It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 57: CHECK UP

Actually Hailee didn't need to accompany Ramon to the hospital like this, it's just that this morning Ramon's mother, Lis, came and asked her to go out with her.

Hailee thought that Lis would take her to take care of all matters regarding their marriage, but who would have thought that Lis would actually take Hailee to Ramon's office and ask her to accompany her son to the hospital.

At first, Ramon refused and intended to ignore his routine check-up schedule, because he felt he was much better, but with Lis's insistence and because Hailee had already arrived, Ramon couldn't help but postpone his work and comply with his mother's request.

From the small debate between the mother and son duo, Hailee could see where Ramon got his stubbornness from.

And watching how Lis won, felt like watching a chess match. Not very talkative, but there was a strategy in every single word that she spoke.

Just seeing the two of them like that was tiring enough for Hailee. It was not a surprise, Ramon almost always won in their arguments.

"I want to ask you something," Hailee said hesitantly, but when she looked at the hospital building that was not far away, it didn't seem like the right time to discuss this. "Ah no. Next time."

If there was one thing that could make Ramon feel irritated, it was when someone wanted to say something, but then they canceled it and made him ask around.

It should be that if Hailee really didn't intend to ask, she wouldn't have to say anything at all.

"What?" asked Ramon with a frown.

"Later," said Hailee, but from her expression Ramon understood that the thing she didn't get to ask was bothering this girl.

Ramon didn't say anything after Hailee stopped asking, but he put his big hand on Hailee's thigh and didn't move it even though Hailee tried to brush it off.

"What are you doing? I'm not comfortable." Hailee frowned because Ramon's hand touched her intimately, especially when they weren't alone in the car.

"That's how I feel now, uncomfortable." Ramon made Hailee feel the same way as him.

On the other hand, after hearing that answer, Hailee didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Instead of saying the point, Ramon pointed it out head-on.

"So, what you wanted to ask?" Ramon said while removing his hand from Hailee's thigh. It seemed that this girl was not used to this kind of intimate touch, at least Ramon now know one more thing about Hailee, proving the reports that Danny gathered about her were true.

Hailee was not the type of woman like Aileen, her adopted sister.

"I'm just curious," Hailee said as their car turned and entered the hospital grounds. "You have a real lover with whom you have been together for two years, what if she suddenly appears?"

Ramon was reminded of what he got to know from digging about who his real lover was and until now, he still couldn't figure out why he had an affair with Giana Smith.

For his point of view now, that didn't make any sense.

"She will come, but she will not do anything silly at the wedding," replied Ramon. Giana's status itself was a major barrier why she couldn't see Ramon while he was still in the hospital or after.

"How can you be so sure?" but then Hailee realized something much more important. "You already know who your lover is?" Hailee asked in a sharp whisper, not wanting their driver to hear this conversation. Who knew, from whose mouth this secret conversation could reach Lis's ears?

"Of course," replied Ramon curtly. "I won't tell you, so stop asking this question." He added quickly, knowing what Hailee would ask next.

"Stingy," Hailee grumbled, leaning back against the soft back of the chair. It turned out that the conversation about this secret lover of his had ended just like that, not even five minutes from the time Hailee started it.

"You just wait here," said Ramon who then dropped Hailee off at the cafeteria near the hospital. This was the same cafeteria, the one Hailee entered together with Lis the other day when Ramon was still lying unconscious as a result of the accident. "I won't be long."

"Okay," Hailee replied, linking her index finger and thumb while spreading out the other three fingers, making an okay gesture with her right hand.

The two of them actually didn't really care about each other, at least, not to the point of being lovers.

Just because the problem between them was cleared and all the lies had been exposed which helped Hailee's relationship with Ramon get better, it didn't mean they were really a lover.

That being said, they were in a state of conforming to one another. The only thing that held them together was; both of them were mutually beneficial to each other.

Needless to say, this all sounded really complicated.

"Hailee," called Ramon before the girl closed the door.

"Yes?" Hearing Ramon call her, Hailee lowered her head. "What's wrong?"

"Don't you try to call that man," warned Ramon.

"That man?" Hailee was confused for a moment, but then understood who Ramon meant. "Oh, you mean Ian?"

"Whatever his name is," said Ramon.

"Why? You are jealous?" Hailee teased with a chuckle when she saw Ramon showing an expression as if Hailee had said the most absurd thing he had ever heard.

"Just stop calling him." Ramon ignored Hailee's words.

"I'll stop calling him if you dare to admit that you're jealous!" Hailee said in a cheerful voice and immediately closed the car door before Ramon could say anything and ran toward the cafeteria.

Hailee only stopped when she was in front of the cashier, in one of the cafes. She turned to find Ramon's car speeding away toward the hospital entrance.

"There's no way he would say something like that," Hailee said quietly to herself with a chuckle.

==============

Three hours have passed and Hailee had finished drinking three different drinks, now her stomach hurt even more because she hadn't eaten anything.

Hailee thought Ramon would be finished by lunch time, but he was taking so long.

Since this was the first routine check-up, Hailee couldn't predict when Ramon would finish, nor could she contact him. It looked like Ramon turned off his cellphone.

Initially, Hailee had intended to start lunch without waiting for Ramon, but someone suddenly sat opposite her and Hailee's heart almost stopped when she saw who the man was.
