Chapter 242
My eyelasher futtered lightly as I took a silent deep breath. “It’s different.”
Deciding to divorce doesn’t mean tiranted something bad to happen to him.
Ryen sat on the bed, reaching out his long arm to pull me closer, looking up at me.” How is & differen?”
His intense gaze left me flustered. “It’s different in every way. If anyone got injured today, I would show concern.”
“Anyone?” He casually repeated the question, his tone turning cold and harsh. “If it were Jack in trouble today, would you rush over just as quickly?”
“Yes “I didn’t hesitate to respond, as if to prove something, I added, “Maybe even faster
Jack was a very dear friend to me
When a good friend was hurt, no one would remain indifferent.
The softness in Ryan’s eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a piercing gaze. “Would you also shamelessly stare at his upper body like you did just now?”
It dawned on me then. He had just finished changing bandages and hadn’t put on his shirt yet. Apart from the gauze on his chest, there was nothing covering him.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, muscles clearly defined. They were all exposed.
Earlier, my mind had been on his injuries, and I hadn’t noticed.
I felt a flush creeping up my face but retorted defiantly, “Yes, is there a problem?”
“Yes, there is.” He stubbornly pulled me closer and said unreasonably, “I won’t allow you to look at other men like that, especially Jack.”
“Why not?*
“Because I am still your husband.” Ryan said each word distinctly, seeing my displeased expression soften, he softened his tone just right. “Help me put on my shirt, okay?”
I didn’t refuse. I picked up the shirt from the hospital bed and said softly, “Listen to the doctor’s advice and take care of yourself
He caught the implication in my words, disappointment flickering in his eyes Are you leaving now
Knowing he meant in e–threatening danger was enough.
A glance was ressig
There was no need to linger together, adding unnecessary complications
I bent down, temporarily removed the gauze hanging around his neck, and felt a sight stiffness at his unusual body temperature
He hade fever
But with doctors and nurses around, it wasn’t my concen
As if I hadn’t noticed, I carefully helped him put on his shirt buttoning it up slowly then straightened up. “Alright, I’ll go now.
He lowered his head slightly, like a child throwing a tantrum, jaw clenched tight in silence.
