His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 138: You Earned My Kiss

Kiana saw Ethan Sinclair stretch out his hand to take the brooch, and she immediately grabbed his hand.

She gestured anxiously, "I’m not unwilling, I’ll buy it for you right now."

Kiana turned to look at the salesperson, who immediately said, "That will be two hundred and twenty thousand."

What!?

Kiana looked down at the price tag, and it really was two hundred and twenty thousand.

Can a brooch really be this expensive?

Her monthly salary is only a little over ten thousand, and even with miscellaneous bonuses and benefits, it’s only about fifteen thousand.

Even if she doesn’t eat, drink, or spend money recklessly, it would take a year or two to afford one.

When she took the pearl necklace earlier, she had thought of giving Ethan a gift, but this is just too expensive.

After hesitating for a long time, Kiana turned to look at Ethan, "This is... a bit too expensive. Maybe... we could look at something else?"

"I only like this one, only this one!"

Compared to the brooches Ethan’s family has, this is already the cheapest. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But for Kiana, this is a sky-high price.

He just wanted to know, in Kiana’s mind, what’s more important, money or him.

If it were something more practical, Kiana would find it fine, but this brooch is just decorative, she feels it’s quite painful to spend this much.

But she couldn’t resist Ethan’s liking, and besides, it’s the first time Ethan asked her for a gift, she couldn’t bear to refuse.

Luckily, Ethan previously gave her two hundred thousand, and she still had thirty thousand in her account.

So for one brooch, Kiana became a pauper with only ten thousand left in her account.

Ethan watched Kiana’s back as she paid, his gaze full of complexity.

Isn’t this woman supposed to love money?

She just received two hundred thousand from him, and yet she spent it all to buy him a brooch.

Her love for him is also a burden.

On the way back, Kiana felt heartache for her money.

Buying the brooch didn’t make Ethan as happy as she imagined, instead, his face was gloomy, lost in thought.

After a while, he finally turned to Kiana.

"Do you regret not accepting the card I gave you?"

Kiana didn’t express herself, she indeed regretted it, she should have taken that bank card.

"Ha... Even if you regret it, it’s useless. Let me tell you a secret, the card I gave you was my secondary card. As long as I don’t go bankrupt, you could buy a private jet, a small island, or even a small country. But alas, you didn’t take it."

Killing someone by striking at the heart!!!

Kiana gritted her teeth and glared at Ethan, her face puffed up like a blushing pufferfish.

Ethan saw her like this, pinched her chin, and kissed her lips, "But you still profited!"

"?"

"You earned my kiss, and my kiss is priceless!"

Kiana: "..."

Wasn’t this guy supposed to be like a cool, aloof highland flower?

When did he become so shameless?

A month later, Ethan’s arm could finally be unbandaged.

During the month he worked from home, it was Kiana’s happiest month, because she could see Ethan every day.

Although his words could be quite venomous, she still felt his tenderness.

So when she went to the company to work, and saw the resignation letter on the desk, Kiana feared Ethan would see it, and quickly put it away into the drawer.

After that, Kiana, who was an idle assistant, finally had a task, which was to manage Ethan’s meals, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Just when Kiana thought life was moving in a good direction, Ethan received a phone call.

Kate Lynch had an accident.

The cause was the end of the last filming scene; Kate was anxious to finish and return to Varden to find Ethan. Because it was getting dark too quickly, and the road was slippery and wet from the rain, she accidentally fell off a hillside.

At the time, she heard a woman shout loudly, "Watch out," and then her hand was grabbed by a woman.

It was too late, due to inertia and impact, she and the woman both fell.

The woman kept protecting her, and finally, after both were rescued, apart from having her arm and leg scratched by branches, Kate didn’t have any serious injury.

The other woman, however, had a fractured calf.

They were both sent to a nearby hospital.

After receiving the news, Ethan immediately rushed over.

As Ethan’s close assistant, Kiana had been following him around recently, and this time was no exception.

On the way to the hospital, there was no communication between Kiana and Ethan.

Kiana was very clear, no matter how gentle Ethan was to her before, there was always Kate Lynch between them.

Ethan’s tenderness to her was temporary, his love for Kate was enduring.

In the hospital.

Kate’s condition was very bad, she had lost a lot of weight, hadn’t tanned and looked like she was frightened, hugging her knees and trembling.

"Kate..."

Hearing Ethan’s voice, she suddenly looked up, and the next moment, she cried and rushed over to Ethan.

"Ian... sob... It was so scary, when I fell, I thought I’d never see you again, sob..."

Ethan subconsciously glanced at Kiana, she thought he wanted her to leave, so she lowered her eyes and left the room, closing the door behind them.

Kiana was so sensible, Ethan should be happy, but for some reason, a nameless anger surged through his heart.

Kate was still crying bitterly in his arms, looking extremely pitiable, Ethan patted her back gently, pushing her away slightly, "Okay, okay, it’s all over now."

Kate sniffed and said pitifully, "I’m hungry."

"What would you like to eat?"

"Wontons."

"Okay..."

Seeing Ethan preparing to leave, she quickly grabbed his arm, "Ian, where are you going?"

"I’m going to get you some food."

"No, don’t leave me, I don’t want to be here alone!"

Seeing Kate’s emotions become agitated again, Ethan gently soothed her, "Alright, then I’ll make a call."

Ethan called Connor Grant, and soon Connor brought a serving of wontons to the hospital room.

When Kate was eating, her hands trembled, unable to hold the spoon, Ethan couldn’t bear to watch, so he took the spoon, "Let me do it."

Kate smiled and nodded, her gaze toward Ethan filled with deep affection.

When Connor left the hospital room, Kiana couldn’t help but glance inside, and saw Ethan feeding Kate.

Thinking about how Ethan once asked her to feed him because of his fractured hand, yet now he was feeding Kate.

Kiana found it ironic.

But what could she do, she liked him.

Connor saw Kiana’s face wasn’t looking good, not knowing how to comfort her, he handed her a lollipop he bought outside.

Kiana took it and gestured a "thank you" in sign language.

Suddenly, a familiar figure passed in front of her eyes, Kiana recognized the person and froze.

Was she hallucinating? Why would Joy be here?

"Doctor, may I ask which room Wendy Fletcher was sent to tonight?"
