Chapter 286:
Ecstasy surged through her. She snapped her head toward the bed and saw the previously comatose patient slowly open his eyes.
“Rupert, are you awake p>
A bright smile broke across Annabel’s face. Relief finally washed over her.
Rupert was awake.
He had finally woken up.
This was wonderful.
Rupert grinned and raised his eyebrows. “Does what you said just now still count p>
“What I just said?” Annabel was stunned for a moment, and then her own words came back to her.
Gazing into Rupert’s smiling eyes, Annabel was suddenly struck by realization. She glared at him angrily and pounded his chest with her fists.
“Rupert, you were pretending p>
Rupert caught her hands and pressed one of them against his chest.
“Annabel, can you feel my heart beating for you p>
The moment her hand touched his solid muscles, Annabel’s face flushed bright red.
This man was so infuriatingly flirtatious.
She drew in a deep breath to steady herself, then looked at him coldly and asked, “Rupert, why were you pretending to be unconscious p>
“You can take a guess,” Rupert replied.
After thinking for a few moments, Annabel said, “I think you’ve already figured out who planned the explosion, haven’t you p>
Rupert nodded. “I suspect Judson, but I don’t have any evidence p>
“So you pretended to be unconscious to make Judson believe his plan succeeded. You want him to make his next move and reveal his true intentions p>

Rupert didn’t answer. Instead, he stared at her intently and asked, “Is what you said earlier true p>
Rupert’s eyes were fixed on Annabel’s face.
His magnetic voice echoed in her ears, startling her.
Annabel’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up and met his deep-set eyes.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about p>
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Rupert’s thin lips. “I heard every single word you said just now p>
“And what exactly did I say? I don’t remember.” Embarrassed and annoyed, Annabel glared at him helplessly.
How dare he pretend to be in a coma in front of her?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so worried about him.
Rupert took her hand in his, rubbing it gently.
“You said that as long as I woke up, you’d be willing to do anything for me. Well, now I’m awake. Will you marry me p>
Once again, Annabel’s heart skipped a beat.
