Her Precious Baby

Locking the car door, he headed toward the hospital with huge strides with her in his arms. He called the elevator and went to the hospital room on the top floor.

Throughout it all, Angeline hugged his neck tightly. Running a fever in the first place and having been in the rain, she couldn’t stop shivering right then, her head spinning.

All she could do was rest all her weight on the man and keep her eyes closed, allowing him to carry her into the hospital room. Without realizing it, she had already ended up in the bathroom.

It wasn’t until she was placed in a bathtub and a gigantic hand began unfastening her clothes that some of her senses returned to her. Clutching at her collar, she eyed Evander warily.

“W-Why did you strip off your shirt? What do you want to do?”

“Are you afraid? You were very aggressive when you kissed me, though.”

Evander’s tone was teasing. His shirt was hanging off him then, revealing his flawless eight-pack abs. He was leaning down slightly, and that angle afforded Angeline an even clearer view.

For a moment, words eluded her.

She lowered her head, her face stained with a hint of crimson. “That’s an entirely different matter. Besides, I want to take a bath. You can’t stay and watch at the side, can you?”

“Why not?”

Evander merely shrugged, not at all bothered. In fact, a wicked gleam glinted in his eyes.

“I want to take a bath as well. Why don’t we do it together, and I’ll help to lather you?”

“What a scoundrel!”

Shooting him a glare in embarrassment, Angeline continued stammering, “Don’t forget that Francesca, Floretta, and Sebastian are also in this hospital room. Stop acting so reckless, or it’d be bad if they were to overhear!”

“Don’t worry about that. Ever since the doctor checked you over, I arranged for a hospital room for them next door,” Evander explained unhurriedly, an unperturbed expression on his face.

His words left Angeline without a retort.

Ah, no wonder!

As a matter of fact, she had found it peculiar that no one came to check on them when they created such noise earlier.
