Since the age of ten, Claudia hadn't been coddled this way. Even though Jace often fussed over her, he never touched her head.

Her face turned an even deeper shade of red. She nodded compliantly, watching Bennett head for the registration desk.

The hospital was rather quiet in the evening, and Bennett soon returned to sit beside her.

The woman across from Claudia had been staring at her, Likely puzzled by Claudia's appearance in the emergency room with such a rosy complexion.

Feeling self-conscious, Claudia looked at Bennett with pleading eyes.

“May I rest on your shoulder?”

Bennett grinned in response. "You were quite brave hugging me, weren't you?"

Embarrassed, she shut her eyes and leaned against his shoulder, feigning sleep.

Perhaps due to her appearing somewhat vulnerable, the woman across from her eventually averted her gaze. Instead, her attention shifted to Bennett.

Such an attractive man deserved a second look!

But still, what was that lady's problem?

Why was she staring at someone else's husband?

Claudia wasn't happy about this at all!

She tightened her Lips and tugged at Bennett's hand. "What's the time?" He glanced down at her, showing his watch. "Half past ten."

“It's late."

Bennett thought she sounded despondent.

“You'll be seen soon.”

“Will you have a meeting tomorrow morning?" Claudia inquired, her head sliding from his shoulder to his chest.

Bennett rushed her to the hospital while still in his pajamas. She now had a clear view of his chest muscles.

She didn't wish to move, instead, shamelessly resting against his chest.

She was relishing the view, and at the same time, she was also part of the scenery in the eyes of others

Bennett Looked at Claudia leaning against his black pajamas, her rosy complexion resembling a peach blossom against the dark background.

Watching her fluttering eyelashes, he clenched his fists to control himself, saying, "I can reschedule."

His words made Claudia feel guilty.
