Chapter 66: Taking Care of Her
Not long after, the nurse who followed the chief physician came in with a box of heatwraps. She was petite and looked young, wearing a pink nurse uniform.
It was rare for the young nurse to see a man like Edwiin, who was so good-looking and protective of his girlfriend. She felt envious just by looking at him from the side. Therefore, when she handed him the box, she added a note.
“You can get up early tomorrow and make it for her,” the nurse whispered with a blush on her face. She secretly lowered her head and glanced at him several times. “Don’t take too much of the brown sugar. It’s too sweet and doesn’t taste good.”
Edwiin looked at the note carefully and put it in his pocket, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” The nurse waved her hand and her face turned red. Although the man’s words were cold, his voice was low and seductive, making her felt dizzy.
When she sent Edwiin out, the nurse had been staring at Edwiin’s tall and straight back. She secretly fantasized about how great it would be if she could find a boyfriend with half of this man in the future!
Suzanne clutched his shirt tightly. Although it didn’t hurt as much now, she felt weak all over. Even her voice was soft. “Edwiin, where are we going?”
“I’ll send you home,” said Edwiin. He opened the car door with one hand and carefully placed her inside.
The nurse’s continuous staying in the ward made him couldn’t stick the heatwrap to Suzanne. So he went out to pay the bill and he simply took her and left.
Suzanne hummed in agreement. She turned her head slightly and closed her eyes.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After getting out of the hospital, Edwiin took a detour and didn’t dare to drive too fast. From time to time, he would glance at Suzanne out of the corner of his eye, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable again.
In just a few minutes, a soft ringtone sounded in the quiet car.
Suzanne frowned.
Edwiin frowned and slowed down the car a little. He took the handbag out of her hand and opened it quickly. The white phone was still singing.
“Suzanne, is the date fun?” As soon as the phone was connected, Nancy on the other end of the line shouted before Edwiin could speak, “It’s already past 10 o’clock. Are you not coming back?”
“On the way.” Edwiin glanced at Suzanne and lowered his voice.
“Oh?” Nancy was stunned. After hearing what he said, she realized that it wasn’t Suzanne and felt a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I thought it was Suzanne.”
“It’s okay,” Edwiin said. “You can come down to open the door later. I don’t know the password.”
Nancy was silent for a few seconds before cautiously asking, “Are you her boyfriend? The one we saw last time?”
The way she addressed him made Edwiin feel comfortable, and he responded with an affirmative answer.
“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Nancy seemed to have understood a bit. Then, it seemed as if she thought of something. She cried out in alarm, “Ah, the apartment’s power went out! Why don’t you take her back your house? It is too hot without an air-conditioner.”
Edwiin raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll get even with you?”
“It doesn’t matter!” Nancy smiled happily and said slyly, “You’re so handsome, what’s wrong with me giving you a hand! Besides, Suzanne loves me the most, so she definitely won’t hit me!”
She was full of confidence.
Edwiin turned his head to look at Suzanne, who was sleeping soundly, and said softly, “Okay, then she won’t go back.”
“Okay! Then I’ll go to sleep with peace of mind. Remember to send her to the TV station before 9:20 tomorrow morning. Our chief operator Mr. Hook said that there will be a regular meeting. Those who are late will have their exam marks and bonuses deducted.”
After hanging up the phone, Edwiin entered the password and switched it on.
No matter what password Suzanne set, it couldn’t be without the numbers of 7, 2, and 6, so Edwiin reorganized it slightly. Combined with the password of her computer, he easily solved the password of her mobile phone.
Edwiin browsed through the contacts and album. As expected, he did not see any traces of the man before, so he felt a little relaxed. After entering a series of numbers into the new contacts list, he put the phone back in her bag.
It was already past eleven o’clock when he drove back to his apartment.
He carefully placed Suzanne on the bed and helped her take off her shoes. He casually picked up what the nurse had given him beside her and flipped it to the back page to look at the usage procedure. Then he looked at Suzanne.
Should he do it himself, or should she do it herself?
It was quite a serious question. If he came to help her, he would have to take off her dress. What if she woke up halfway? Would she slap him in the face reflexively?
Edwiin rubbed the space between his eyebrows. After a few seconds of silence, he reached out to pinch her soft cheeks. “Suzanne.”
Suzanne hummed and slapped his hand away. She turned her back on him.
Edwiin stared at her back for a long time. Then he got up and threw the things on the bedside table.
The fact that she could turn over proved that she didn’t hurt anymore, so he wouldn’t have to stick the heatwrap to her.
He closed the floor-to-ceiling window tightly, stood under the air conditioner, and felt that the temperature was suitable. Then he turned off the light, left the room, and went to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
The apartment bought by Edwiin had two bedrooms and one living room. He used one bedroom as the master bedroom to sleep, and the other bedroom had several large bookcases and desks, which could be used as a study room.
Fortunately, he had bought one more set of sheets. Otherwise, he would have had to sleep with a thin blanket over his head that night.
After taking a shower, Edwiin dried his hair and fell asleep on the sofa. He narrowed his eyes for a while before gradually falling asleep. However, he was woken up by the noise in the master bedroom again.
He immediately got off the sofa, furrowed his beautiful brows, and hurried to the master bedroom.
The head bedroom was lit with a warm yellow bedside lamp in front of the bedside table. At this moment, Suzanne, who was sleeping on the big bed, was curling up and clutching the quilt tightly. She was groaning in pain with a pale face.
“How do you feel?” Edwiin leaned in and reached his hand into the blanket.
Suzanne held his arm tightly, and her trembling voice was a little broken. “It hurts.”
Edwiin sighed helplessly and bent down to kiss her on the cheek. He massaged her abdomen with his big hand and said gently in a gentle voice, “It will be all right. I’ll be here.”
Under his massage, Suzanne’s felt a bit relaxed as if she didn’t feel that much pain. Even though she had fallen asleep, her hands still held his arms tightly.
Edwiin was extremely patient. He sat by the bed and massaged her for nearly half an hour. After she fell asleep in pain, he carefully pulled his arm out of her grasp.
He took off her dress and forced himself to put the heatwrap on for her. Then he found pajamas and put them on her. After that, he ran to the kitchen to boil water with sweat all over his head. When he looked through the refrigerator, he found that there was no brown sugar.
Edwiin looked at the kettle and then looked at the time on his watch. He sighed, grabbed a coat, and hurried out of the apartment with his car keys in hand.
