Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“It should be because you’ve been running around all this time and the doctor is afraid that something is wrong with your health, that’s why …… wow wow wow wow! Angela, look, look!” Raya was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly pointed out the window to show Angela.

Angela wondered why Raya was suddenly so excited and looked in the direction of her finger, and when she did, she was stunned.

Outside the window flies a huge balloon with a picture of James and Angela together in the past. And beside the big balloon, countless small colourful balloons flew up into the sky.

The large balloon rose a little to reveal a huge banner underneath –

[Angela, marry me.]

[No refusal.]

There was a lot of commotion inside the hospital, with many people running down the corridor to take pictures and many more down there –

“Marry him! Marry him!”

“That’s not right, isn’t Angela dead?”

“You don’t even watch the news? It’s been cleared up, still alive, and faking death for fear of being killed!”

“It’s so romantic, Mr. James is really handsome!”

“Damn, suddenly I regret marrying so early ……”

“Yes, Angela say yes!”

There were shouts of anything and everything, and the normally quiet hospital was in a state of uproar.

Hospital staff came out to maintain order, and security guards held up loudspeakers below shouting, “This is a hospital, it’s full of patients, be quiet! Keep quiet!!!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The people here were either patients or their families, and the clamour quickly dissipated when they heard this.

Angela frowned, this was a hospital and she didn’t want to disturb people here.

Raya pointed ahead again, covering her mouth, and said, “Angela, look ahead!”

Flowers were placed on both sides of the road in front of us and signs were posted in the middle of the road with arrows saying ‘Follow this road and walk a little bit to my heart’.

“It’s not easy to put so much together in just half a day’s work!” Raya laments, “It’s just so disruptive ……”

Angela, however, didn’t even look at the things, tightening her lips all the way into the ward.

Inside the ward the curtains were drawn and the floor looked beautiful with flowers and candlelight.

When she entered, Greyson was on the phone with his back to him, “Didn’t I fucking tell you to keep a low profile? Who told you to do this? This is a hospital!”

James was also inside the ward, purposefully changed into a suit and styled, handsome and holding a bouquet of flowers, only like Angela, he didn’t look too good.

Greyson heard the door open and knew it was over. He turned around and when he saw Angela, he hurriedly hung up the phone and gave her a couple of dry smiles.

“Brother.” Angela called out.

Greyson hurriedly stood up straight and cracked the bottom of the barrel, “James wants to propose to you as soon as possible, and we couldn’t come up with any good romantic ideas on such short notice, so I went through a buddy and found a creative agency.”

His voice was getting smaller, “My fault, it’s all my fault, I know it’s a hospital, I shouldn’t have made such a scene! It’s all because that company was so nonsensical, I’ll make sure I criticise them ……”

Finally said pitifully, “Angela, I know I’m wrong, don’t be angry.”

If he had known it would come to this, he would never have gone to this company!

James tucked the flowers into Angela’s arms, opened the ring box, got down on one knee and, without asking her opinion, simply grabbed her hand and put it on.

The ring was ready long ago and there was no problem with the size, it was just that Angela had lost so much weight over the time that it was slightly loose on her.

“Marriage in three months.” James stood up and kissed her lightly on the forehead, “I’ll arrange with my brother for someone to go and apologise to the patients in this building and the families of the patients.”

Angela looked at the ring on her hand, “But I ……” haven’t said yes or no.

“You’re tired from checking so many items, so get some rest. I’ll go with my brother first.” James avoided her somewhat stifled look, called up Greyson and left together.

Angela, “……”

She looked down at the ring on her hand again and tried to call out to James, but before she could do so, his pace suddenly quickened and he left, closing the door behind him.

“That’s – that’s a proposal?” Raya stammered, “Why is he even asking if you agree?”

Angela pursed her lips, turned the ring on her hand, swept her eyes around the room at the flower and candle balloons, and sighed softly.

I can’t really say which proposal is better compared to no proposal like this.

James and Greyson didn’t return until after 7pm, and they were lucky that no one had any problems with this fracas.

“Where’s the ring?” James glanced at Angela’s empty hand and frowned slightly.

Unhappy with his proposal and regretting being his woman?

“Wear it for fear of it falling off.” She would be heartbroken if the engagement ring fell off.

James blushed a little better at this and told her to take the ring out and put it back on her, “Buy it again if you drop it, no taking it off.”

In case some unscrupulous people get their hands on her again.

“Good.” Angela saw that he cared so much about the matter of whether she wore a ring or not, and didn’t refuse again.

At that moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Greyson raised an eyebrow and went over to open the door, “Roland?”

“Hmm.” Roland walked in.

Instead of his usual white coat, he wore a rare silver-grey suit today, looking a little less gentle and a little more reserved.

“Where are they all?” Roland looked around the room and finally landed on the ring on Angela’s hand, stunned for a moment before tugging at the corners of his lips, “Congratulations to Mr. James and Miss. Angela now.”

Angela apologised, “Thank you. I’m sorry for the bad impact on the hospital today.”

“Mr. James and Mr. Greyson have since apologised sincerely to the patient and the patient’s family, and they have all forgiven, so Miss. Angela doesn’t need to take it too seriously.” Roland looked down at Angela with a suppressed tenderness in his eyes.

James frowned slightly, but just turned his head away from the two men without saying anything.

During this time, it was thanks to Roland who looked after Angela.

Roland briefly asked Angela a few questions about her health and then said, “Actually, there’s nothing wrong with your leg anymore, so it’s fine to leave it to another doctor next.”

He smiled, “I was going to wait until you were better before I went to America, but now there’s a lot of pressure there and I have to leave in the next couple of days.”

After hearing today that Mr. James proposed to Miss. Angela, he couldn’t concentrate on his work. Lest he fall deeper into it, it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.

“Is it such a tight schedule?” Angela frowned, “When’s your flight, I’ll see you off.”

At those words, James looked up, his thin lips tightening into a straight line, a flash of displeasure under his eyes.

Roland glanced at James and his eyes fell back on Angela, “Don’t bother so much, you’re not fit to go out in your present condition. My parents and my eldest Mrs. Harvey will be there to see me off, you don’t have to worry.”

Angela pursed her lips, “My wedding is in three months, by then Roland ……”

“I’ll be there for it.” Roland said warmly, “Miss. Angela is one of the few close friends I have, I will be at your wedding.”

Three months is enough time to snuff out a budding crush.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, “It’s getting late, I’ll go back and pack my bags, bye.”
