Whirlwind Marriage: My Possessive CEO's Undying Pampering-Chapter 849 - 847: He’s Sick (3)

"Then, should I stay?" But there’s only one bed here, though it’s quite big...

Lucas Knight got up, looked at her, and said, "I’m going to take a shower."

Eva Nightingale understood what he meant, walked over, and helped him unbutton his shirt, blushing as she took off his clothes.

Only then did she look at the band around his waist, which was on his pants.

"Um... the pants... do you want me to help you take them off too?" She blushed and answered herself, "Alright, alright, I just won’t look at you. I’ll help you unbuckle the belt, and you can take them off in the bathroom."

She looked away and then reached out to unbuckle his pants.

Before she even touched the belt, the man’s cold voice came, "What are you touching?"

"Ah... sorry!" She quickly withdrew her hand, "Sorry, I didn’t see just now."

"It’s fine, continue," he said.

With his permission, she gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, and to avoid ’touching the minefield’ again, she kept her eyes open while unbuckling the belt.

It was undone quickly.

"Take them off."

Eva: "What did you say?"

"How are you supposed to shower if you don’t take them off?"

Eva: "...Go inside and take them off then." Isn’t he at all embarrassed? Even if now we’re like strangers to each other... well, he’s particularly cold and bossy now.

Alright, since he’s relaxed about it, why should she bother? Besides... why should she fuss with a patient?

"I’m the patient." He implied that he’s seriously ill and unable to move easily, so naturally, she has to help with the shower.

"Okay." She didn’t refuse. Just hoped he would get better soon, so she wouldn’t have to be on edge... Compared to his sickly state, Eva preferred him bullying her, at least her heart wouldn’t be so uneasy.

After a bit of fussing around.

When everything was done, her face was flushed red, having not actually helped him with the shower, just glanced at him, and she was struck by how stunningly handsome he looked coming out of the bath...

However, he seemed completely unfazed.

He put on a black robe, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, looking every bit the seriously ill patient, lying there motionless, asleep.

He didn’t speak to Eva anymore.

That block of ice was finally asleep, thank goodness! She was even scared of a ’patient.’

She didn’t plan to sleep, just sat at the edge of the bed, leaning slightly close to him.

Sitting like that, and being pregnant, sleepiness overcame her, and unknowingly she fell asleep, her even breathing softly resonating in the quiet space.

Lucas Knight opened his eyes, immediately turning his gaze to her. Her fluffy head quietly resting there, at some point she had grabbed his arm and held it tight.

He hadn’t been asleep at all.

Not from the beginning...

He glanced at the European-style wall clock nearby; the time was 03:20:19.

He lifted the blanket, got out of bed, gently picked her up, as if afraid of waking her, and then placed her on the bed, only then did he get back in.

Just like before, using one arm as a pillow for her, the other large hand on her waist, holding her, but much more gently than usual.

Eva instinctively snuggled into his arms, holding the man, and in her deep sleep, she was unaware of how much her body relied on this man.

Without him by her side at night, she would toss and turn, unable to sleep. When they first broke up, she would cry into her pillow every night.

It’s been almost a month, and she still wasn’t used to sleeping alone.
