Malcolm immediately looked serious, "Are you not feeling well? Then we'll go to a hospital tomorrow and have a full body checkup?"
Lyra refused, "Forget it. Last time when I bit you, we went to Dr. Jimmy for a checkup. He said I was healthy, nothing serious. Emotional irritability is caused by poor sleep during pregnancy. And I was thinking and worrying too much. I guess if we're going for another checkup, the results are no difference. Maybe I am overly concerned."
Malcolm was uneasy.
"It is better to go and check again. Even if there is only a minor problem in the preliminary period, the follow-up can easily become a hidden problem."
"Really, there is no need. Jimmy is an elite doctor after all. He can't even find out what the cause of the disease is. Other hospitals are even less likely to find out, so why waste time and energy."
She gently rubbed the injury on Malcolm's hip, "I'll contact the hotel bellhop and have them help me buy a swelling cream to send over. I'll apply it on you then."
"Don't do this. This hotel is owned by Nil Grey. If you ask them to buy the swelling cream, Nil Grey will get the news. Won't all know that I got beaten up?"
When Lyra thought about it, she thought it made sense.
"Then you lie still. I go out and get it for you myself?"
She turned to get out of bed when Malcolm grabbed her waist and wouldn't let her go.
"I'm a big man from the army. Not that delicate. This small injury will be healed in two days. If you really feel sorry for me, cancel the flight tomorrow morning, as originally planned to accompany me to go shopping in the largest shopping mall of Atria, OK?"
Lyra didn't say anything.
Malcolm continued to lobby, "Tomorrow, after shopping, we will buy a ticket back to Crana together the day after tomorrow. If you are worried about the babies, you can talk to Anthony on the video before bedtime, and see the babies every day."
With him circling her waist, Lyra looked down at him and asked curiously, "You're not jealous anymore? Who was just upset like that because I had a video call with Anthony?"
Malcolm wrapped his arm around her tighter, with a stance that no one was allowed to take her away, "As long as you go shopping with me tomorrow and wear the little dress I like, anything is fine."
Lyra was amused and stroked his face.
"Good, then we'll go shopping tomorrow. What little dress do you want to buy?"
Malcolm looked mysterious, leaned close to her ear and whispered.
She was baffled, "When did I promise you to go to such a store and buy dresses for erotic purposes?"
"You promised me last night. You can't cheat." Malcolm stared at her glumly, feeling not too happy.
Lyra adamantly denied it, "Where's the proof?"
He was wrong. He should have known that he should have recorded a sound last night.
Now where could he get the evidence?
Malcolm grunted softly as he felt suffocated and he nuzzled her arms in sorrow.
Lyra was amused by his childish and somewhat cute behavior.
Tonight she did not control her emotions and beat him. She really should make up for it. Otherwise, she would always feel a little guilty.
"Okay, I agree now. Buy a little dress you like, but we agree to wait until we return home and see Spencer and Momo safe in person before we can consider having sex in the little dress, okay?"
Malcolm understood, "Yes, it's up to you."
Lyra lifted his chin and gently kissed him on the lips as a small reward, "Good boy. Sleep early tonight then."
He didn't move, "My butt hurts. I can't walk. I want you to help me take a bath, OK?"
Lyra hesitated and compromised, "Okay."
Malcolm was content to be helped up by her and limped to the bathroom, acting out the pain to the fullest.
"Honey, tomorrow I'll buy two movie tickets. Let's go see a movie together and eat Atriaian Food. How about that?"
"OK."
Getting the affirmative answer, Malcolm's thin lips curved up and he leaned lazily on her shoulder.
