In the middle of the night, Heidy woke up because of pain. She had been put on a drip, but the pain didn't disappear completely. The period was the most painful time for Heidy.
With great difficulty, Heidy uncovered the quilt. As soon as her legs touched the ground, she was suddenly weak and fell down heavily. Feeling distressed, Heidy couldn't help crying out. Soon enough, she heard footsteps. Then, she saw Hearst come in.
Pressing against her arms, Hearst asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
Slowly, Heidy raised her head and said in a soft voice, "Not bad. My legs were just a little soft."
Without speaking anything, Hearst immediately lifted her up and gently put her on the bed. Feeling her cold body, Hearst took off his coat and put it on her. Holding her hands, he asked her in a serious tone, "Why are you so cold?"
As he spoke, Hearst held her hands and rubbed them hard to warm her. Heidy quietly raised her head and looked at the cold man in front of her. Her heart beat faster. With his hard work, his palm finally warmed up.
"Why are you up?" Asked Hearst, looking at her.
With a blush on her face, Heidy said unnaturally, "I have to go to the bathroom and change the sanitary pad."
Getting her point, Hearst bent over and carried her in his arms towards the bathroom. Lying in his arms, Heidy was a little distracted.
After putting her down on the toilet, he said to her calmly, "do you need my help?"
Before he finished, Heidy felt her ears turn hot. Shaking her hands hard, Heidy said hastily, "no, no, I can do it myself."
Said Hearst shortly. He turned around and walked out of the bathroom, considerately closing the door behind him. Looking at his back, Heidy sighed softly. Three minutes later, when she opened the door, she was surprised to see Hearst waiting there.
Seeing that he was about to pick her up again, Heidy reached out her hand to stop him and said, "Mr. Tan, I'm not that fragile. I'm much better now. It's just a piece of cake. I can walk on my own. " Then Heidy pushed him away and walked away.
Hearst didn't stop her. He just walked beside her and put his hands on her waist to protect her from falling down. Heidy sat down on the bedside and looked up. "Please go back to your room, Mr. Tan. I'm fine now. I've taken up too much of your time tonight. "
Hearst pulled back the quilt, and looked at her, replied, "I won't give up halfway. Since I've decided to take care of you, I won't leave halfway. " As he spoke, he pressed her on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
Staring at him, she opened her mouth but said nothing. "Thank you." Heidy thanked him and closed her eyes.
Then Hearst put the hot water bag on her belly, and turned around to go back to his study.
Hearing the footsteps receding, Heidy quietly opened her eyes. Looking at the direction he left, she lowered her eyes slowly and hid all her emotions secretly.
In the study, Hearst was rubbing his temples wearily. She then continued to shift her attention on work and made preparation for tomorrow's work. These were his jobs, and he was willing to take care of her.
The morning sunshine fell on the bed as scheduled. Heidy slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the environment in front of her, Heidy was a little distracted. Feeling the hot water bag on her belly still hot, Heidy's eyes surprised.
She took down the hot water bag and put it in her hand. In a haze, Heidy watched Hearst take the thermos bag for her. Thinking of last night, Heidy was touched. She sat up slowly and rested for a few seconds. Then Heidy got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
In the washroom, before entering her room, she saw someone in the study out of the corner of her eye. Opening her eyes slightly, Heidy felt a thud in her heart. On the sofa in the living room, she saw Hearst lying there with his eyes closed and his arms crossed in front of his chest, sound asleep.
Heidy found that Hearst was very quiet in sleep. Hearst's face softened and his eyebrows became less cold. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if to shut the door. Heidy couldn't help thinking of the phone call yesterday.
That one with the nickname of "my baby" must be his wife? A man of the age of twenty-nine, with a handsome face, every move of his was full of charm, it was impossible for him to be single. She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about him.
"Heidy, don't think too much. You are just cooperating with Mr. Tan. To him, you are nothing but a tool of birth. Or she was just a poor kitten. It's just his poor charity that occasionally expressed his concern. " Heidy reminded herself in a low voice.
The failure in marriage made him lose confidence in love and marriage. Moreover, no matter how deep their relationship was, Hearst was still Jack's uncle. Thus, Heidy was forbidden to have any relationship with Hearst.
