Chapter - 197
Karen lay in her hospital bed, her mind racing with thoughts and her body aching from the accident she had been in. She couldn't wait to get back on her feet and leave the sterile hospital environment behind. She was bored and restless, longing for some human interaction beyond the nurses who came in and out of her room with their cheerful smiles and professional demeanour.
'Why did he have to leave without a word?' Karen thought about a certain someone, her eyes expecting to see him.
And as if on cue, there was a knock on her door, and in walked Alex, her cure. The tall and handsome man, with a pleasing presence around him.
Karen had her eyes on him from the moment he joined the company. He brought joy to her ever so mundane life. She couldn't help but be drawn to his fresh good looks. His grey eyes looked so lonely, yet so warm, and the subtle smile that always played on his lips.
