Chapter 75

That afternoon, Matt Ford moved the CEO’s laptop, along with contracts, reports, proposals and project documents needed for the next few days, into Thalia’s hospital room. He even arranged for a desk and

chair to be set up.

Although Thalia had hired a private nurse, Asher insisted on personally taking care of her at the hospital.

In truth, there wasn’t much for Asher to do. Nurses handled the medications and IV treatments, a housekeeper prepared meals, and the nurse aide managed cleaning and other basic needs.

But despite being incredibly busy, Asher constantly found ways to be useful.

When Thalia had merely mentioned that he had made soup for Grace–even though he hadn’t actually made it–she was clearly bothered. To cheer her up, Asher promised he would make time the next morning to go home and prepare homemade soup for her himself.

When the housekeeper brought food, Asher insisted on arranging it on the bedside table and feeding Thalia bite by bite.

Thalia smiled with gentle exasperation. “I’m not a child, darling. I can feed myself perfectly well.”

“Absolutely not. You’ve an IV in your hand–it’s far too awkward for you.”

After meals, when Thalia needed to take her medicine, Asher poured water for her and supervised her taking it.

He even insisted on peeling or slicing any fruit she wanted to eat.

Thalia laughed, glancing at the pile of documents on his desk. “Aren’t you dreadfully busy, my love?”

“Never too busy to properly care for the most precious person in my life,” he replied warmly.

The nurse aide smiled at the scene. “Miss Winters, your husband absolutely adores you.”

Thalia’s cheeks flushed pink, her ears turning red, but she didn’t correct the nurse aide.

After the nurse aide left, Asher looked up from his desk, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “So you’re accepting me as your husband now, are you?”

Thalia blinked playfully at him. “Didn’t you say I’d be your wife sooner or later? I’m not planning to run,

and I couldn’t escape you anyway, so I might as well accept my fate, mightn’t I?”

The man’s lips curved into a smile. “That’s much better, my love.”

Under Asher’s attentive care, Thalia recovered quickly and was discharged from hospital.
