My Husband Is A Gary Stu

Chapter 1272 She Is The Only Exception

Johanna forcefully pulled back her hand, leaning her body away to create distance between them. “If I win the bet, will you really keep your word?”

“Of course,” Zephyr paused and chuckled lightly, “But I've never lost a bet with anyone before.”

Johanna sneered, “Well, you're going to lose this time!”

Seeing her hand resting on her swollen belly, her desire for survival seemed to gradually return, and Zephyr's tense heart slowly eased as well.

The oatmeal on the bedside table had already gone cold, so Zephyr asked the housekeeper to bring up another serving.

Since it was food for a pregnant woman, the housekeeper didn't dare to be negligent.

The oatmeal was cooked to a thick consistency, with some raspberries added in. As they cooked and blended with the oats, a faint, pleasant aroma filled the air.

Zephyr tasted a bit to make sure it wasn't too hot, then brought it to Johanna's mouth. “You've slept for a full ten hours. You must be hungry, and so must the baby.”

Johanna didn't insist any further and lowered her head to eat the oatmeal.

As they took turns eating the oatmeal, the bowl gradually emptied. Zephyr gently wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin.

As Johanna was about to raise her hand to push him away, he had already lowered his hand first.

Johanna leaned back on the soft pillow and after a while, her tone softened as she said, “You mentioned that you would have a doctor treat my eyes. Please let the doctor come and take a look now.”

Even if she was unwilling, since Zephyr had thrown out a bait, she couldn't afford to confront him for the sake of her child.

As long as she regained her sight, her chances of escaping would be much greater when the time came.

The bedroom was a bit chilly, so Zephyr pulled the blanket over her, “I've contacted the best ophthalmologists in the world, but it will take some time for them to arrive.”

Johanna knew that Zephyr wasn't lying.

When she first lost her sight, Timothy also contacted an authoritative ophthalmologist from a foreign hospital, who would take about a week to arrive in Chanaea.

Since no doctor had come, Johanna didn't want to continue conversing with Zephyr.

Just as she was about to make an excuse that she was tired and ask Zephyr to leave, her left calf muscle suddenly tensed up, giving her a sore and numb cramping pain.

Johanna clutched the blanket in pain, and Zephyr immediately asked, “What's wrong?”

“My leg has a cramp.”

For the first time, Johanna experienced a leg cramp. She didn't know how to describe the numbness and soreness that spread from her foot to her leg, causing her to shed involuntary tears from the pain.

Zephyr pressed the bell beside the bed, urging the doctor to come up quickly.

After the doctor hurriedly arrived, Johanna's leg was still twitching, her eyes were moist, and the corners of her eyes were red and swollen. Zephyr stood to one side with one hand on his hip, his expression extremely gloomy.
