Chapter 181 Spare Me
Harper pressed her lips together and said, "I'm afraid I'll dirty your ears if I tell you, so I'd rather not."
Annie blinked and smiled, "Harper, you guys didn't have sex in the car, did you?"
Harper's expression froze. "Stop talking nonsense."
"Nonsense? If not, why won't you tell me?"
"You'll be out sleeping on the porch tonight if you keep talking nonsense!"
"Harper, are you shy? Do you want to destroy me as the most direct witness?"
Harper glanced at Annie, not wanting to explain anything more because it wouldn't help. She just said calmly, "I just wanted to tell you not to influence my baby." Annie shut up about it then.
The two of them ate casually at home for dinner. But Annie woke up hungry in the middle of the night. Because Harper was pregnant, Annie didn't ask Harper to get up and cook for her. And she didn't know how to cook herself, so she had to order takeout.
She had thought it was a normal thing to eat takeout and go to bed, but she didn't expect her to be in the hospital with gastroenteritis before dawn.
Looking at her face pale from the pain and unable to straighten her back, Harper said with helplessness, "That's what happens when a person eats food in secret. So don't you ever do anything like that again." Annie said bitterly, "Stop blaming me. For the sake of the price I've paid, spare me."
Despite what Harper said, she took good care of Annie. There were no available beds in the emergency area of the hospital, so she had to sit with Annie on a chair in the corridor to get an infusion. They waited until the following day to get hospitalized. After sending Annie back to her ward to rest, Harper went to the doctor to prescribe the medication to give to Annie later.
She went to pay the bill after prescribing the medication, yawning with a sleepy face because she was a bit tired after staying up all night, not even noticing that a man and a woman were walking towards her. "Harper, why are you at the hospital? Are you sick somewhere?" Lauren's gentle voice rang out slowly.
At that moment, Harper saw Benjamin and Lauren a few steps away from her. Benjamin was
wearing black suit and a casualet
men's trench coat, and his
เอนเอ
handsome face under his short hair was a little more elegant than his usual nobility and coldness.
And Lauren, beside Benjamin, smiled at her.
Harper narrowed her eyes slightly, not intending to respond to Lauren's words but simply meeting Benjamin's eyes.
Benjamin asked, "What's going on? Are you sick?"
"Not me, it's Annie who isn't feeling too well." She just glanced at them before saying, "I'm heading off to pay the bill and get the medicine." With that, she was ready to leave, but Benjamin suddenly held her hand.
Harper frowned, "Benjamin, is something wrong?"
Benjamin clearly sensed her
detachment and coldness, so he
frowned, slightly and was a little
displeased. But his voice still carried a gentle tone. "I'll have Curtis
accompany you."
"No, I can do it myself."
"Harper!" he frowned, and his tone was very unpleasant.
Harper pressed her lips together and said, "It really isn't necessary. She's fine now, only the doctor wants to hospitalize her for a day of observation."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
After saying that, she simply broke away from his grip on her wrist and then went to queue up at the payment office under his watchful eye.
Her stubbornness caused Benjamin's brow to furrow and coldness to spread across his handsome face.
Lauren noticed his expression and whispered, "Benjamin, is Harper mad at you for me?"
Benjamin didn't say anything but had a slightly terrible expression.
Lauren added, "Benjamin, why don't you go check on Harper? I'm fine
won't be here until later
anyway. I'll go back to the ward to be with my mom."
