My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2512

Shirley lifted a shirt and helped Zacharias to put it on. Given his injuries, he couldn’t manage the buttons, so she stepped in to help. Naturally, this required her to stand close to him while buttoning his shirt. As she worked, she sensed his gaze lingering on her. Seizing a moment when her attention was diverted, he lightly pressed his lips against her forehead.

“Quit fooling around,” she chided, looking annoyed. “I don’t fool around when I’m with others, but I can’t help myself when I’m with you,” he replied playfully. He seemed utterly shameless whenever he was around her.

After buttoning his shirt, she helped him put on his vest and coat. Before leaving, she brought an extra jacket in case he got cold and needed it.

By the time they left the hospital, Roy had already arranged for more than ten bodyguards to be on standby. To maintain secrecy about Zacharias’ whereabouts, all the surrounding lights were turned off as a tall, slender figure stepped out.

Shirley was about to get into Zacharias’ car when he stopped her. “You can take the car behind mine.”

“Why?” she asked.

“No reason.” He gestured for Roy to sit beside him after that. She had just shut the car door and was about to leave when Freddie spoke. “Don’t you know the reason, Miss Lloyd? Mr. Flintstone’s trying to protect you.”

Shirley’s heart skipped a beat as she understood what Freddie meant. If the criminals managed to track Zacharias and targeted his car, it would be unsafe for her to stay with him. He was genuinely trying to protect her by having her take a different vehicle. She hurried to the next car, her chest tightening, hoping nothing terrible would happen again.

Once Zacharias’ car drove out of the hospital grounds, another six cars trailed behind him. The line of cars seemed especially grand as they all made their way to his office. Eventually, they arrived safely at their destination.

She hopped out of her car and hurried over to Zacharias before entering the lobby with the rest of his bodyguards. Once they got into the building, he ordered her and a few other bodyguards to follow him while the rest of the men stayed downstairs.
