The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 482

The Grand Regency.

At the sound of the doorbell, Mrs. Gable rushed to open it.

Sebastian strode inside. Seeing Zach kneeling by the playmat amusing Alora, he demanded, "How is she?"

Zach glared at him, standing up with a scowl. "You have the nerve to ask? Do you have any idea what you did to her?"

Sebastian didn't immediately grasp the implication. His deep eyes were fraught with poorly concealed anxiety. "What exactly is wrong with her?"

"You were far too rough. She's torn, severely inflamed, and fighting a high fever from a bacterial infection."

Mrs. Gable froze in her tracks, her cheeks instantly burning. Was this something she should be hearing?

She stole a glance at the tall, impeccably dressed man before her. She had never expected the aloof, untouchable Mr. St. John to be so utterly wild behind closed doors.

She quickly walked to the mat, scooped up Alora, and retreated to the nursery.

A fleeting trace of embarrassment crossed Sebastian's eyes, but he masked it flawlessly. "How is she doing now?"

"I knew something was off, so I called in a female gynecologist I trust. She's in the bedroom treating her right now."

Sebastian glanced toward Riley's room, suppressing the knot of worry in his chest, and sat down on the sofa.

Zach sat next to him. "Look, man, I'm not trying to lecture you, but you were an absolute beast. You wrecked the poor woman. You seriously need to learn some restraint."

Guilt flickered in Sebastian's eyes. "I was drugged."

"That drug acts slowly. With your usual discipline, it shouldn't have spiraled out of control like that."

His darkest, longest-suppressed desires had been unleashed all at once, and he had completely lost his composure.

When it came to Riley, his discipline was virtually non-existent.
