Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755 How Happy That Must Be

Around seven o'clock, Beata woke up groggily with her eyes still closed, muttering about being thirsty.
Averi quickly helped her sit up and handed her a glass of water.
Beata gulped down a big mouthful before finally waking up fully.
The after-effects of the fever made every part of her body feel sore as hell.
Looking at Averi suspiciously, Beata asked, "Averi, what's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I've been run over by a car?"
"You had a fever last night," replied Averi. "Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere else? The doctor is outside. I'll call him in."
Beata wrinkled her brow in confusion since she couldn't understand how she could have gotten sick all of sudden.
Apologetically, she was stroking Beata's head gently while saying sorry for not taking better care of her earlier when she got sick at her place yesterday.
It was due to her sleeping on the sofa under an air conditioner which caused coldness herself.
"It's not your fault," protested Beata immediately upon hearing this from Averi who was pretty cute yet smart and gentle woman.
She always took care of others around her.
"Rest here for a bit longer. I'll call your brother in," added Averi, while reassuringly patting on top of her head softly as if trying comforting her.
Upon hearing this news though from Averi about having called Brother over already - it seemed like everything suddenly changed within Beata's mind as if some kind fear or anxiety gripped tightly onto her heart.
It was making her hard to breathe properly anymore, let alone think straight anymore either!
This meant that it wouldn't be so easy for her to come over and hang out at Averi's house anymore.
Beata looked at Averi with a pitiful expression and said, "Averi, you should have kept it a secret from my brother."
Averi chuckled, knowing what she was worried about.
"Don't worry," she said. "If your brother doesn't let you come over to play with the cats, I'll sneak you out."
Averi was just trying to comfort Beata with those words, but completely forgot that River was in the house and free to move around.
As luck would have it, River walked in just as Averi spoke those words.
A sneering laugh echoed behind her as River heard what she had said. Alongside that sound came Beata's timid voice saying "River."
Gone were the days of being spoiled; Beata now resembled like a scared little rabbit.
She looked pitifully at River, already bracing herself for the storm ahead.
However, what surprised Beata greatly was when she heard him say, "Miss Knight, you needn't go through all this trouble."
When River walked in earlier and heard everything they were saying, Averi had tensed up completely.
She thought maybe this time she had really signed her own death warrant by speaking so recklessly.
Now not only did he hear everything clearly but he also responded calmly?
This made Averi wonder how exactly would her short life end?
River's words caught her off guard though; making her stare at him suspiciously while trying to judge his expression - how serious he sounded or if he was just talking casually without meaning anything by it.
River met her gaze, then gave a low chuckle before saying, "This little girl will definitely find ways to come see you."
Hearing this made Beata instinctively shrink back again - realizing that whatever thoughts or feelings were going through her minds could easily be seen by her brother!
But after being scared for a moment or two, something else dawned on Beata - there seemed like there might be something happening between Averi and River after all...
She wasn't sure if she was reading too much into things or seeing things wrong ... but why did River look different when looking at Averi? It made no sense!
Beata wasn't sure if these thoughts were correct, but once again feeling brave enough, asking, "River, does that mean you won't pay attention to me anymore?"
River was only mildly amused by Beata's tone of voice, and she was about to push his luck.
He said, "Will I?"
Can't he know his sister well?
His sister was so stubborn, but if he really used a strong means, she will fight with him to the end.
Then, as her brother, he won't have much to lose.
Beata smiled and said, "River, how did you suddenly become so nice?"
River gave Beata a look. Sure enough, she became arrogant.
In fact, the reason why River did not stop Beata from getting close to Averi was actually Averi.
Last night, he saw how Averi took care of Beata meticulously.
Even though, River would think more about whether Averi did it on purpose to show him.
However, Averi's eyes were so clean and open that he couldn't find any point where he could doubt Averi.
River knew that it was very arbitrary and irrational for him to conclude that Averi had no intentions.
However, why was he not clear? He concluded that Averi had a plan.
So, after last night, River decided that he would not intervene in the affairs between Averi and Beata. Since Beata liked Averi so much, he could do as she wished.
If Averi was really brave enough to hurt Beata, he will naturally ask her to pay the price.
So, now, he will not forcefully take Beata back, nor will he put Beata under custody, making her have to cut off contact with Averi.
Beata was unaware of her brother's schemes.
She just felt very happy now.
She hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Her brother was indeed the best brother in the world.
Of course, her Averi was also the best Averi in the world.
Beata's eyeballs rolled, and the previous thoughts became more and more intense.
If she could really get what she wanted and see the result she wanted, how happy she would be.
