Chapter 376 – Where is it that you say you don’t love just because you don’t love?
Tess Baker was shocked that these were actually ordered specially for her by Bowen Carter?
“Master Carter is so thoughtful-” Linda Mark stretched her tone and looked meaningfully at Tess Baker.
“Yes!” The nurse said, “In fact, Master Carter’s grandmother is only a superficial injury, just recuperate, but Master Carter was not assured, and made a special trip to ask Dr. Liu what precautions are taken, and whether there will be any after-effects.”
“My coworkers and I are so envious, Grandma Master Carter is so lucky to be married to a man who loves her so much!”
The nurse put all the dishes away and pushed the food cart out.
“Is that what you call Master Carter not liking you?” Linda Mark winked promisingly, “I see he’s quite taken with you!”
“I just asked him today and he said he was only being so nice to me because of the baby in my belly.” Tess Baker rubbed her stomach, she was actually a little jealous of her baby.
“You believe everything he says, don’t you?” Linda Mark looked on from the sidelines, “I remember Wendy Summer was pregnant with Master Carter’s baby too, right? Master Carter wasn’t so nice to Wendy Summer, he even dragged her to get an abortion, it just didn’t work.”
Tess Baker’s heart stuttered and a glint rose under her eyes.
“Master Carter has been thinking about you for so many years, where is it possible to say that he doesn’t love you?” Linda Mark thought of Cliff Ford, a trace of gloom flashed under her eyes, but she quickly recovered as usual, “I see, it’s you who made Master Carter have a knot in his heart because of this matter of the senior betraying him.”
“He’s got this knot in his stomach, would it annoy him if I stalked him again?” Tess Baker asked hesitantly.
“When someone doesn’t love you, you’re called a stalker for pestering them, if they love you, you’re called infatuated.” Linda Mark chucked a chicken wing and nibbled on it a few times, “When you came back six months ago, Master Carter pestered you, and what happened? You’re with him again!”
With the stone weighing on Tess Baker’s heart gone, she put on disposable gloves and picked up the roasted pig’s trotters, which she found much tastier than usual.
The two girlfriends talked all afternoon until Bowen Carter came over at six-thirty when Linda Mark left with a bad smile.
“In a bad mood?” Tess Baker asked cautiously when she saw him looking bad.
Bowen Carter sat back in his chair, rubbed his brow, and coldly spat out two words, “No.”
The whereabouts of her student card before the accident and her ID card, that private investigator didn’t find out, and he couldn’t ask for useful information from her adoptive father, who left in the morning to deal with the matter.
He didn’t want to talk about it, and Tess Baker didn’t follow up with a question, but smiled and said, “Thanks for the special lunch, I enjoyed it.”
She bit down hard on the word deliberate.
“If you want to thank me, thank the baby in your belly.” Bowen Carter moved with a stiff, slightly unnatural expression. He’d instructed the nurse to keep her mouth shut!
“Oh, and, at THE Carter family’s old mansion, thank you for the change of clothes and the toiletries.” Tess Baker’s face remained unchanged, and she hooked her lips as she continued to say thank you.
Bowen Carter averted his face unnaturally, his voice cool, “If it weren’t for the baby in your belly, do you think I’d give a damn?”
Just as he said it he regretted it, his saying so was tantamount to admitting that he had prepared those things.
I had guessed it, but hearing him admit it in person put Tess Baker in a good mood, “Well, then thank you for being so kind and caring about our children.”
Bowen Carter frowned without making a sound, his ears a little red at the base.
“Sizzle-” Tess Baker suddenly sucked in a backwards breath, holding her back, her expression pained to the core.
Bowen Carter’s handsome face went white and he moved quickly to his feet, grabbing her arm and asking eagerly, “What’s wrong?”
“The wound hurts a little.” Tess Baker’s face was scrunched up in a frown, but with her full attention on his heart, she clearly saw the worry in his eyes.
Turns out, like Wind Carter and Linda and the others said, Bowen Carter really does still care about her.
“Lie down and don’t move!” Sweat beaded on the tip of Bowen Carter’s nose as he barked a stern warning and lifted her shirt.
The gauze looked out of place on his smooth white back, and he carefully tore it away, frowning when he saw the two centimeter long wound.
But the wound isn’t bleeding or pus, so I can’t see where it’s wrong.
“I’m going to get the doctor, stay in bed!” Bowen Carter, whose forehead was beginning to sweat, gave a very quick explanation and ran out of the hospital room.
The pained look on Tess Baker’s face disappeared, a little guilty that she was just trying to see if he really cared about her.
And … she glanced at the red button on the hospital bed, which could be pressed to call a doctor, and Bowen Carter was actually in such a hurry that she forgot even that.
“Master Carter, you … you slow down, I … I just … can’t really keep up! ”
A panting voice and a jumble of footsteps came from the doorway, and Tess Baker hurriedly held her back and made a pained face.
The door slammed open and Bowen Carter came speeding in dragging the doctor with him.
“No … I just can’t, wait … wait.” The doctor held his hands on his knees and huffed and puffed.
Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed as he yanked the doctor by the back of his collar and carried him over to Tess Baker, “Show her before you rest.”
“Master Carter, I … I just … can’t,” the doctor looked at his grim face, and the ‘no more ‘ The three words were silently swallowed back, and resignedly faced Tess Baker and examined the wound on her backside.
Bowen Carter stood by and watched as the doctor ran his hands over Tess Baker’s delicate skin, resisting the urge to carry the man away.
With him staring intently at him, the doctor, as if on cue, speeds up his examination of Tess Baker’s wound, however, “Grandma Master Carter’s wound is fine.”
There was no broken glass sludge inside the wound, and it wasn’t inflamed or anything, so it shouldn’t have hurt as a rule.
Tess Baker used to hate it when people called her Mrs. Carter or Grandma Master Carter, but now there’s something strangely satisfying about hearing people call her that.
And, as she inclined her head to look at Bowen Carter beside her, he hadn’t stopped anyone else from shouting like that, so did that mean he wasn’t that repulsed by her?
“Check again.” Bowen Carter said coldly. Maybe there was a very small piece of glass in Tess Baker’s wound that the doctor’s nearsightedness didn’t see.
The doctor spat a hundred times in his mind, he could have done a good job of examining such a simple wound with his eyes closed. But he still seriously inspected it inside and out and gave Bowen Carter the same answer.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Bowen Carter, I’m not hurting right now.” Tess Baker was a little frazzled and her voice was small.
Bowen Carter’s dark gaze went straight to her, half silent.
Had he caught her lying? Tess Baker’s eyes averted, wondering if he would be angry if he knew she had lied.
“Schedule her for a full body checkup.” Bowen Carter didn’t know anything about medicine, but Tess Baker felt pain from the wound, and the test results had nothing to do with the wound, so it was better to get a full body checkup.
The doctor immediately responded, he also felt it was good to do a full body checkup, this kind of big shot would be in big trouble if something happened to him in his hands!
“No, I’m not in pain anymore.” Tess Baker refused in a hurry, it was too much trouble to do a full body checkup, I’m afraid it couldn’t be done in a day.
No matter how much she pushed back, though, it was no use, and Bowen Carter couldn’t argue with the doctor preparing her for a full body checkup.
