His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 63: Does Ethan Sinclair Love Her?

Ethan Sinclair’s sudden tenderness caught Kiana Sutton off guard.

She shook her head, then nodded.

It hurt!

It really hurt!

Her heart hurt, her face hurt, everywhere on her body hurt!

But she couldn’t speak, couldn’t express her pain the way other people did, with words.

Ethan gently hugged her. The discomfort in his chest made his brows furrow. If it hadn’t been for Miles Goodman, what would have happened to her last night?

By rights, he hated Kiana so much, whatever happened to her should have had nothing to do with him, but thinking about last night, he still felt a lingering fear.

He couldn’t imagine what he would do if something really happened to Kiana Sutton.

Kiana’s face was pressed against Ethan’s chest, hearing his strong heartbeat. From last night until the morning before he came to get her, she’d been resentful in her heart.

But miserably, she realized that no matter how angry she got with him, as long as he showed her a little kindness and tenderness, she would still get close to him, without even realizing it.

She loved him, both humbly and stubbornly.

No matter how many unpleasant things had happened between them, no matter what the future might hold, at least in this moment, she was happy.

Ethan didn’t explain why he missed their date last night, and Kiana didn’t ask.

In the next two days, Ethan often came to the hospital to keep Kiana company. Kiana felt much better, and her recovery sped up.

When Quinn Sinclair came to see Kiana, her little face was full of misery. She dragged herself to the bedside and dove into Kiana’s arms. "Sister-in-law, I feel like my brother is going to assassinate me."

Kiana quickly wrote with her pen and paper: "What happened?"

"Ai... It’s all because of Miles Goodman. I used his name to chase after you back then. Who’d have thought he’d actually fall for you at first sight? What kind of twisted fate is this!"

Kiana herself hadn’t expected that "Miles Goodman" was actually a real person, and even more, he’d saved her twice.

Speak of the devil—here came Miles Goodman, holding a bouquet of red roses, strutting in with a flashy pink suit and a pair of black sunglasses, making a dramatic entrance into Kiana’s hospital room.

As soon as he walked in, Miles took off his sunglasses and winked at Kiana. "Cutie, how have you been? Missed me lately?"

Before Kiana could even react, Quinn exploded first. "Miles Goodman! Aren’t you afraid my brother will chop you up alive?"

Miles ignored Quinn, put the flowers on the bedside table, and grinned warmly at Kiana. "I personally went to the rose farm this morning to cut these flowers and wrapped them myself. Do you like them?"

Miles was, after all, her life-saving benefactor, so Kiana couldn’t just throw him out. She gave him an awkward smile.

Then she lowered her head and wrote something on paper.

Kiana’s neck was delicate and beautiful; her black hair was styled into a messy bun at the back, with a few loose strands lazily falling against her nape—enough to make anyone jealous.

The way she wrote was just so obedient and delicate—even the most rigid heart would soften around her.

Miles couldn’t take his eyes off Kiana, his gaze so gentle it gave Quinn a full-body case of goosebumps.

Quinn imagined seeing three red exclamation marks pop up above Miles’ head, with the word "danger" written on each.

Once Kiana finished writing, she handed the note to Miles. He hadn’t even read it yet and was already gushing, "Just as expected from my cutie, your handwriting is so beautiful."

Kiana quickly snatched the notebook back and wrote another line.

First line: "Thank you for saving me, and thank you for the flowers. But I’m already married."

She drew a smiley face at the end.

Next line: "My name is Kiana Sutton. Please don’t call me cutie again. Thanks."

Another smiley face. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Miles thought that every smiley face Kiana drew was just as unique and adorable as she was.

He pocketed the note with a small smile. "I know you’re married, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to pursue you. Mm... Since calling you cutie makes you uncomfortable, how about I call you little Kiana from now on?"

Kiana: "..."

Quinn: "..."

Quinn was beside herself—Kiana was obviously two or three years older than Miles, but he kept calling her cutie and little Kiana. Isn’t that breaking the age-gap courtesy?

Tch, tch, Miles Goodman was clearly here to wreck her brother’s marriage—no way would she ever support this CP!

Quinn couldn’t take it anymore and directly hauled Miles out of the hospital room.

Before Quinn could even speak, Miles was already grinning like a fool. "Little Kiana definitely likes me."

"???"

Quinn was baffled. "Are you alright? In which universe did you see my sister-in-law liking you?"

Miles shot Quinn a side-eye and rolled his eyes. "Did you notice? When little Kiana smiled at you, only six teeth showed, but when she smiled at me, she showed eight teeth."

"So?"

"The more teeth you show in a smile, the brighter it is. If she doesn’t like me, what is it then?"

Quinn’s face turned green.

When Ethan wasn’t around, there was no way Quinn was letting Miles be alone with Kiana, so she made sure to take him away when she left.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the hospital’s top floor, Kate Lynch, who’d just woken up for a bit and lapsed into a coma for several more days, finally regained consciousness again.

Stella Lynch had been by Kate’s side the whole time. The moment Kate woke up, she rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Sis, you’re finally awake. Wuwuwu..."

Kate had just woken up. Her body was still weak and she hadn’t recovered.

"Do you have any idea what these three years were like for our whole family while you were in a coma?"

Three years?

Kate was stunned. She thought she’d just slept for a while—who’d have guessed three years had passed?

"And Brother Ethan—he loves you so much; how could you bear to leave him all these years?"

Compared to the shock of being unconscious for three years, hearing that Ethan Sinclair loved her stunned Kate even more.

What is going on?

How could Ethan Sinclair love her?

Did something big happen while she was out?

All of a sudden, Kate got agitated and struggled to speak, "Stella...I only remember being kidnapped and then getting into a car accident. What happened after that?"

It was as if saying these few words took all the strength from Kate’s body. Afterward, she was left panting, extraordinarily uncomfortable.

Stella wiped her tears, helping Kate catch her breath as she said, "Do you remember when Brother Ethan confessed his feelings to you?"

Kate’s eyes were wide with shock. Was she dreaming? Or had she entered some kind of parallel universe?

Didn’t Ethan Sinclair go to confess to Kiana Sutton?

How did the person he confessed to turn out to be her?

Stella didn’t notice Kate’s confusion. "That day, you were kidnapped by Kiana Sutton’s father and got into a car accident. You were in a coma for three years. And Brother Ethan was in a car accident too—he doesn’t remember what happened during that period, but don’t worry, he hasn’t forgotten that he loves you."
