Devil President's Night Bride novel Chapter 11

"Amanda, wake up. It's your favorite food, the steamed egg custard." A gentle voice said to Amanda. It was so familiar and she searched in her mind carefully. Finally, she found it was her mother's voice in her sealed memory.

In the sunshine, her mom wore a floral apron, standing beside her bed with a smile. Although they had servants at home, her mom still liked to cook breakfast for the whole family. The steamed egg custard she made was Amanda's favorite.

Amanda slowly opened her eyes and saw the dazzling white light.

Sitting on the bedside and seeing her wake up, Lionel asked softly, "How do you feel?"

Amanda tried to move her body but only felt like all bones would break into pieces. Lionel said in a hurry, "You just lost a baby. You're still very weak."

A baby? Suddenly, the sharp pain in her belly and the blood under her body came to Amanda's mind. Was that the pain of losing her baby?

"The doctor said it had been a month. Was it Darren's?" Lionel asked.

One month. Was it their wedding night? Although Amanda had never expected the existence of the baby, it was a part of her body after all.

With tears in her eyes, she just blinked without saying anything. Lionel didn't go on asking, but said, "I'll call Darren to pick you up."

"No, don't tell him." Amanda said in a hurry, "Don't let him know."

Lionel glanced at Amanda suspiciously. Amanda lowered her head and said, "We have a contractual marriage. The child was an accident. I don't want to get involved in this accident, so please don't say anything about it, okay?"

"Are you going to hide it from him?" Lionel asked.

Amanda nodded. She was just tired. After taking the medicine, she stood up and was about to go home. Seeing her weak body, Lionel picked up his coat and draped it over her and said, "Let me send you home."

"No need, I'm fine." Amanda had already wasted a lot of Lionel's time, so she felt sorry.

"You can't go back by yourself now since you are so weak." Lionel lifted Amanda in his arms. Amanda widened her eyes in surprise. It was the third time that he had carried her in his arms like this. First time, he had carried her out of the studio; the second time, he had carried her out of Cheng family who abused her; the third time, he had carried her out of the hospital bed. Why was it always Lionel who had helped her when accident happened each time.

Feeling sore in her eyes, Amanda said in a low voice, "Mr. Lionel, you don't have to be so kind to me. It's my own business."

"I just know that you need to show respect to your subordinate. Don't overthink it. I would do the same if it was someone else in the company." Answered Lionel straightforwardly.

"Mr. Lionel, thank you." Amanda said.

"Your thanks is too simple. When you get better, you can help Secretary Lin with work. I invited you to work. Her work will be double as long as you're sick." Lionel added.

Amanda nodded immediately, feeling warm inside. She promised seriously, "I will, Mr. Lionel."
