Chapter 1280 He Wants To Be A Good Father
Johanna pulled the blanket hard, but Zephyr held on tight, refusing to let go.
Zephyr lowered his gaze to look at her. After a few seconds, he let go of her hand, stood up, and walked out of the hospital room. Outside the room, there were two bodyguards dressed in suits.
Upon seeing Zephyr emerge, their bodies immediately straightened up.
“Mr. Juksford.”
Zephyr instructed, “Go to the Chanaean Cuisine restaurant and get some food, then buy a set of silk bed sheets and pillowcases.”
Although it was a private room, the bed sheets and covers were provided by the hospital, carrying the smell of disinfectant and not of great quality. He was worried that Johanna might not sleep comfortably.
“All right,” one of them responded.
Additionally, the other bodyguard handed a pair of clean pearl earrings back to Zephyr and asked, “Mr. Juksford, how should we deal with that person?”
They knew about Zephyr's ruthless methods and also knew how to deal with people they caught.
However, as usual, I still have to ask.
Zephyr thought of the scar on Johanna's left ear and his eyes turned cold with fury. He wished he could personally throw the scoundrel who had stolen her earring to the dogs.
In the past, he would kill without hesitation and fear no one, but now he has grown somewhat weary of the bloodshed.
Zephyr lowered his gaze to his right hand. Last night, after Johanna had fallen asleep, he had secretly lifted her nightgown and placed this hand on her swollen belly.
He just wanted to touch her belly and feel it for a moment.
Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, something gently bumped into his palm, as if scratching him. It turned out that the little one hadn't fallen asleep yet. She knew her dad had arrived and excitedly greeted him.
The little one's response completely melted Zephyr's heart, and he began to eagerly anticipate her arrival.
The subordinate noticed that Zephyr was taking a long time to respond, which made him a bit puzzled. In the past, whenever they reported something, Zephyr would immediately give a response. What was going on now?
“Mr. Juksford?” the subordinate couldn't help but ask, “Do we just kill the person and throw them into the sea?”
After a moment of silence, Zephyr slowly said, “Get a medical examination report from the hospital and hand it over to the police along with the person involved. Let them properly handle this robbery case.”
He didn't want his hands stained with blood again; he wanted to be a good father.
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, seemingly puzzled by their boss's sudden gentleness. However, they didn't ask any questions and left the hospital to attend to their respective tasks.
An hour later, a bodyguard returned carrying a variety of large and small bags.
Zephyr gently placed Johanna on the couch and opened the various takeout containers. There was spaghetti bolognese, burgers, apple pie, and more. All of these dishes were bought by the bodyguards from the nearby famous Chanaean cuisine restaurant.
After walking around the shop for so long and spending so much time at the hospital, Johanna was indeed quite hungry. She started eating without any hesitation.
She couldn't rush; there would always be another chance to escape.
Zephyr walked over to the hospital bed and removed the standard-issue bedsheet and pillowcase provided by the hospital. He then replaced them with the silk bedding set that he had asked his bodyguard to purchase.
Johanna glanced back at the man making the bed and sneered inwardly.
After Zephyr had made the bed and washed his hands, Johanna was almost full from eating. She stood up from the couch.
“I need to go for a walk.”
Zephyr gently coaxed, “Your ears are injured, you should rest more.”
“My ears have been treated with medicine, and they don't hurt anymore,” Johanna said gently, without arguing with him. “I ate a lot and want to go for a walk to help digest the food. Is that okay?”
Even if she was just pretending, the moment her moist eyes met Zephyr's gaze, his heart softened.
After leaving the hospital room, the two of them walked side by side at a leisurely pace.
Zephyr was tall, and when he lowered his head, he could see the side profile of the woman beside him. A few strands of hair hung by her ears, and due to the weight of her pregnant belly, she would occasionally feel aches in her waist and support it with her hand.
Zephyr moved closer to Johanna and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Lean on my arm, it will make walking more comfortable for you.”
“No need.” Johanna pushed his arm away.
Zephyr's hand remained on her waist, holding half of her body close to him. “The tiles in the hallway are quite slippery. Weren't you very worried about the child? Are you not afraid now?”
