Unexpected Love: Beyond the Shadows of Deceit（475）

Chapter 475
A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1401

After Louis left the room, Taylor gently called to Scott. “How are you feeling?”

Seeing that Louis had left the room, Scott cowered in the corner of his bed. He did not know the woman who was speaking to him now.

Taylor fell silent, thought for a minute, and asked, “Scott, don’t you remember me? I had dinner with you and your brother Louis before.”

Scott had been making progress because of her treatment. He had been no longer afraid of her, but because she had been busy handling so many matters lately, she had seldom seen him. All her previous efforts with him seemed to have gone to waste now.

She felt sorry for Scott, and wanted to do what she could to give him the best medical treatment.

Scott did not relax. He looked even more tensed and scared now, holding his quilt tightly.

He looked at Taylor warily.

Taylor did not move and started talking to Scott calmly.

It was more like she was talking to herself. She talked about everything she knew about Scott and what Louis had told her.

Louis was leaning against the door outside. He had heard nothing from inside the room for some time now. He was beginning to worry.

He frowned and grabbed the doorknob, ready to rush in as soon as he heard any noise.

Hearing Taylor mention Louis, Scott relaxed a little, but still stayed at the corner of the bed.

Taylor took a small step forward.

Scott tensed up once again.

Taylor immediately stopped and took a deep breath. She continued to talk to Scott.

From the subtle changes in his facial expression and movement, Taylor surmised that Scott was now slowly letting his guard down around her.

She took that as a green light to get closer.

Taylor walked to Scott’s bedside and picked up the stuffed bear that Louis had given Scott.

“This is a cute bear, Scott. Do you want to hold him?”

Scott looked at the stuffed bear and got a little distracted.

Taylor prodded, “Look. Isn’t he cute?”

Scott nodded blankly and stared at the stuffed bear.

He remembered getting it as a birthday present from his brother, and he had stored it in his cupboard like a piece of treasure.

Taylor handed the stuffed bear to Scott.

Scott grabbed it and held it tightly in his arms.

He then realized that Taylor now stood close enough to touch him.

Scott suddenly screamed in horror. Hearing the noise, Louis immediately attempted to enter the room.

Taylor had locked the door behind him when he stepped out.

“Taylor, are you okay? Why is Scott screaming? Open the door!”

Scott started throwing things at Taylor, who was too busy dodging everything to answer Louis.

The freshly cleaned room was once again a mess.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here to help you.”

After a few slow and careful steps, Taylor was once again at Scott’s bedside.

Scott stayed calm.

He sat quietly on the edge of the bed, holding the stuffed bear in his arms.

Taylor was careful not to startle him again.

She knelt in front of him.

“You remember me, don’t you?”

Scott slowly raised his head and looked at Taylor seriously. After a while, he raised his hand and touched her face.

He remained calm and steady.

Taylor touched his hand and then held it with both hands. She let him feel the warmth of her palms.

After some time, Scott eventually fell asleep with Taylor watching over him.

Taylor decided to leave after making sure that Scott was completely calm and asleep. She was surprised to see Louis still waiting outside the door.

“Scott has fallen asleep.” Taylor then began to explain to Louis what happened.

As a physician, it was her responsibility to explain everything to her patient’s family.

She looked at Louis directly, hiding nothing from him.
