Chapter 312
“Mr. Sullivan, Cynthia, you’re here.” Gerald greeted them warmly.
Liam nodded slightly in acknowledgment, while Cynthia followed them into the ward where one of the doctors briefed her. “The patient’s fever spiked to about 104 degrees Fahrenheit early this morning. We we tried everything to bring it down, but nothing has worked.” Cynthia listened. intently and then examined Anthony herself. She concluded that the fever was a postoperative reaction, the operations had been too close together. which was likely causing his severe symptoms.
-The most crucial task now
now is to lower his fever as soon as we can” As she spoke, Cynthia opened a box she had brought along, revealing an array of needles of various thicknesses, She sterilized one of the needles and swiftly inserted it into several of Anthony’s pressure points. Gerald, not wanting to interfere, quietly ushered the other doctors nut of the room. Gerald was afraid to disturbi Cynthia, so he secretly took several doctors
Inside, Cynthia focused intently, enduring her own discomfort as she applied the powerful yet invasive needling technique to lower Anthony’s fever. Despite its effectiveness, she knew it could be somewhat harmful due to its aggressive nature. She continuously monitored Anthony’s condition through pulse diagnosis. After 30 minutes, Anthony’s temperature began in decrease. Only then did Cynthia allow herself to relax slightly
When she exited the ward, her face was pale, likely from the intense concentration and prolonged standing. At that moment, her discomfort was evident, particularly in her lower abdomen. Liam immediately sow her distress and quickly enveloped her in his arms, asking with concern, “How are you feeling”
Cynthia managed a weak smile and reassured him with a pod. Then, turning to Gerald and William, she reported, His temperature has stabilized Please keep a close watch on him.”
“Cynthia, thank you for your efforts. Please, go home and rest, Gerald responded, his concern evident.
William’s expression softened as he expressed his gratitude, “Ms. Larson, thank you for all your hard work.”
Upon hearing William’s response, Cynthia retorted sharply. “No need to thank me.
me when it’s coming from you”
William’s expression darkened, but he suppressed his frustration. Meanwhile, Cynthia’s discomfort was palpable, and she leaned heavily against Lian. Sensing her pain, Liam lifted her in his arms without hesitation. After bidding farewell to Gerald, they promptly exited the hospital. William, feeling slighted, thumped his walking stick on the ground in frustration
As they descended to the car park, Cynthia nestled against Liam’s chest, comforted by his heartbear, and a slight smile graced her lips. “It feels nice to be cherished like this, she thought. They reached their car, and Liam gently placed Cynthia in the passenger seat, placing a warm water bottle on her abdomen for comfort before walking around to the driver’s side. Just as he was about to start the car, Cynthia sheepishly mentioned, “Honey, I need to use the restroom. Liam exited the car with a patient smile and opened her door. But this time, Cynthia hesitated, not moving to get out. and stammered. “I–I think I miglu have… had an accident in the car
After she spoke, Cynthia’s cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She couldn’t understand why this particular menstrual cycle was not only painful but also unusually heavy. She hadn’t had the chance to change her pad since they left home. Just as she sat down carlier, Cynthia felt a sudden rush of fluid and then noticed her pants were slightly damp. It might have been a leak. What made matters worse, she had forgotten to bring extra Sanitary pads in her hurry to leave. Liam didn’t seem bothered by the fact that she had stained the car seat. He thought for a brief moment, then took off his jacket and gestured, “Come on down. I’ll wrap this around you”
Cynthia hesitated. “But I haven’t been able to change my pad.”
Liam then pulled a pink sanitary pad from his pocket, presenting it with a flourish as if it were a precious gem. “Look what I have here”
“Y–You…” Cynthia stammered, utterly astonished. “I can’t believe you thought to bring i

Since there was no restroom in the basement parking, they made their way back to the ground floor. This time, worried about staining Liam’s clothes, Cynthia opted not to let him carry her. As Cynthia entered the restroom, Liam waited outside. Towering at nearly 6 feet 3 inches, with broad shoulders tapering to narrow hips, he stood out. Some of the women passing by couldn’t help but stare at him. However, each gaze seemed to darken Lianí’s expression even inore.
His cold demeanor deterred mosi, but one boldly confident woman, swaying her ample hips, approached him. “Hey, Handsome. Are you waiting for somer?” she flirted.
Lam gave her a frosty glance and his frown deepened, his disgust apparent. “Are you blind?” he retorted.
The woman paused, taken aback, then forced a sweet smile. “Oli, you’re hilarious!

“Fuck off,” Liam snapped irritably.
Shocked by his brusqueness, the woman had never encountered someone so dismissive. Puzzled by his indifference, she retreated, thinking, Hmph, maybe he’s impotent!
The woman had boasted to her friend that she’d be able to charm Liam. Upon suffering a defeat, she could only preserve her in

“Yeah, now I’m wondering if he’s a top or a bottom, the woman replied as they spoke disparagingly about Liam inside the restroo
Meanwhile, Cynthia, having fixed her pants in a stall, overheard them, her curiouty piqued. She stepped out of the bathroom and glanced around, only to see Liam waiting for her. She realized then that they were talking about her husband. A mix of amusement and irritation washed over her. She was amused by the misunderstanding but irritated that she hadn’t responded to the women’s comments. She thought, “Why on earth would they think he’s gay! Don’t they have any sense? However, she couldn’t help but wonder what reaction Liam would have after knowing he’d been misconstrued as playing for the team
Seeing Cynthia’s curious eyes, he came forward to meet her and led her toward the lift. “What’s the matter?” he asked.
I just overheard some women in the restroom saying you’re gay, she told him directly.
Pausing, Liam turned to look at her.
