Chapter 1538
After falling into the pond and being bitten by a sea snake, Leia suffered from temporary shock and was hospitalized. She was lucky that she survived, but the show had to be paused. The netizens had many discussions about her love triangle with Xavier and Santiago-some liked her, some hated her, and some kept a neutral stand. Some liked Xavier, some liked Santiago, and some liked Leia, and those three groups had endless fights on the Internet, making the three people very famous. Leia was practically a superstar.
After being rescued, Leia suffered from a temporary sequela-she lost her voice and couldn’t speak. During her hospitalization, both Xavier and Santiago took turns taking care of her, creating a strange battlefield in her ward. That day, Xavier went to Leia’s ward early after settling his company’s affairs, but Santiago was earlier than him. The generally quiet and handsome superstar behaved like a comedian, telling jokes while peeling fruits for Leia and making her laugh. “Lei, eat this apple. I’ll tell you another joke.” Santiago gently cut the peeled apple into pieces and put some toothpicks on them before handing them to Leia.
Leia nodded, looking at Santiago eagerly. Since she couldn’t speak, her expression was soft and sweet as she smiled at Santiago. It was vastly different from her usual casual and rough behaviour.
“I met a priest once
He told me that ghosts are fiercest after midnight every Sunday. Do you know why?” Santiago asked Leia with a mysterious smile.
Leia used her phone to type out, “Why? Is it because of opposing forces or the five elements? Tell me!” Leia was a fan of metaphysics and fortunetelling, so she was very interested in Santiago’s questions.
“Because then it’d be Monday, and the ghosts don’t want to go to work!” “The ghosts… don’t want to go to work?” Blinking, Leia’s mind processed his words, then she broke out into an amused grin and punched Santiago’s arm playfully. “What a corny joke! Mr. Dalton, you told such a bad joke.” “Haha! Isn’t it interesting? I’ve got a lot more. Do you want to hear more?”
Santiago had almost exhausted all his jokes. He was used to others trying to please him, so he never had to come up with things to say, but this was different. Since Leia couldn’t speak, he wanted to lighten the mood and take care of her, so he bought a book on jokes to amuse Leia every day. Soon, he realized he’d become more light-hearted and funny too.
“How boring!”
