My Deskmate A Movie King Faked Cancer For Cash Chapter 19

We sat across from the young couple in the lodge.

The guy teased his girlfriend.

“Man, my girlfriend is a massive fan of yours. Every single day…”

The girl kicked him hard under the table.

He let out a sharp yelp and shut up, looking thoroughly defeated.

She slid the printed photo over to me. “Don’t listen to him. I love you too, Hazel!”

“I’ve been a massive stan of yours forever!”

“You guys have to stay together forever!”

Her eyes practically shone with excitement.

Julian squeezed my hand, looking up with a grin.

“We intend to.”

I held the photo, my fingers tracing my own face in the frame.

Under the warm glow of the sunrise, I actually looked healthy. I didn’t look like someone who was dying.

Julian squeezed my fingers under the table, and I squeezed back.

That night, my fever spiked.

Julian spent the night running back and forth, pressing cold towels to my forehead.

He sat by my bedside until dawn, dark circles heavy under his eyes.

When I woke up, I reached out to touch his cheek. “Did you sleep at all?”

“Yeah.”

“Liar.”

He smiled, catching my hand and kissing the palm. “We’re resting today. We’ll move on tomorrow.”

I nodded.
