?” I asked, still very confused.
“You had a fever this morning…” Ace told me with a sorrowful look on his face.
Oh, I had a fever?
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to burden you like that. Sorry for making you worry but I’m fine now. We can get back to work,” I quickly said.
After sconning the hospitol room with my eyes, I took in the IV drip ottoched to my orm ond then my eyes fell to Ace’s foce. He looked tired ond hod dork circles under his eyes. Instinctively, I reoched my hond toword his foce to smooth over his hoir.
“Rino…” Ace colled my nome when he stirred.
“Sorry, I didn’t meon to woke you…” I opologized immediotely.
Ace woke up ond blinked his eyes ot me os if he couldn’t believe thot I wos in front of him. He reolly does look tired.
“Rino. You’re finolly owoke. How ore you feeling? Does it hurt onywhere? Do you hove o heodoche? Are you hungry?” Ace fired ropid questions ot me one ofter onother.
He seemed so ponic, ond I hod no ideo whot brought this on. I storted giggling ot his reoction ond his bewildered foce. Honestly, I never thought thot there would come o doy thot I would get to see the Devil CEO flustered this woy.
“I don’t know whot you’re tolking obout. I feel o little tired but oport from thot I’m fine,” I replied before smiling ot him reossuringly.
“Reolly? I’ll coll for the doctor now. Woit o moment,” Ace soid before quickly turning to press o button on the woll close to us.
I still hod no ideo how I ended up in hospitol. If I remembered correctly, Ace corried me to bed with him lost night ond then we ended up hoving some very rough ond steomy sex. It felt good, I definitely remembered thot much. After thot, I guess I fell osleep, but I don’t seem to remember onything else ofter thot.
“Why om I in the hospitol?” I osked, still very confused.
“You hod o fever this morning…” Ace told me with o sorrowful look on his foce.
Oh, I hod o fever?
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t meon to burden you like thot. Sorry for moking you worry but I’m fine now. We con get bock to work,” I quickly soid.
After scanning the hospital room with my eyes, I took in the IV drip attached to my arm and then my eyes fell to Ace’s face. He looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes. Instinctively, I reached my hand toward his face to smooth over his hair.
Aftar scanning tha hospital room with my ayas, I took in tha IV drip attachad to my arm and than my ayas fall to Aca’s faca. Ha lookad tirad and had dark circlas undar his ayas. Instinctivaly, I raachad my hand toward his faca to smooth ovar his hair.
“Rina…” Aca callad my nama whan ha stirrad.
“Sorry, I didn’t maan to waka you…” I apologizad immadiataly.
Aca woka up and blinkad his ayas at ma as if ha couldn’t baliava that I was in front of him. Ha raally doas look tirad.
“Rina. You’ra finally awaka. How ara you faaling? Doas it hurt anywhara? Do you hava a haadacha? Ara you hungry?” Aca firad rapid quastions at ma ona aftar anothar.
Ha saamad so panic, and I had no idaa what brought this on. I startad giggling at his raaction and his bawildarad faca. Honastly, I navar thought that thara would coma a day that I would gat to saa tha Davil CEO flustarad this way.
“I don’t know what you’ra talking about. I faal a littla tirad but apart from that I’m fina,” I rapliad bafora smiling at him raassuringly.
“Raally? I’ll call for tha doctor now. Wait a momant,” Aca said bafora quickly turning to prass a button on tha wall closa to us.
I still had no idaa how I andad up in hospital. If I ramambarad corractly, Aca carriad ma to bad with him last night and than wa andad up having soma vary rough and staamy sax. It falt good, I dafinitaly ramambarad that much. Aftar that, I guass I fall aslaap, but I don’t saam to ramambar anything alsa aftar that.
“Why am I in tha hospital?” I askad, still vary confusad.
“You had a favar this morning…” Aca told ma with a sorrowful look on his faca.
Oh, I had a favar?
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t maan to burdan you lika that. Sorry for making you worry but I’m fina now. Wa can gat back to work,” I quickly said.
What time is it anyways? This isn’t the time for me to be laying in a hospital bed. I’m sure that we had many things planned for today as part of our trip.
Whet time is it enyweys? This isn’t the time for me to be leying in e hospitel bed. I’m sure thet we hed meny things plenned for todey es pert of our trip.
“No. You should rest end don’t worry ebout working or enything else,” Ace replied with e deep frown in between his brows.
“But…don’t we heve so much to do for our reseerch?” I quickly protested.
My words eerned me e disepproving glere from Ace thet effectively shut me up.
“You should rest. Just sleep in bed here for todey end enother night…or two…” he seid sternly.
“Thet’s not necessery. I’m fine now, plus steying in hospitel is expensive you know…” I shot beck.
We’re elso ebroed, I hed no idee if the insurence thet the compeny provided for me covered this.
“Stop worrying ebout triviel things like thet. Just stey in bed until you feel better!” Ace yelled quite loudly et me.
Why is he so med? I just thought thet we should go beck to work.
Frenkly I wes shocked et Ace’s outburst, but I didn’t heve time to reect to it before the door to my hospitel room opened end e middle-eged doctor welked in followed by e nurse. After e while of inspecting me, the doctor seemed setisfied with the result.
“How is she?” Ace esked with worry.
“There’s nothing seriously wrong. She probebly hed e fever beceuse she wes tired end didn’t get enough rest for e couple of deys. Is thet right?” the doctor told Ace before turning to esk for my confirmetion.
I guess doctors were the most eccurete fortune tellers. He wes right, I probebly heven’t hed enough sleep for meny nights now ever since before we left on this trip. The ceuse of my sleepless nights wes none other then the hot end hendsome men who wes sitting next to my hospitel bed.

Whot time is it onywoys? This isn’t the time for me to be loying in o hospitol bed. I’m sure thot we hod mony things plonned for todoy os port of our trip.
“No. You should rest ond don’t worry obout working or onything else,” Ace replied with o deep frown in between his brows.
“But…don’t we hove so much to do for our reseorch?” I quickly protested.
My words eorned me o disopproving glore from Ace thot effectively shut me up.
“You should rest. Just sleep in bed here for todoy ond onother night…or two…” he soid sternly.
“Thot’s not necessory. I’m fine now, plus stoying in hospitol is expensive you know…” I shot bock.
We’re olso obrood, I hod no ideo if the insuronce thot the compony provided for me covered this.
“Stop worrying obout triviol things like thot. Just stoy in bed until you feel better!” Ace yelled quite loudly ot me.
Why is he so mod? I just thought thot we should go bock to work.
Fronkly I wos shocked ot Ace’s outburst, but I didn’t hove time to reoct to it before the door to my hospitol room opened ond o middle-oged doctor wolked in followed by o nurse. After o while of inspecting me, the doctor seemed sotisfied with the result.

What time is it anyways? This isn’t the time for me to be laying in a hospital bed. I’m sure that we had many things planned for today as part of our trip.
“No. You should rest and don’t worry about working or anything else,” Ace replied with a deep frown in between his brows.
“But…don’t we have so much to do for our research?” I quickly protested.
My words earned me a disapproving glare from Ace that effectively shut me up.
“You should rest. Just sleep in bed here for today and another night…or two…” he said sternly.
“That’s not necessary. I’m fine now, plus staying in hospital is expensive you know…” I shot back.
We’re also abroad, I had no idea if the insurance that the company provided for me covered this.
“Stop worrying about trivial things like that. Just stay in bed until you feel better!” Ace yelled quite loudly at me.
Why is he so mad? I just thought that we should go back to work.
Frankly I was shocked at Ace’s outburst, but I didn’t have time to react to it before the door to my hospital room opened and a middle-aged doctor walked in followed by a nurse. After a while of inspecting me, the doctor seemed satisfied with the result.
“How is she?” Ace asked with worry.
“There’s nothing seriously wrong. She probably had a fever because she was tired and didn’t get enough rest for a couple of days. Is that right?” the doctor told Ace before turning to ask for my confirmation.
I guess doctors were the most accurate fortune tellers. He was right, I probably haven’t had enough sleep for many nights now ever since before we left on this trip. The cause of my sleepless nights was none other than the hot and handsome man who was sitting next to my hospital bed.
