Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 369: Talk About Kids

They entered the sophisticated, neat, European-style bedroom. He placed her on the bed, and soon after, the doctors arrived to check on her—the same doctor who had been treating her from the beginning.

After they were done, the doctor said, "For any reaction to today’s ordeal, we will have to wait until tomorrow. If she turned out fine, then that’s a good news for us. All she needs to do is take her usual medications. Make sure not to expose her to crowded surroundings for a few days."

James hummed in acknowledgment of the doctor’s instructions.

The two nurses who had been taking care of her all this time—the same ones who brought her—helped Caryn with everything. Once she was ready to sleep, James entered the bedroom.

"What? Are you planning to sleep in my room now? Didn’t you hear the doctor?" she spat out, already jumping to conclusions about his intentions.

"I was just here to say good night," James replied calmly.

Caryn suppressed her anger, realizing she had misjudged him and was about to say something, but—

"But don’t worry. We will share the bed soon, as your immunity is improving really well."

"Get lost," she shouted and turned in bed, facing her back to him.

James smiled slightly, then turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a dim night lamp before walking out. As he closed the door, he said, "Good night, Caryn."

She didn’t respond, and he had already left.

Caryn let out a sigh of relief and turned around to stare at the closed door where he had just left, her thoughts unknown.

The next day, Justin and Natalie had breakfast with the Queen.

As they talked over breakfast, the Queen said, "Natalie, I know you have said no, but I still wish for you to reconsider. Your mother might not be crowned as princess now, and I am too old to handle everything. I need an heir to my throne. If you decline, then what am I going to do? You are the last one of the Belvorn Royal Family bloodline."
