“I am okay. Collin has already taken care of them for me,” Stanford replied in a hoarse voice patiently.
Then he raised his hand and turned on the bedside lamp.
The room was instantly lit up. After a moment of discomfort because of the light, she looked directly towards him.
He wore a white shirt, looking pale but still quite handsome.
And the lower half of his body was under the same quilt with her.
Soon she realized that they were actually lying in one bed.
She got stunned instantly, not knowing what was going on.
So they slept in the same bed just now, huh?
He wanted to ask her about her health. But when he noticed her gaze and burned face, he instantly realized what she might be thinking and hurriedly explained, “Just now you were unconscious and the situation was not so good. You grabbed me and did not let me go, so I lay here to stay with you.”
Her face burned even hotter.
Did she refuse to let him go?
She could vaguely remember something. It seemed that she had pulled him to prevent him from leaving and made a lot of demands.
What the hell, she made a fool of herself again.
But how could he say those things out just like this? She got so embarrassed at his words.
Couldn’t he just say that he was worried about her and chose to stay?
Stanford’s body stiffened and squirmed.
Although they had kissed and confirmed their relationship, he still felt flustered when it came to sleeping together.
He could tell that Phoebe also felt awkward
He immediately lifted the quilt and said, “It’s late at night. You should go back to sleep. I’ll leave.”
After saying that, he was about to get out of bed.
At this time, she hurriedly grabbed him.
“Don’t go,” she said.
He stopped on a dime, turned around and met her gaze.
She grabbed him tightly with a scarlet face.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I got frightened and I don’t want to sleep alone.”
So…
He suddenly straightened up his body.
Just now he could convince himself that he stayed because she was unconscious thus being dependent on him out of instinct.
But now she woke up with a clear mind and she still wanted his company, huh?
He felt his heart pounding like crazy and soon he could sense a heat through his whole body.
Feeling so fidgety, he hesitated.
Seeing his look, she feared that he might refuse. How could she miss such a good opportunity for them to stay alone in a dim place?
She hugged his entire arm with her small hands.
She looked at him expectantly and puckered her lips, “Mr. Fraser, don’t leave, okay? I am really scared. When I close my eyes, I see lots of blood. My belly still hurts…”
“Your belly hurts, huh?” he asked nervously. Then he prepared to leave and said, “I will get Collin here.”
She felt her temples throbbed and chose to hug him tighter.
“No need to call him in. Just stay here with me and I will soon be fine,” she said.
While being hugged tightly, he could feel her breasts rubbing against his arm.
The soft touch made him feel a fire burning up from the inside of his body.
He became restless with his arm soft, unable to refuse her.
She noticed his change of expression, smiled happily and added, “Mr. Fraser, stay with me, okay? Please!”
He replied in a stiff tone, “Okay.”
She was his beloved girl. How could he truly refuse her?
Although his reason told him that it was not proper for them to stay alone like this, he could not say no to her when seeing her begging him like this.
She instantly got satisfied and pulled him back to bed.
However, she did not lie down immediately. Instead, she sat beside him and looked carefully at his body.
He felt a bit uneasy under her gaze, swallowed briefly and said in a low voice, “You should sleep more because we have to get up early.”
“Wait,” she said.
She shook her head and went for his shirt slowly with her delicate fingers.
Then she unlocked one of his buttons.
He almost forgot to breathe and looked at her in a daze.
Then he quickly grabbed her hand and asked, “What are you doing?”
She was also a bit shy because it was her first time to unlock a man’s buttons. But she was still determined to do so. She said seriously, “Show me.”
He got speechless.
In the middle of the night, she unbuttoned his shirt and asked to see his body. Was this really acceptable?
He thought about a lot of things and could not figure out a way to handle the situation. It was more dangerous and difficult for him than being chased by the Turner family.
He hastily grabbed her hand and said hesitantly after struggling for a while, “It’s not the right time.”
“Why?” She was confused.
He looked more embarrassed and his face burned up.
Feeling uneasy, he said in a small voice, “You… Your health has not recovered yet. So you can’t do any… high-intensity… ahem… workouts.”
Hearing his word, she froze.
What high-intensity workouts? She was going to check his wounds. What did it have to do with her health?
Being in a trance for a few second and noticing his uneasy look, she instantly realized what he was thinking.
Did he misinterpret her words for something else?
She felt her heart thumping fast with embarrassment.
So she quickly explained, “I… I just want to see your wounds.”
Upon hearing this, he got stunned and then more embarrassed.
Had he misunderstood her words?
Jesus Christ!
But somehow in his heart, he felt a bit disappointed.
He quickly let go of her hand and said sheepishly, “Ahem, ahem, I am fine. I got bandaged and you won’t see any of the wounds.”
She still stared at his shirt.
Tapping on his buttons with her fingers, she looked up and smiled like a mischievous little fox, “Mr. Fraser, did you just mean that as long as I regain my health, we can do some… high-intensity workouts?”
