My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 176

"And after you eat it, you'd better stay at home and rest, not going anywhere, especially on any long trips."

Xanthea emphasized the words "long trips" to gauge his reaction. "Got it? I'll be keeping an eye on you these days, so don't even think about skipping town!"

Orion’s eyes, which had just dimmed, suddenly sparkled again at her words. "You'll be coming over these days?"

"Yes, your illness is because of me, uh, no, that's not right. I misunderstood you before, and I feel guilty about it, so I want to make it up to you, if that's okay?"

"That's fine, I'll wait for you."

A ripple of a smile crossed Orion's lips as he took his medicine with water.

Xanthea was stunned to see him so readily give up his international trip. She had thought him, a CEO known for his decisive and unyielding nature, would never entertain her unreasonable request. Yet, here he was, agreeing so easily.

Such a good boy~

Watching him obediently take his medicine, Xanthea had her eyes narrowed slightly with affection. She was tempted to stroke his hair and see if it was as soft and gentle as his demeanor now suggested.

"This medication might make you sleepy; you should head to your room and get some sleep early."

"Okay."

Orion stood up, about to fetch the remote to unlock the parental controls for her, when he saw her heading straight for the bedroom, grasping the doorknob.

"What are you waiting for? Come on in~"

She stood at the door, warmly inviting him into the bedroom.

"You..."

"I'm going to keep you company while you sleep."

"What?"

Orion’s eyes nearly snapped shut, with a flicker of intense emotion visible in his pupils.
