Bianca, who was about to leave, stopped in her trac and turned around, looking surprised.
Harels face stayed neutral. She had to admit, even though Bianca wasn’t drop–dead gorgeous, she sure knew how to wrap men around her finger
Bianca turned with what she thought was a dazzling smile and shot Hazel a nasty look, her eyes full of challenge. “Mr. York, anything else?”
“Yeah, take the flowers with you. I’m allergic,” Grotge said.
Bianca’s smile vanished, and she stood there awkward allergic to pollen. 111 be more careful next time.”

“I’m not allergic in pollen, I’m allergic to you,” Gemge said coldly, from nome on, stay out of my sight.”
Bianca’s face went pale, and she started shaking
If George hadn’t been so blunt, she would’ve thought she misheard him
She couldn’t believe a goy would talk to her like that.
Wash 1 George supposed to be into her? Why did his words feel like daggers?
It had to he because of Hazel. George only said that because she was there.
Bianca tried to keep her cool, clutching the bouquet of lilies with tears in her eyes, and left, humiliated and angry
Watching her leave, Hazel smirked. She felt a sweet serve of revenge
Since school, Bianca had always been the guys favorite.
But Haarl never gut why men were so into Bianca who always played the victim, Were they nuts?
When Bianca messed with Erik, it felt like a weight on Hazel’s chest.
Il Erik had fallen for someone else, Hazel might’ve been okay, but it was Bianca.
She even wondered if all men were suckers for girls like Banca
Until the saw George today.
“What brings you here?” George smiled.
Hazel snapped back to reality and walked back into the room, sitting by his bed. “I told you, since you got hurt because of me, I’m not gonna let you suffer.”

“What, not what you expected, Ms. Astor? George chuckled.
Hazel’s heart skipped a heat. She knew he was giving her an out, not wanting to muke things bander for her
If it weren’t for her past, even if George’s life was more tangled than she thought, she would’ve taken that leap, no matter the outcome. But now, she couldn’t risk it..
She knew she had nothing left to lose
“Okay,” Hazel agreed to take care of him
After all, his injury was her fault, so she couldn’t say no.
So, Harel stayed in George’s mom. She had a ton of work to do, so she opened her laptop.
Once she got into her work, she tuned out everything else, including George
George didn’t bother her either. He even picked up an apple and started peeling it for her.
Ronan happened to walk by and was stunned by the sight..
He thought, Who’s the real patient here? And since when is George so sweet and thoughtful? |

Hazel thought about his words. It meant he could take care of himself now. But yesterday, he said he felt awful all over, so she was confused.
She suddenly remembered that yesterday
day she had peeled an apple and shoved it into his mouth without cutting it into pieces.
Now, the felt she had been too careless.
“I dont usually eat fruit,” Hazel said awkwardly, hinting that she didn’t pay attention to such details,
“I can tell.” George nodded and glanced at the fruit plate in front of her, which only had too tiny pieces left.
