And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 144

Yesterday, in a desperate rush to save her, he’d pushed himself too hard.

His leg had started to ache again is he stepped out the door, so he’d reluctantly resorted to using a wheelchair.

“Has it gotten worse?” Gwendolyn asked, her voice laced with concem.

Just overdid it with the walking.” Howard tried to keep his tone light.

Gwendolyn glared at him, harmless yet stem. How could he joke at a time like this?

“Mr. Chadwick, I’m worried you might do some lasting damage. You’ll be in agony every time it rains or the cold sets in,” she said, her brows knitting together in frustration.

“Are you saying you’d like to see me in pain?”

Howard’s eyes were like a placid lake, but the turmoil beneath was known only to him.

Gwendolyn parted her lips slightly, thinking she wouldn’t wish pain on him. Yet for reasons unknown, she couldn’t voice her thoughts. Howard slowly rose from the wheelchair, his frame trembling slightly as he leaned closer to her. Their gazes leveled.

His warm breath brushed her cheek and earlobe.

Gwendolyn stiffened involuntarily, her beautiful almond–shaped eyes rippling like a disturbed pond.

“Howard?”

“Gwendolyn, about that contract

Could we annul it?

He wanted to ask, but the words remained lodged in his throat.

Because Gwendolyn had passionately pressed her lips to his.

Howard’s spine straightened a touch, the mole on his neck flushed hot, a searing red. Her compassion, her joy, and her empathy sent a shiver through him.

For a moment.

Gwendolyn pulled back, her checks flushed, “The dopamine released by the body can act as a natural painkiller.”

The explanation she concocted was so far–fetched it couldn’t fool even a layman like Howard.

Yet he nodded thoughtfully.

“I see” His voice camed an almost imperceptible hint of amusement

Gwendolyn’s face turned even redder. She shifted uncomfortably, but Howard gently captured her wrist, careful to avoid

“Dear Dr. Gwen, it seems the dosage of dopamine wasn’t enough.”

As his words fell, he kissed her again. It was passionate, scorching and irrepressible.

He was gentle yet focused, ascetic yet seductive.

Her heart pounded wildly, full of longing and embarrassment. She even thought if they became the closest of companions, then. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Howard’s body went limp, laid upon the soft hospital bed.

Howard bent down to kiss her and her vision darkened.

She could feel the scars on her neck, kissed repeatedly, tenderly licked.

“Mr. Chadwick…” She couldn’t help but call out, curling her toes. Her focus was entirely on him, and the pain from her wounds seemed to fade.

“Dr. Gwen, you’ve been quite bold today. Keep up that assertive charm, and I quite fancy it,” he murmured.

It was as if she shone brightly.

“You’re not upset with me?” she whispered.

“Never.”

He gazed deeply into her eyes, “I’m just afraid everyone will be as taken with you as I am.”

He couldn’t bear not having her to himself.

“Howard, how could they possibly like me?” Gwendolyn scoffed. They’d rather see her dead than adored

““Owendolyn, youll join me at the press conference at Bayridge Hospital in two days. Any slander thrown your way, I’ll wash off myself:

Gwendolyn pondered his words.

Could his promise come true? He was Howard, after all.
