SWNOVELS Chapter 59 Delude Herself
"Do you any sense of responsibility as a husband? Show your utmost care when she is pregnant." Kennedy turned a black face by a string of queries. He tightly clenched his hands on the panel. Nathan nosed out the depressing feeling from him. He replied before Kennedy lost his temper, "Sorry about that, doctor. Mr. Kennedy hurt his legs. We sent her in as soon as we find out the problem. How's she now?"
The doctor felt much better after releasing his rage, but turned towards Kennedy with an unpleasant expression, "She's out of danger now. But she still needs to stay a couple of days for observation." "Are you saying that... her baby is safe as well?" Nathan asked gingerly.
"How could you talk like that?" The doctor questioned in a fury, "You don't want the baby?"
"Of course not! It's good that the baby is safe and sound." Nathan made a great apology. He was not good with words.
The doctor flung his hand away and left. Nathan turned to Kennedy grumpily, "If that bastard was gone, you don't have to work on it by yourself."
Kennedy twisted his brows and questioned in a fierce voice, "Are you serious?"
His word was greeted by a dismayed silence.
Nathan was in a great shock. It was Kennedy who called the baby "bastard", he also wanted to get rid of him. How could he...?
Anyway, he needed to get used to it. Kennedy changed a lot after his marriage with Charlotte.
Nathan released his mind at the thought.
The smell of disinfectant filled the ward in silence. Charlotte was dressed in a clean uniform. She was lying quietly on the hospital bed, her face pale and weak, as if she had been seriously ill. Kennedy sat in his wheelchair near the bed, and his soft eyes fixed on her.
"When will she wake up?" He asked abruptly.
"I've checked with the doctor. She should be awake tonight."
Kennedy looked away, "Let's go back now."
Nathan was surprised by his words, "Are we not waiting here?"
"Ask Nanny Chan to come over."
Nathan quickly caught on and nodded, "I will ask her to prepare some food as well. Miss Wilson could have them once she wakes up."
The hospital was silent at night. The patients had fallen asleep with the company of their family members. Charlotte woke up slowly with her eyes in the white, next to a gentle woman. "You are awake, Missus."
By hearing the title, Charlotte quickly recovered from her dead mind. Nanny Chan was Kennedy's maid. Charlotte failed to straight herself up when a wave of pain hit her abdomen, and she lay back down again.
Nanny Chan stood up immediately, "Don't get up now, Missus. You are still weak and lie down for a while. Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."
She kindly passed on the water before Charlotte responded. She accepted with a wry smile. After that, Nanny Chan lifted her up with a pillow over her back. "How do you feel now?"
She asked concernedly when Charlotte gulped down the water, "Do you need to call a doctor?"
Charlotte shook her head and answered in a low voice, "Thank you. I'm fine. There's no need to get the doctor here."
It was just a little pain in her abdomen. Subconsciously, she reached out and rubbed it with gentleness.
"I made a light supper for you. Try some, Missus."
Nanny Chan got the food out from her insulation box.
Charlotte didn't eat anything today, and was starving at the moment.
"Here you are, Missus." Nanny Chan handed the congee over. Charlotte was greatly moved, "Thank you."
"You are welcome. Hurry up and eat it while it's still hot."
Kennedy showed up behind the window, and saw Charlotte was chatting with Nanny Chan. Afterwards, Nathan was asked to pull up in puzzlement, "What can I do for you, Mr. Kennedy?" "Let's leave here." Kennedy commanded with a bleak voice.
Nathan was even more confused, "But we just arrived and... Charlotte was awake. We should go in and check."
"Do you understand what I say?" Kennedy choked down his anger with twisted brows.
"Really? I thought we come here to visit Miss Wilson." Nathan had no words. It was a perfect timing to go in, but why did he want to leave now?
Nathan didn't quite understand what exactly Kennedy was thinking, but after he asserted his thoughts, the aura on Kennedy's body suddenly dropped. He realized that something was wrong, "Okay then."
By the time he walked towards the outside, Nanny Chan opened the door, "Here you come, Mr. Kennedy."
Charlotte clearly heard what she said.
She was panic by his presence. She almost forgot that Kennedy was the one who sent her to the hospital.
"Are you coming in, Mr. Kennedy? Missus is awake."
Kennedy was silent.
Charlotte left in qualm with a bowl in her hand. Kennedy didn't come in. Maybe he didn't want to see her. Charlotte slowed down and looked out of the door.
At the same time, Kennedy replied with a frosty voice.
"No."
Charlotte was filled with a sense of loss and dropped her eyes.
"Let's leave here!"
Nathan wheeled him along, with Nanny Chan standing there in puzzlement. She was at a loss. Mr. Kennedy was supposed to visit Missus with no doubts. Why he didn't go in? Charlotte must know about his presence as well, but he left directly after her greeting.
Were they in an argument? Nanny Chan said to herself. Then she went back with a bottle of water in her hand.
"Did you and Mr. Kennedy...?"
"Had he left already?" Charlotte interrupted her.
Nanny Chan was distressed by the upset look on Charlotte's face. She tried to offer a few comforting words, "He left in a hurry. There must be something happened. I'm sure he cares about you." Charlotte smiled bitterly. Really? She might just delude herself.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
