Chapter 193

Ludwik frowned as he watched Whitney walk with an exaggerated sway in her step.

He moved closer, taking her delicate hand in his. His brow arched with a mocking challenge, “You want me to take this, so why not give it to me yourself?”

Was he deliberately picking a fight?

“Wasn’t it you who refused to take it?” Whitney shot back with a hint of sarcasm.

Ludwik’s voice turned icy, “As if you’d dare poison me.”

Whitney’s heart ached. He would rather believe Elaine’s lies than trust in her remedies.

Suddenly, she found herself swept up in his arms.

“What are you doing?” Whitney pushed against him.

“What do you think I want to do?” His eyes were deep, carrying a mischievous glint.

Whitney fell silent.

As Ludwik carried her, his scent enveloped her, a familiar warmth she longed for. It felt like her heart was suspended in the air; even the slightest softening from him sparked the fantasy that he might forgive her.

What had made her so meek? Was it the fear of losing him?

She looked down quietly. Then, her stomach growled audibly.

Whitney discreetly covered her belly.

Felix chuckled from the side, “Miss Valentine, seems like the little one’s hungry.”

Ludwik stiffened briefly, his expression unreadable, but he changed course toward the hospital cafeteria. It was a spotless and hygienic place. He seated her at a table and sat across from her without a word.

Felix went to order food.

Whitney stole glances at Ludwik’s profile until she was interrupted by an elderly voice, tinged with amusement, “Ludwik, what a coincidence!”

Ludwik looked up and quickly rose to his feet, respectful, “Braxton, it’s been ages. What brings you to Banyan City?”
