Rosalynn and Brian followed closely behind.
When they reached the bed, Sanford was still unconscious, his face pale Both Rosalynn and Brian shared a look of regret.
Rosalynn sat beside Sanford, gently placing her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse before moving down to feel his legs.
Brianâs eyes tracked her movements, his worry growing.
His brow furrowed as he grabbed her hand.
âHoney, what are you doing?â
âIâm evaluating his condition,â Rosalynn said.
Brian tried to find the right words, his voice hesitant.
âMaybe we should get a specialist to treat Sanford?â
Rosalynnâs expression turned serious.
âHoney, donât you have faith in my medical skills?â
âItâs not that,â Brian said, his voice softening.
âFirst, youâre pregnant, and Iâm concerned that treating Sanford might be too much for you right now.
Second, I think itâs best to have a professional handle this, donât you agree?â
Rosalynn looked at him with determination.
âFirst of all, even though Iâm pregnant, performing acupuncture isnât too much for me.
Furthermore, I learned acupuncture from my grandfather and have gained significant experience in the practice.
You need to trust me.â
Brian nodded, though his unease remained.
He did trust her skills.
But watching her tend to another man this way made him uncomfortable.
Rosalynn observed Brianâs furrowed brow and uneasy expression.
Her eyes narrowed as she asked, âBrian, are you feeling jealous of your friend?â

Brian felt exposed under Rosalynnâs discerning gaze, a_ flicker of awkwardness passing through his eyes, yet he chose to remain silent.
Rosalynn sensed his discomfort and couldnât help but feel a mix of irritation and amusement.
She fixed him with a more serious look.
âHoney, can you please stop being so petty? Sanford is our savior.
I just want to heal him.
If you keep this up, Iâm really going to get angry.â
Brian, taken aback by her sternness, quickly responded, âDonât get angry, please.
Remember, you are carrying our baby.â
Rosalynn shot him a pointed look.
âIf youâre so concerned about the baby, then stop acting so childish.â
âIâ¦â Brian opened his mouth to protest but, meeting Rosalynnâs clear, unwavering gaze, he finally conceded.
âYouâre right, I was being childish.
Please, continue.â
With a slight curve of her lips, Rosalynn asked, âWould you like to step outside for a bit? Avoid seeing this?â
âNo need,â Brian replied quickly.
Rosalynn nodded, her tone slightly teasing.
âFine, do as you please.
But I have to say you are so annoying.â
Brian fell silent.
Despite being labeled as annoying, he chose to stay and watch over his wife.
