Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 1010

Lisa couldn't help but shiver. It seemed she had arrived too early, and it was probably best to leave now rather than interrupt the intimate moment inside the ward.

She didn't want to hear any more, so she quickly turned around. In her haste, her leg accidentally bumped into a nearby bench. The pain was real, and the noise she made was loud enough to alert me and Brandon.

His face grew even more flustered at my teasing. Seeing him like this and hearing the commotion outside, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

My laughter, however, caused the wound on my lower body to hurt, and I let out a pained cry. He instantly tensed up. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Lisa, startled by my cry, quickly ran in. "What happened?"

I grasped Brandon's arm tightly, trying to explain my pain. "I laughed too hard and pulled my stitches."

She shot me a disapproving glare. "You're a mother now, yet you're behaving like a kid. Don't you know your limits?"

She was making a double entendre, and both of us understood. We exchanged a glance, and both of us couldn't help but giggle.

Brandon, aware that Lisa had overheard our conversation earlier, felt awkward. However, he was still more concerned about me. He asked Lisa, "Is she okay like this? Do you think she should get checked?"

"Let me take a look," she said. She reached for a pair of disposable gloves from a nearby medical supply shelf.

This time, Brandon didn't leave, but Lisa reminded him. "Mr. Howell, shouldn't you step aside for a moment?"

He looked at me, concern etched on his face, but I felt embarrassed and suggested, "Go pour out the water. I feel perfectly fine, so I don't think I need to get checked."

"We should still check," Brandon said before leaving with the items I had cleaned.
