Chapter 1529
When Love Comes Late
Colin felt terrible seeing her like this.
He gritted his teeth, trying to stay quiet, but still reached out to wipe the sweat from Flossieâs forehead.
Seeing this, the doctor commented with a smile, âYour husband is really thoughtful.
â
Flossie was in so much pain she couldnât hear the doctorâs instructions.
When Colin heard âhusband,â he frowned slightly.
He didnât speak, just said, âThatâs my duty.
â
Twenty minutes later, the doctor finished stitching.
âKeep her arm dry for a few days,â he advised Colin.
âAnd no spicy food or alcohol.
Come back in ten days for a check-up.
â
Colin gave a small nod.
After the doctor left, he leaned down, concern etched on his face.
âHow are you feeling? Still in pain?â
Flossie shook her head weakly.
âIâm okay.
Just need some rest.
â
Looking down, she noticed the bite marks on Colinâs arm and felt a wave of embarrassment and guilt.
âIâm so sorry.
I lost control and was rude earlier.
Do your injuries need attention?â Flossie asked.
Colin shrugged, casually rolling down his sleeve.
âDonât worry about it.
If it werenât for today, you wouldnât be hurt.
Iâm glad I could share the pain.
â
Flossie nodded.
Someone in his position, she thought, would be indifferent.
But the kindness heâd shown so far surprised her.
She was deeply moved.
Flossie was about to rest when the memory of her pregnancy hit.
She turned to Colin.
âColinâ¦â
âSomething wrong? Speak up.
Iâll help if I can.
â Colin raised his gaze
.
Flossie pursed her lips, then spoke carefully.
âAbout the pregnancyâ¦
Can you keep it a secret?â
Colin paused, then considering her job, agreed.
âAlright.
But the doctor said your pregnancy is unstable.
He advised you get more rest and avoid high-intensity shows.
If something happens, it could be dangerous for you and the baby.
â
Flossie lowered her head, a reluctant reply escaping her lips.
âI understand.
â
As she spoke, the door to the room swung open.
Stella and Miley burst in, worry etched on their faces.
Miley immediately spotted the bandage on Flossieâs arm.
Her voice choked with emotion.
âAfter all your hard work for a comeback, why did this happen? Why did you have to suffer?â
Flossie furrowed her brow.
The runway incident replayed in her mind.
Everything happened so fast, but she knew it wasnât an accident.
