CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1562

“Jamie, you need to get better. You still haven’t given me an answer.”

Sitting by her bedside, Ben held Jamie’s hand, its warmth unnaturally high. He pressed her hand to his cheek, gently rubbing against it.

Jamie woke up in the middle of the night.

This time, the throbbing in her head had lessened, though she was still groggy as she scanned her surroundings.

Her eyes landed on Ben, slumped in a chair by her bed.

He hadn’t changed his clothes or even covered himself with a blanket. The man who was always so meticulous about his appearance now sat there in a rumpled, wrinkled shirt.

Jamie stared at him for a moment, her mind blank. Before she realized it, her hand had moved, brushing against his chiseled face.

The light flutter of his lashes snapped her back to awareness. She quickly tried to pull her hand away, but it was too late. He had already caught her.

“Touching me first thing after waking up? Looks like you’re feeling better and might’ve even had a change of heart,” Ben said, his voice raspy and thick with exhaustion.

Jamie had been sick for a full day and night, and Ben had cared for her tirelessly the entire time, barely even taking a sip of water.

Thanks to his strong constitution, he could manage such exertion.

Jamie froze, caught red-handed, and awkwardly blurted out, “Let go of me. I was just worried you’d catch a cold sleeping here and end up blaming me later.”

Her words hung in the air, leaving both of them in silence.

There had been plenty of unpleasant moments between them in the past, and Ben had said his share of hurtful things. He might not have meant them, but Jamie had taken them to heart.

Perhaps, without even realizing it, Jamie had grown to care more than she thought.

“I’m sorry,” Ben said suddenly, his tone decisive. “I was wrong before. I didn’t trust you, and that’s on me.”
