After roaring to himself, Dr. Goodwin frowned and began studying the mania gene, his facial expressions changing repeatedly.
Could it be because Seraphina Redgrave being captured has stimulated Ethan Sterling? Leading to Ethan Sterling experiencing delusions.
Just hoping that this delusion is temporary and won’t happen again.
...
Seraphina Redgrave returned from the little stream she was at earlier, stepping through the slightly heavy door and walking straight to the main building.
The sunset was behind the building, casting a golden glow as if gilding the structure.
Seraphina felt a gaze fall upon her face.
Looking up, she saw Ethan Sterling standing in front of the main building. He had already changed into gray loungewear, making his pale complexion even more pronounced.
The V-neck revealed his sexy chest lines, which would have been quite pleasing if not for the bruises.
A gentle breeze blew, causing Ethan Sterling’s hair to flutter.
Seeing him here, Seraphina was sowhat surprised.
Clearly, Ethan Sterling’s body hadn’t fully recovered; standing outside in this temperature for too long made his breathing slightly labored. He waved at her, the white bandage on his index finger particularly noticeable, "Seraphina, co here."
This sentence was not as forceful as before, but it carried a lingering tenderness.
"Why are you standing outside?"
Seraphina moved forward, and as she reached Ethan, his arms wrapped her powerfully.
Before she felt any shoulder pain, Ethan groaned but didn’t let go of her.
The force in his hands increased, as if wanting to fuse her into his being.
Ethan’s deep voice sounded in her ear, "I got this hurt because of you, and you run around outside, do you not care about anymore?"
If he wasn’t in this state, Seraphina would have already gone to the south with Hector Shaw.
She secretly thought about it, but said instead, "I just felt a bit stuffy inside, so I ca out to get so fresh air. Look at you, injured like this and still running outside, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Is it worrying that he’s recovering too fast?
"It’s because of you; when I wake up, I couldn’t find you anywhere." Ethan turned his head, awkwardly said this, and seeing Seraphina not speaking, he kissed her cheek then led her inside.
Seraphina chuckled softly, "Ethan, you’re like a little child, looking for an adult as soon as you wake up."
Ethan glanced at her sideways, his eyes still mischievous, but his face pale.
Seraphina noticed him frequently pressing his chest, feeling concerned, "How do you feel?"
"Pain." Ethan looked into her eyes, seriously complaining, "It almost kills ."
"..."
Seraphina, a bit helpless, escorted him back to the room.
Originally studying the case in the room, Dr. Goodwin quickly stood up and bowed towards them.
Ethan motioned for him to leave, and upon receiving the signal, Dr. Goodwin imdiately packed his files, planning to leave. Seraphina, helpless, quickly stopped him, "Dr. Goodwin, the dication isn’t finished yet."
How can he leave?
Where’s the basic professionalism?
"..."
Dr. Goodwin instinctively touched his nose, which had been under Ethan’s large hand earlier, looking a bit unnaturally at Ethan.
He didn’t seem as impatient as before; under Seraphina’s gaze, he obediently lay on the bed. As soon as he lay down, he placed both hands on his chest, tightly gripping his clothes, frowning with a face full of pain.
"Can you prescribe him so painkillers?"
Seraphina felt distressed seeing him like this and asked Dr. Goodwin.
"..."
Dr. Goodwin was speechless; he really wanted to tell Seraphina that Ethan’s pain tolerance was extraordinary. Just now, he even had the strength to choke him; if it had been a mont later, he might not have survived.
But with Ethan here, Dr. Goodwin didn’t dare to say a word; he still wanted to live for decades.
So Dr. Goodwin nodded and said, "I’ll prescribe him so painkillers."
"Okay."
Seraphina knew what extre pain felt like; during that drug tornt, she wished to take painkillers like candy, but couldn’t get a single one.
After re-inserting the needle and starting the infusion for Ethan, Dr. Goodwin quietly left.
Seraphina patted the empty spot beside her and said to him, "Co lie down with for a while."
Seraphina did not refuse, taking off her shoes, getting on the bed, and lying beside him obediently, her head resting on his arm, staring quietly at the ceiling light.
A lot happened today.
In the morning, she thought she was going to die, but now, she lay in his arms.
"I saw your tears."
The man’s magnetic voice suddenly penetrated her ear.
"Hmm?" She hadn’t reacted for a mont.
"Today at The Directorate, I saw you cried when you found my nail was broken." Ethan placed his head above Seraphina’s, letting out a low laugh, "I originally thought, only if I die, you will shed tears."
"But with you like this today, how is it any different from being dead?" Her tone hid deep concern, as she had never t anyone braver than Ethan, "How did you co up with the idea of smuggling back?"
He truly dared it, wasn’t he afraid he’d die before her?
"If such a price could save you, I think it’s worth it," Ethan said.
"You’re a lunatic."
She said.
"Yes, I admitted that long ago."
Ethan hugged her closer, but carefully avoided her shoulder wound, rubbed his chin against her hair, then lowered his head, his thin lips near her ear, his voice slightly hoarse, "Do you love this lunatic?"
He directly asked.
His voice seed electric, traveling through her limbs and making half of her body go numb.
Seraphina’s mind hadn’t figured out how to answer when Ethan’s cool lips wrapped around her earlobe, his breathing at her ear growing heavier, filled with lust.
"..."
Now, the other side of Seraphina’s body was also going numb. She tried to push Ethan away with her last bit of strength, but he noticed and pressed her down, "Don’t move, I’m injured all over."
"..."
Seraphina, indeed startled by his words, paused her previous actions.
Such obedience nearly drove Ethan mad; he gently kissed that skin, the ambiguous atmosphere gradually spreading.
Ethan’s breath sprayed over Seraphina, nearly making her lose all reason.
"Answer ." Ethan kissed her lips, his tone dominant, "If you don’t speak, I’ll just do it with you."
Seraphina was helpless; this person always spoke so frankly...
