Her Precious Baby

Then, the steady sound of leather shoes clacking on the marble floor echoed in the silent room.

It was obviously Evander, for no one else’s footsteps could sound as calm and composed as his.

Evander strode toward the bed and was about to lift the covers when Angeline stopped him with a shrill cry, “Stay away!”

Angeline covered her face with her hands, and when she sensed Evander pausing in his tracks, she lifted her head to steal a quick glance at him before pivoting and running away.

I look awful right now. Will Evander be spooked when he sees me in this state?

Despite preparing herself mentally, she was still overwhelmed by embarrassment when they really met.

Angeline ran and hid behind the curtain, whimpering as she pleaded, “Don’t come near me. Please go away.”

Unfortunately, Evander caught a glimpse of her face in that split second when she lifted her head just now and noticed the red rashes that marred her countenance.

He was shocked to see such a severe case of allergy, but he wasn’t at all frightened or disgusted by the sight.

“Angeline, how long do you intend to hide from me? Do you not want your face to be treated?”

He approached her and grabbed the curtain, attempting to yank it open, but as soon as he touched the curtain, she began trembling violently. Her voice cracked as she spoke. “Don’t touch me! Leave right now if you have respect for me!”

She would feel inferior whenever she faced Evander.

After all, she had always been a meticulous and sensitive person. From the start, she dared not accept Evander’s courtship due to her troubled past, and now that she had been disfigured, she didn’t know how to face him.

“Okay, okay. I won’t touch you. Please calm down.”

He sighed upon seeing how anxious she was. Taking a few steps back, he regarded her with concern.

Jacob witnessed Angeline’s reaction through a soundproof glass from outside the ward and growled, “Evander must be bullying Angie! I told you not to let him in, and look what happened! I’ll go in and drag him out!”
