Coral said okay then turned off the lights, and soon the lighting in the room dimmed.
Coral sat on a chair beside, “You go ahead and sleep. Call me if you don’t feel well. I’ll be here watching you.””
“I’m fine, Coral. You go take a rest.”
They got this floor to themselves. The room next door could be used for resting.
Coral didn’t feel comfortable for Loredana to be alone, “No, you just sleep, don’t worry about me. I’ll take a nap on the sofa when I’m sleepy.”
Coral was doing that out of concern and Loredana knew that she did it for her own good, so she didn’t say anything more and closed her eyes to sleep.
She wasn’t sleepy actually. She had already slept for a little while during the day, so she had little sleepiness. But then probably because she had been lying down for quite some time, she fell asleep unconsciously.
By the time Cormac came back, it was already close to twelve o’clock. The room was dark, and he turned on the light next to the door. Coral slept light, so she woke up when she heard the movement. She stood up, “You’re back?”
Cormac gave out a light humph and walked straight to the bedside. Loredana was sleeping deeply and didn’t wake up.
He unbuttoned his collar, his gaze was looking at Loredana, but his words were asking Coral, “How does she feel today?”
“She vomited badly and didn’t eat much. The doctor gave a nutritional drip and also set up a meal plan. She was feeling better at night, more or less ate a little and didn’t vomit.” Coral said.
Cormac nodded. He reached out to caress her cheek, a goose-egg like small face, white and delicate. Perhaps she was tickled by Cormac’s touch, Loredana moved a little and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She then slowly opened her eyes, and in a haze, she saw Cormac standing by the bed. She moved her body wanting to sit up, and Cormac wrapped his arm around her to help her and stuffed a pillow behind her, then softly asked, “Did I wake you?”
Loredana shook her head, “I’m a little thirsty.”
Cormac gently placed her against the bedhead, “I’ll get some water for you.”
He walked to the table and his gaze inadvertently fell onto the flowers placed on the windowsill. He glanced at them and handed the water to Loredana, “Who sent you the flowers?”
He was just asking casually. Sean was the only one that came over today. No one else besides him.
It was just that why there were roses…
Loredana’s movement of drinking water froze. Before she had time to say anything, Coral spoke up first, “It was from a gentleman in a wheelchair who had sent it over specially. It was quite thoughtful of him.” Coral didn’t know about the relationship between Charles and Loredana, so she had no qualms when speaking about it.
Loredana held onto the cup and looked at Cormac.
Cormac lowered his eyes, the tone of his voice unknown, “He came today?”
Loredana told the truth. Even if she wanted to cover it up, she couldn’t anyways, “Yes.”
Cormac had always been very mindful of Charles. Loredana knew he would definitely be upset, and wanted to explain, but then found herself unable to say anything. After all, there wasn’t anything that happened between her and Charles that was unspeakable.
Loredana clutched the cup.
“Want more?” Cormac asked while looking at the cup in her hand.
Loredana nodded and said, “All good.”
He took the cup and placed it on the table, Coral stood beside and didn’t dare to say anything. She realized that the atmosphere wasn’t feeling right, but she didn’t know what went wrong.
“Go and take a rest, Coral.”
Coral looked at Loredana, who nodded to her, and only then did she turn around and left the room.
The door of the room closed, and the room was quiet instantly.
Loredana looked at him, “Are you angry?”
Cormac didn’t answer her question, “Do you like these flowers?”
‘What was on her mind for her to put up the flowers?’
He pulled out a rose and looked at it carefully. Cormac’s face clearly looked gentle, but Loredana was feeling anxious inside when looking at him.
She hadn’t done anything wrong to him, so why should he be angry?
Loredana deliberately said, “There isn’t a woman who doesn’t like flowers, I also like it. I saw that they looked beautiful, so I asked Coral to put it up.” Cormac was speechless.
He looked at Loredana with raised eyebrows, was he angry?
“You like them?”
“Yes!”
Bang! Cormac threw the flowers that were on the windowsill into the trash.
Loredana was speechless.
‘This guy…’
“You…”
“I’ll send you one if you like it.” Cormac walked over and hugged her, then said with a warm voice, “Sleep with me for a while.”
As they were closer, Loredana only then saw the weariness under his eyes. She moved inward a little, clearing out a spot for him to sleep. Cormac held her sideways, his broad palm was caressing her back, slowly and softly…
Loredana looked at him, “Did it come at the wrong time?”
With her being pregnant at this time would definitely add pressure to him.
This matter was already very tricky.
Cormac abruptly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on her, “What did you say?”
Loredana said in a croaked voice, “It’s not the right time to get pregnant…”
“What nonsense is that?” Loredana’s words were interrupted before she could finish. Cormac lowered his head and kissed her mouth, then bit her lips as if it was a way of punishing her. Loredana sucked in cold air in pain. He was still on her lips, and said with a muffled voice, “Still dare to talk nonsense?”
Her lips were clearly in pain from the bite, but her heart was feeling warm. Loredana wrapped her arms around his head, and Cormac’s face was buried in her chest.
“I was also surprised myself. I thought that I really couldn’t have child anymore, and when I knew, I was so happy. Are you happy?” Loredana’s voice trembled a little as she spoke.
For her, this was an accident.
An accident that she hadn’t expected.
But then, it was such a beautiful accident.
Cormac didn’t answer her. He took her hand and put it on his heart instead, his fingers pressing on her hand, “It still hasn’t been calm until now.”
