His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 88 - Taking Advantage

Hailey excuses to use the washroom. As she entered the room, she couldn't avoid to appreciates how spacious it was. Not only that, it was complete with conveniences such as a toothbrush, liquid soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, and even bath towel, hand towel, and bathrobe.

She likes how Vince designs this hospital. If only she met Vince earlier, he would be the one she chose to design the Dream City Medical Center. But it's not too late. She could expand it soon or built another hospital across the city.

Ah! That's not what is important at the moment. She has to know what really happens regarding Vince's accident.

Hailey washed her face and brushed her teeth. When she was done, she dialed someone's Instagram.

She waited patiently for the other line to answer her call. And with a low voice, she spoke immediately. "Hello, Sandy?"

[Princess! How can I serve you this time?]

"Sandy, I need your friend's service once again."

[Sure, Princess! So, what information do you want to know this time?]

"I will email you the details. I want a fast result."

[Aye, Princess!]

Hailey ended the call to email Sandy with the information she needed. She wanted to investigate the accident that involved Vince. At first look, it could easily determine that possibly it was an attempted murder. And soon, she will know the culprit.

But she wonders who has the intention to kill Vince? Can it be possible that it is related to their company? Could it be someone from his relatives?

But the Lopez family is wealthier than the Shen's, and then it could be someone?

Hailey took a deep breath to calm down. She stared at her reflection to make sure that she look inauspicious.

She is about to make Vince sign a contract with her. She finally got Vince to work with her. But then now?

She won't let anyone harm him. And so she needed to know who has an interest in killing Vince.

And for the meantime, Vince must notice nothing yet.

Hailey steps out of the washroom; she asks Vince if he needed to use the lavatory. Vince nodded. She helps him walk when he is still a little unsteady in walking on his own. Once Vince settled inside, she got out of the washroom and waited outside to let Vince do his thing.

"Thank you," Vince said to her when they are now both lying on the bed.

Vince insisted on sharing the bed with her. She refused as she worries that Vincent would be in discomfort, or might she hit the part of his body still aching.

But Vince persuaded her. Now she was lying on the pillow, and Vincent was resting on her shoulder.

If Vincent hadn't had an accident, she would think that he is a pervert trying to take advantage of her. It happens, Vincent is burying his face between her neck and collarbone. So his chin was resting above her soft chest.

Hailey sighs inwardly. Since Vince was in a pitiful state, she'll allow him to take advantage of her.

She places her hand on top of Vince's head. If she and Vince hadn't slept in the same bed twice in recent nights, this situation would be extremely awkward on her part.

Gladly, they were more than acting like a real couple. Kissing, embracing, and sleeping on the same bed have become a natural thing for them now. Otherwise, she'll be blushing red to death next to Vince tonight.

The following morning, a soft knock on the door. Vincent is already awake, but he pretends to be still sleeping. When no one is responding, the door is pushed open since it was unlocked.

Fred peeps inside. He saw such a scene. Vincent and Hailey were still sleeping, and his son is pillowing on his girlfriend's chest.

It seems that his son is enjoying his stay in the hospital like the accident is only his way to display such intimacy.

"What a lucky bastard."

Fred heard someone murmuring behind him. It was none other than his nosy nephew Carl, who was also peeking at the door.

"What the..." Fred closes the door and turns around to face Carl. "What are you doing, Carl? Keep quiet! They were still sleeping!"

"Heh. Isn't that I who is supposed to ask you, uncle?" Carl winks at Fred.

"What are you talking about?" Fred is sensing that Carl is threatening him now that he is caught peeping at his son.

"Heh. You wanted to check on them, isn't it, uncle?" That was only a joke question, and Carl knew he would scold him.

"You, bastard! Shut up! I just wanted to know if Vincent is already awake. He has early tests today!" Fred reasons out. He walks past Carl, who remains grinning at him. 'This bastard is too nosy!' "Come on, Carl! We need to buy some breakfast before they wake up!"

"Hehe…" Carl remained grinning, even though they were outside. He discovered how fun to tease this family and watch their family drama; that is why he chooses to stick around them even how a nagger his aunt Hilda was.

Meanwhile, Vince slowly raises his head and glances at the door. He heard the distinct conversation that now disappeared.

Vincent stared at Hailey. She was still sleeping peacefully. He slowly gets up and places a kiss on her forehead. Not long, Hailey moans and turns to her other side. After she realized she was not in the penthouse, she sat up abruptly and looked around.

"Oh, you're awake!" she burst out sleepily.

Vince chuckled to see her so cute waking up like that. She rubs her eyes to clean them. Her fingers run on her hair and comb them.

"Are you hungry?" she asked afterward.

"I think I must stay fasting for a few hours."

"Oh, right? How about warm water?"

"Yes, please. But before that, I want to get my morning kiss."

Hailey sits still on the bed when Vince is slowly leaning to kiss her. She's praying that none of his family suddenly appeared in the door and caught them kissing.

She won't mind being this intimate in front of other people. But now that she is with Vince's family. It feels a little strange.

"I'll get you warm water." She parted from Vince sooner and hurried outside. She froze on the floor when Hilda was also getting out of the guest room exactly. She steps out of the patient's room. Hailey was lost with words for a moment. She pursed her lips with a smile and greeted Vince's mom. "Good morning, Mrs. Shen."

Hilda has no plan to reply. But she remembered what Fred said last night. She nodded at Hailey, then walked toward the door and got out of the ward.

Hailey sighs with relief. Vince's mom still doesn't like her, and she understood why. All she believes, she is a vixen who bewitched his son.

But now that she realized what she really feels for Vince. Maybe it is time to show Hilda Shen that she isn't a vicious woman but someone who loves her son.
