The Sweetest Trophy Wife by Beanie

Chapter 112 Probing Liam’s Thoughts 

Even though Aubrey was aware of Gwyneth’s abilities, the abrupt change that happened within this short time still took her by surprise. 

Aubrey was not particularly relieved as she sat on the hospital bed and observed Ms. Clem sobbing before her. 

She peered at Gwyneth and Henry, focusing specifically on Henry’s expression. 

To put it bluntly, she had already accepted the apology and did not lack the money to cover her medical expenses. It was resolved at this point and she simply needed an explanation. 

“Take her away.” Aubrey said softly with an ethereal voice.. 

Hearing this, Henry remained silent but felt the need to clarify a few things. However, the time was not right to say them. 

After the two left, Gwyneth examined Aubrey’s wound and asked casually. “Do you blame Henry for this?” 

Aubrey was stunned to hear this. She stared at her friend and chuckled lightly, saying, “Well, your trick might work on others, but not me.” 

Gwyneth glared at Aubrey, and the two exchanged looks before laughing loudly. 

The hospital ward door reopened after a brief interval. They both turned to face the door and saw Liam standing there. 

Gwyneth asked. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” 

“I came here to check on you two.” 

Liam locked eyes on Gwyneth when he entered the room. After he greeted Aubrey, he handed a coat to Gwyneth. He said, “I brought your coat for you because it’s cold outside today.” 

Although it was nothing extraordinary, Gwyneth felt a little uncomfortable. She made mouth movements, but ultimately remained silent. 

A nurse came in to change Aubrey’s dressing as they were conversing. She was probably nervous because she was new at the job, which made her actions clumsy. The nurse’s hand unintentionally brushed against the sterile plate as she prepared to use alcohol to disinfect the cotton ball. She moved quickly, but she was on the verge of falling backward when she lost her balance. 

The nurse was quick, but Liam was faster. He quickly grabbed Gwyneth’s hand and drew her into his arms. The sudden move startled her. and she instinctively placed all of her weight on Liam. 

“Hmm Liam grunted softly, but he continued to maintain his grip on Gwyneth’s waist. 

A somewhat familiar scent assaulted her senses. Gwyneth’s cheeks flushed red, and so did her ears. She raised her hand halfway in the air, wanting to push him away but was unsure of where she should land her hands. 

Their bodies practically pressed against each other. Gwyneth’s heartbeat was audible to Liam, as was his own rapid and slightly erratic heartbeat. 

Aubrey teased, “Hey, could you two stop being lovey–dovey before a single lady? Especially, when this person is lying in a hospital bed.” 

Aubrey took an interest in the scene and found it amusing to watch from the side. It would cease to be fun if those two kept hugging each other. Moreover, the nurse was staring at them curiously. 

Liam and Gwyneth split apart as if they had been electrocuted upon hearing this. However, a strange sensation surfaced in their hearts after they let go of each other. 

Gwyneth stammered, “I need to go to the nurses station and ask them something about caregiving.” 

The look in her eyes seemed panicked. In the end, she lowered her head and looked at the floor. She was learless in other situations but lost to ambiguous emotions, especially romantic ones. 

When Liam saw that Gwyneth had fled from the scene, he smiled, and his mood was noticeably lighter. 

After watching the drama for a bit, she could not help but speak up. “Mr. Luther.” 

Liam came back to his senses. He whizzed around and regarded Aubrey with confusion. 

Aubrey went straight to the point, saying. “Speaking of which, Mr. Luther, you are aware of my relationship with Gwyneth. Do you mind 

Birds of a leather do flock together, and Aubrey and Gwyneth were similar in some ways. 

Liam chuckled as he slipped his hands into his pockets and said. “The feelings you’re talking about are…” 

“Of course, love. You are still Gwyneth’s husband, after all, aren’t you?” Aubrey teased Liam while narrowing her eyes. 

Liam was taken aback by how close these two women were. 

“I know some things are common in high society, but it’s not a good thing to discuss this in the open. Aubrey continued. 

Liam understood what Aubrey meant earlier, but her most recent statement baffled him. He asked, “What do you mean by a matter that is 

not suitable to talk about openly? You said it yourself that Gwyneth and I are married. What should I hide from…” 

Aubrey clarified, “No, no, no, Mr. Luther, you misunderstand. I’m referring to Elizabeth, Ms. Lisle.”
