Chapter 166 Good to have you by my side
Half an hour later, Henry finally came out.
“She is fine now.” He sat beside Liliana and exhaled.
“How bad was she?” Jonathan asked.
“She is allergic to Saffron. It starts with vomiting, rashes, tongue swelling, and then labored breathing. It has never gone far from that, but you can imagine the next. When she arrived today, she was hardly breathing a few times a minute. Thankfully, Liam called ahead and we were prepared.” Henry explained.
Jennifer also came out, and added, “What I don’t understand is why would she eat it?”
She pointed out, “The last time she had saffron was when Kyle gifted her a saffron candy, and she could not say no to him. But she had immediately pulled Henry aside and asked him to take her to the hospital.”
James filled in, “I think it was mixed in one of the pickles in the barbeque.”
Henry asked, “You were with her?”
James lowered his head, “Yeah. I was not aware that she was allergic. We fought and then she disappeared. Her phone was working but she was not picking up. I thought she had left.”
Henry did not know what to say, “Well, pay attention next time.”
Jennifer said, “Alright, go home guys. She will be fine. Henry and I are on duty anyway.”
Liliana nodded, “We should go. The kids are alone at home. I will send someone over to take care of her. Don’t overwork yourself, Jenn. Also, don’t tell her parents. I will call Aunty in the morning.”
Jonathan rubbed her head, “Let’s go. I have asked Vincent to hush it up in case she was caught by the media.”
Liliana went inside the ward and looked at Mariana for a while before she left with Jonathan.
She called Liam and informed him that Mer was okay.
James stayed back much to Henry’s surprise. But he was too busy to pry just then.
James looked at the sleeping beauty who was still breathing laboriously.
He kissed her on the forehead and said, “I am sorry. I won’t neglect you again.”
He stayed all night watching her.
The maid sent by Liliana arrived half an hour after they had left, but James asked her to stay in the lounge as he took over watchman duty.
Liliana heaved a long sigh after she lay on the bed.
Jonathan pulled her closer and rubbed her head.
“Nathan, I am starting to rely on you instinctively,” Liliana said much to Jonathan’s surprise.
“Huh?” He mumbled.
She put her palm on his heart and said, “Don’t break my heart. If you do, I might blow up the entire city.”
Jonathan laughed.
“Mer will be fine. Don’t be scared. She is a grown-up, you know. She has to figure some things out on her own.”
He pinched her cheeks and added, “I love you so much, how could I bring myself to break your heart. I am not a masochist. Besides, the kids will leave me and avenge you. I am not an idiot.”
“It sure feels good to have you by my side. I was not as scared today as I usually get.” She explained.
Jonathan flipped over and pressed her beneath him.
“Don’t worry too much. I will always be by your side. All those years that you faced everything without me, I will make up for all of those.” He vowed.
“I trust you.” She giggled.
“Now, where’s my reward?” Jonathan asked.
“Why do you always need a reward? Can’t you just kiss?” Liliana pouted.
“Mrs. Smith, I just want to ensure you don’t refuse me,” Jonathan said in a low voice filled with grievances.
“Mr. Husband, you can just seduce me, can’t you?” Liliana teased.
Jonathan burst out laughing at her tease.
“If you say so, dear wife!” He mumbled on her lips before kissing her slowly and seductively making her toes curl in pleasure.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Taking her advice, he kissed sensually, taking his time and making sure she was okay with the pace.
When he left her lips, he trailed open-mouthed kisses on her jaw, neck, behind her ear, and circled back to her lips again.
Liliana felt a strange sensation between her legs and knew that she was aroused. It was her first time feeling so aroused when sober.
Her hands had already started running up and down his torso, and his back.
“Do you want to stop?” Jonathan asked hoarsely.
“I don’t know,” She managed in between moans.
Jonathan continued to kiss her the same way and nudged her legs apart. When he settled himself between her legs, she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. He started to grind himself on her, making her feel his erection through their clothes.
When she moaned louder and did not try to push him away, he slowly started to dry hump her.
He continued, slowly increasing the speed while continuing to kiss her until she came.
“How do you feel?” He asked breathlessly.
“Amazing!” She replied immediately but clamped her mouth shut right after.
He held her hand and licked the inside of her palm while grinding herself against her.
She got the hint and nodded.
He asked her to close her eyes and started kissing her again, but this time he put her hands to good use.
Feeling sticky in their pajamas, they both took a quick rinse, changed, and went to sleep spooning.
