When His Nauseous Sweetheart Frowns, the Tycoon's Family Takes Turns Pampering Her-Chapter 47: We Can Take It Slow

The room was dark, so Luna Axton couldn’t see Blaze Fairchild’s expression.

Blaze Fairchild stopped kissing her neck and asked, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Then what should I do?"

To Luna Axton, his panicked tone sounded like he was genuinely scared.

It was only natural to be scared when one’s health was on the line.

She gently patted the hand Blaze Fairchild had on her waist. "It’s okay," she said softly. "Assistant Frost, his father, and his grandfather already have a prescription for the antidote. When you have some free time, you can go to Concordia Medical Hall to have your pulse checked. A course of traditional medicine should clear it right up."

"I don’t want to," Blaze Fairchild refused. "Traditional medicine is too bitter. It tastes awful."

’A grown man, afraid of drinking some medicine? Isn’t life more bitter than that?’

"Just have something sweet afterward, and it won’t be so bad."

"Isn’t there any other way? Since it’s *that* kind of drug, wouldn’t it be fine if we just... did it a few more times? It only took once to fix it back then, right?"

"Ahem!" Luna Axton choked on her own spit.

At that moment, she was held in Blaze Fairchild’s intimate embrace, discussing such private matters.

She hadn’t planned on mentioning any other cure besides the medicine, but Blaze Fairchild was so clever that he’d figured it out himself.

Blaze Fairchild’s tone was so serious that her mind didn’t wander to any inappropriate places; she simply followed his line of reasoning.

"But I’m pregnant. I can’t be your antidote right now."

"The doctor at my checkup said it’s okay, as long as we’re gentle."

As he spoke, Luna Axton felt a distinct change behind her.

It was her first time in a situation like this. Her muscles tensed up, and she didn’t dare to move. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Blaze Fairchild felt her suddenly go rigid, and the corners of his mouth lifted into the sly grin of a big bad wolf who’d gotten his way.

Her romantic experience was a blank slate; even a simple touch of the lips could leave her stunned.

’Such a fun wife. I can’t help but want to tease her.’

His voice was laced with amusement. "Why have you gone quiet?"

"I’m not ready yet," Luna Axton answered softly.

Blaze Fairchild tucked the short strands of hair behind her ear, revealing its delicate curve.

His fingers brushed, as if by accident, against the cartilage. The soft RUSTLE traveled straight to her inner ear.

It was as if his hand had found the switch to Luna Axton’s body.

He stroked it rhythmically, and Luna Axton felt waves of heat spread through her, her body temperature climbing steadily.

She wanted to throw off the covers. But just as she moved, he suddenly took her earlobe into his mouth.

"Ah!" she gasped, her face turning fiery hot with embarrassment.

Blaze Fairchild asked her, "When will you be ready, darling?"

The next second, he applied more pressure.

"Mmm..."

Luna Axton had never endured such intense torment. Powerless to resist, a soft moan escaped her lips.

The soft, breathy sound trembled, a stark contrast to her usual gentle tone, and it was utterly tantalizing.

Mortified, Luna Axton bit her lip. "I don’t know."

The moment she spoke, he turned her face toward him, sealing her lips in an urgent kiss.

She wanted to say, ’Not now,’ but Blaze Fairchild’s kiss was too dominant, too passionate.

Luna Axton was utterly defeated, her clumsy resistance melting away. She couldn’t control the soft, broken sounds that escaped her lips, lost in the intoxicating flow of his kiss.

Fortunately, Blaze Fairchild didn’t take things any further.

When the long, deep kiss finally ended, they lay snuggled together, panting softly as they waited for their racing hearts to calm.

"We can take it slow, okay?" he wheedled, his voice hoarse.

Luna Axton’s mind was a chaotic mess, and she was too exhausted to think. Without truly processing his words, she simply agreed. "Okay."

Blaze Fairchild gave her lips one last, butterfly-light kiss before letting her go to sleep.

The consequence of overtaxing her brain studying for exams during the day was an exceptionally good night’s sleep.

「On the afternoon her final exam results were released, Luna Axton received an interview notice from Concordia Medical Hall.」

She excitedly shared the news with Jenna Axton, practically dancing with joy in front of her mother.

"I get to meet a titan of the medical field! If it goes well, I can even observe their diagnostic methods. I’ll learn so much! This is amazing!"

’My daughter has always loved to learn. I’ve always known that.’

’But the Frost Family...’

Jenna Axton immediately dismissed the thought. ’I can’t stop my daughter from doing what she loves just because I’m afraid of being discovered.’

’Look at her now, so elated. She’s like a happy little girl again.’

’As long as my daughter is happy, I’ll support her.’

"For the interview, you can wear your low-collared cotton blouse with a sweater vest and your wool coat. That should be fine; no need to be too formal."

Since her daughter wanted to do this, she would help her plan and give her full support.

"Mom, should I wear makeup?" She’d had plenty of interviews for part-time jobs before and knew that different positions had very different expectations for attire.

"No, just look clean and tidy. That will be enough."

"Okay, I’ll dress just like you said, Mom."

Jenna Axton’s eyes filled with happiness. ’Her little flower was so radiant.’

’I thought that since my darling was studying clinical medicine, she’d have no connection to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.’

’Who would have thought she’d become so fascinated with traditional Chinese medicine in college.’

’Fate is like the wind, and I am just a willow seed, scattered by its whims.’

’Wherever the wind blows me, that’s where I’ll land. I can’t avoid it, nor can I resist.’

’If Father and my eldest brother see Luna, will they notice that her bone structure resembles my second brother’s?’

’According to what Rosalind Fairchild said, my second brother should be returning to the country soon.’

’I can’t control any of this. I can only leave it to fate.’

Luna Axton didn’t tell Blaze Fairchild about the interview.

After all, she wasn’t a student majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, and she had no idea about the abilities of the students from the other two related majors.

’Even if I go into the interview with the top rank, it’s not guaranteed I’ll get the apprenticeship.’

’So, I’ll just keep it to myself for now. If I fail, Blaze won’t know.’

’I’ll only tell Blaze if I succeed. That way, I’ll only leave him with a good impression of me being amazing.’

「On the day of the interview, after Luna Axton saw Blaze Fairchild off to work.」

She changed her clothes, double-checked her resume for any errors, then printed and bound it.

Caleb asked her why she was going to Concordia Medical Hall.

Luna Axton said, "It’s a secret. You can’t report back to him, or you’ll ruin the surprise."

Caleb knew that the Young Master and Young Madam’s relationship was growing stronger by the day. Whenever the Young Madam was home, the Young Master was sure to be following her around like a shadow.

He assumed the Young Madam was preparing a surprise, so he didn’t report to the Young Master, deciding not to spoil the mystery.

Concordia Medical Hall was housed in a traditional courtyard home, its decor simple and elegant. Standing in the courtyard, one could smell the clean fragrance of medicinal herbs.

The person on the phone had simply told her to come for the interview, without specifying the exact time or location within the building.

Luna Axton found a gentle, elegant-looking woman and asked for details.

"Excuse me, ma’am," Luna said. "I’m a student here to interview for the apprenticeship. Could you please tell me which floor the interviews are on?"

May Ford’s eyes fell on the slight bulge of Luna’s belly beneath her coat. "It’s on the second floor, in the Vermilion Bird Hall."

Luna Axton gave a slight bow. "Thank you, ma’am."

She didn’t mind people staring at her stomach.

’Since I decided to keep the baby, I knew this day would come.’

’My teachers and classmates would notice I’m pregnant. They’d be curious about my life, and some might even gossip behind my back.’

’But I am who I am. I don’t live my life based on what other people say. I only have to ask myself one question: am I happy?’

’What matters are my own feelings. And getting to experience a different kind of life with Lucky... that makes me feel happy.’

Repeating the name the woman had given her, Luna Axton went to find the Vermilion Bird Hall.

The door was open, and someone was already inside.

An elderly man with a full head of silver hair sat ramrod straight. His face was clean and smooth, without a single wrinkle or age spot.

His sharp, vigorous gaze fell upon Luna Axton, assessing her with a calm intensity.

Luna Axton bowed calmly. "Good day, Academician Frost."

Theodore Frost wasn’t surprised. After all, his face had recently been in the national news.

It would have been abnormal if she *hadn’t* recognized him.

It also meant she paid attention to news and events related to traditional Chinese medicine.

He gestured for Luna Axton to sit. "Please, have a seat."

"Academician Frost, this is my resume." She handed it to him before quietly taking a seat to the side.

Luna Axton hadn’t been nervous initially. But now, sitting on the only chair in the room, facing Academician Theodore Frost...

...in the quiet space, face to face like this, her heart began to beat uncontrollably faster.
