Chapter 147 Everything You Want, I'll Give You
As soon as Scarlett started to speak, Daniel cut her off with a deep voice.
"No buts! Don't overthink things, put away any thoughts you shouldn't have! Just focus on having the baby, and we'll raise him together..."
Raise the baby together.
Hearing Daniel's words, Scarlett's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She had always wanted a family, a warm family of three.
Just like what he said, raising the baby together.
Her heart stirred slightly. While she was still in a daze, Daniel's kiss fell upon her again.
His tongue was nimble, not allowing her to retreat. It boldly passed through her lips with a clear goal, sucking and nibbling on her tongue, teasing and drawing out her sweet taste.
His voice was low and husky, coaxing her, "Scarlett, be good. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
His words sounded like burning sweet nothings.
She wanted his love—would he give her that too?
Scarlett's hand resting on his waist accidentally touched the thick bandage there, and her heart softened.
She tilted her head back, and from passively receiving, she unconsciously raised her hand to wrap around Daniel's neck, actively leaning in and kissing him back.
"When did you learn to kiss like this? I really like it."
Daniel seemed very satisfied with her response, and also seemed pleased by her.
He said in a hoarse voice.
Scarlett's face turned red with embarrassment as she pushed him.
But his large palm was burning hot, as if on fire, eagerly moving around.
Just as his fingers nimbly worked on the clasp of her bra behind her back, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.
"Dr. Runyon, please come in..."
It was Tom's voice. He had obviously brought Dr. Milan Runyon in to check on Daniel's condition.
Tom's voice came to an abrupt halt when he saw the messy, intimate scene on the hospital bed.
Daniel on the bed shot them a look as cold and sharp as a blade.
At the same time, Daniel quickly withdrew his hand, pulling down Scarlett's sweater to cover her soft, slender waist.
With one hand pressing the back of her head, he pushed her face into his chest.
"Get out!"
Tom's hand trembled. Suddenly coming to his senses, he immediately closed his eyes and forcefully shut the door again.
Before the door closed, Tom's flustered voice could be heard.
"Dr. Runyon, maybe you should wait. The Boss is, uh, a bit busy right now."
Scarlett buried herself in Daniel's arms, feeling like she could die of embarrassment.
Milan and the others must have seen it too. They must think she was so desperate that she'd get this intimate with Daniel who had just been moved from the ICU to a regular room.
She was so startled that her body went weak, leaning into Daniel's embrace.
Daniel tugged at her reddened ear, "Embarrassed?"
"It's all your fault!"
Scarlett looked up from his arms with embarrassed annoyance, glaring at him reproachfully.
She scrambled to get off the bed to open the door for Tom and the others.
But Daniel tightened his arm around her lower back, saying in a hoarse voice.
"Wait..."
Scarlett said irritably, "Wait for what? If we wait any longer, I won't be able to face anyone!"
Making those people wait outside the door made her even more embarrassed.
However, Daniel held onto her waist and wouldn't let go, saying hoarsely, "If you open the door now, we'll be even more embarrassed."
As Daniel spoke, his large hand gripped Scarlett's waist and pulled her forward a bit.
Scarlett's face flushed red as she looked down. She froze on top of Daniel, not daring to move, biting her lip.
"You're injured, how can you still..."
"The injury isn't to my dick." Daniel answered matter-of-factly.
With her sitting on him, crying and making a fuss, it would be a bigger problem if his dick didn't react.
Scarlett was speechless. She frantically grabbed the blanket and pressed it down on Daniel's thigh.
"You, hurry up."
She turned her head away, urging him to quickly calm his desire, not daring to make eye contact with him at all.
Daniel looked at her shy and annoyed expression, cleared his throat, and said, "You don't need to open the door. Go to the bathroom and fix yourself up."
With her in front of him, his desire probably wouldn't subside anytime soon.
Scarlett felt relieved and quickly jumped off the bed and ran into the bathroom.
She stood in front of the sink, turned on the faucet, and casually glanced at herself in the mirror.
She saw that her hair was messy, her face was flushed, and both her eyes and lips were red and swollen, with a seductive look.
She hadn't realized she looked like this. Thinking about how when the door was opened earlier, Daniel's first reaction was to press her face into his chest.
Scarlett's cheeks immediately turned red again. No wonder he said she didn't need to open the door and told her to come to the bathroom to fix herself up.
Scarlett splashed cold water on her face, and the heat gradually subsided.
She also thought about how Daniel wasn't like this before. He had been quite cold when it came to sex. In their two years of marriage, they hadn't made love many times.
Seeing him like this now, Scarlett felt embarrassed but also couldn't help feeling a bit happy and sweet.
She heard voices talking outside—Tom and the others must have come in.
Scarlett was still worried about Daniel's injury. Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door and walked out.
"The wound is healing well. Fortunately, the knife grazed past the edge of the organs. But the wound almost went all the way through, so Mr. Wilson still needs to rest in bed more to prevent the wound from tearing again or getting infected."
Milan looked at Scarlett as he finished speaking, and Scarlett tried to stay calm but couldn't help blushing again.
She felt like Milan was warning her.
"Also, Mr. Wilson lost a lot of blood. Family members need to take good care of him too—eat more nutritious meals that help with blood production. Oh, and the angiography results should be out by now. I'll take a look after we get them. If there's no problem, then there's nothing to worry about."
Scarlett was full of embarrassment. Hearing this, she immediately said.
"I'll go get them."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the room with hurried steps. Her flustered figure made Daniel's thin lips curve slightly as he said to the doctor.
"Thank you, Dr. Runyon."
After Milan left, the gentle expression on Daniel's handsome face instantly vanished, and the atmosphere in the room plummeted.
Tom stood there, his scalp tingling.
"So, tell me what you did."
Tom felt like crying. He honestly confessed, "Boss, I really didn't do much. When I went to notify Mrs. Wilson, I wanted to make her feel sorry for you, so I exaggerated a bit. I also showed Mrs. Wilson the video from when you had the accident. That's really all."
Daniel's eyes gradually grew cold. He knew it—Tom must have done something to scare Scarlett like that.
Earlier, when Daniel caught her in his arms outside the ICU, she had almost fainted.
"Who told you to be so clever? Why don't you just show off that what's sitting on your neck is a tumor?"
Tom's face turned pale from the scolding.
Daniel had only instructed Tom to inform Scarlett about the stabbing, and hadn't even said to have Scarlett come to the hospital.
It was Tom who took it upon himself to exaggerate and show Scarlett the video.
But he was just trying to make up for his mistakes and help Scarlett and Daniel reconcile sooner, wasn't he?
How come after all his good intentions, no one was even praising him?
