Chapter 38 – His Second Chance Love: The Freezing Silence

I knew he was angry and did not want to stay in the hospital any longer. I glanced at him. “Anthony, let’s go home, okay?”

He gave me a cold hard look. I sighed and explained, “Last night, I did not have dinner, and I’m famished now.” Pointing to my belly, I gave him a pitiful look, “The baby needs to eat too.”

At first, I expected him to ignore me. However, I did not expect him to stand up and even suggest, “What are you craving? I’ll buy it for you!”

Stunned, I cheekily smiled. I supported myself up and tugged on his clothes to reply, “I want to eat pork, grilled fish and also the noodles that you always cook !”

In fact, I wanted to trick him so that I could go home. It was unbearable to stay in the hospital for too long.

Studying my expression, he reluctantly agreed. “I’ll settle the discharge papers now.”

Then, he sternly chided, “In the meantime, you should lie down!”

Seeing him exit the ward, I looked at the IV drip. There was not much left, so I pressed the bell for the nurse. She came in and took it out.

“Is there any more medicine for me?” I could not wait to go home.

The nurse replied, “There is no more. Mrs. Featherstone, you should lie down and rest.”

It took me by surprise. How did she know I was Mrs. Featherstone?

The nurse packed the medicine bottle and looked at me with some envy. “Mrs. Featherstone, your husband is very good to you. When you were sent to the operating room earlier, Mr. Featherstone did not leave and looked very worried. Although he is an adult, he seemed like a helpless child waiting outside the operating room.”

I was puzzled, and my mind was buzzing. Anthony was worried for me? Or was he worried about our child?

“A penny for your thoughts?” A low voice sounded beside my ear. I looked up and realized that the nurse was not there anymore.

Instead, Anthony came in at some point in time and had a stack of documents in one hand and a bunch of medicine in the other.

“What are those?” I lowered my head and looked at the medicine bag. In response, he stretched out his hand and helped me up.

He carried me out of the hospital, but I quickly tried to get down. “Anthony, let go of me. I can walk by myself.”

It was so awkward!

“If you want to go home, then you should listen to me and stop moving!”

That was how I got carried out from the hospital. I was embarrassed.

After he put me down in the car, he took the driver seat. Taking a look at me, he moved closer to me.

It took me by surprise as I thought he was going to kiss me.

Instinctively, I shrank back and stammered, “Anthony, there are people outside…”

Far from what I imagined, he took the seatbelt from the other side and strapped me in. He smirked at me with his eyes gleaming. “What were you thinking?”

I…misunderstood the situation!

I did not expect him to be reaching for my seatbelt.

I forced a smile before turning my head to look outside the window.

Unexpectedly, I felt a warm touch on my fingertips, and the warmth started spreading through my body. Surprised, I look down to see Anthony holding my fingertips with one hand while driving with another.

Sensing my gaze, he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it. “Apart from pork, grilled fish and noodles, is there anything else you want to eat?”

My heart raced. It was rare to share such warm and peaceful moments with him. As my face started to flush, I could only think about the warmth that lingered on my fingertips after he kissed them.

I retracted my hand and voiced out, “I can eat anything!” Any food would sound good to me at this point.

His deep laughter sounded through the car. Anyone could tell that Anthony was in a good mood today.

When we arrived back at the villa, Anthony opened the door and helped me out of the car before I could even open the door for myself.

“I can walk on my own!” I was not that delicate that I had to be carried in and out of the car.

“Come here!” He demanded. Domineeringly, he picked me up and headed into the villa.

He placed me on the sofa in the living room, then took out the medicine he brought back from the hospital. After taking a closer look at the bottles, he divided them and handed me a few black pills. He ordered, “Eat them!”

Unwilling to eat them, I frowned.

In response to my reaction, he went to the kitchen and emerged with a white…rock candy.

“After you take your medicine, you can eat this, and it would not be bitter anymore.”

I…

Of course…sometimes men can be dumb. These pills weren’t even that bitter, so why would I have to eat it with rock candy?

Taking the black pills in his hands, I plopped them into my mouth. After I gulped the water to swallow them, I returned to the bedroom.

If I stayed with Anthony any longer, I was worried that I would be clingy towards him.

At first, I tossed and turned when I was in bed. Yet, I unknowingly fell asleep.

Perhaps because I slept like a dead log, I did not realize that Anthony joined me in bed.

The next day, I only woke up when it was way past noon.

Opening my eyes, I saw Anthony’s handsome face before me. He was so close that I could see the pores on his face. I had to admit that he had flawless skin.

His facial features were sharp and attractive, exuding confidence. I could not help but reach my hand towards his face and gently caressed his stubble.

He probably slept late last night and had been going back and forth for business trips recently. Therefore, he was still suffering from jet lag and fell into a deep sleep.

I played with it for a while before my stomach rumbled. Since he was not awake, I wriggled in bed and wanted to get up to look for food. Unexpectedly, he lifted his leg and pressed me down.

Maybe he thought of something and moved his leg.

“Anthony!” I complained and tried to shift his leg away.

His eyes fluttered open, and in a daze, he looked at me with sleepy eyes. “You’re awake already?”

I nodded and tried to wriggle out of the blanket. However, his long arms stretched out and encircled me. With a mesmerizing expression on his handsome face, he looked at me with a slight smile. “Don’t move.”

I…

Although I usually seemed indifferent, but…

“I’m hungry!” I whined with a slightly flushed face.

He gave a short acknowledgment with his hoarse voice and pulled me closer to him.

I…

“Anthony, you really are a pervert!” I scorned.
