CEO’s Romantic Affair

When Keith picked Cathryn up, his temperature quickly elevated. Making Cathryn feel a little less painful. Looking up at Keith, she found that his perfect facial lines were tight, and his footsteps were hurried, revealing the tension in his heart.

Holding her belly, Cathryn was vigorously sweating. Keith could tell that she was in great pain. She buried her head in Keith’s arms, she felt his strong and powerful heartbeat, and then she suddenly grabbed Keith’s shirt.

She cried out in pain and said, “Ouch! The strawberries… The strawberries are poisonous!”

Keith’s tense nerves suddenly relaxed when he heard Cathryn’s words. He looked down at Cathryn, she was still in persistent pain. She was trying to make a joke. It warmed his heart.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Cathryn was willing to joke with him. Did that not mean that she was beginning to accept him? Keith wondered.

After they got downstairs, Keith opened the door, placed Cathryn on the passenger’s seat, and helped her fasten her seat belt. Their chests were close to each other, and the breath of Keith rushed into Cathryn’s face. Making Cathryn’s knees feel weak, she almost forgot about how much pain she was in.

“Your car must be costly, is it?” asked Cathryn.

Keith didn’t expect that Cathryn, who had always been shy, was so fond of making jokes.

He reached out his hand to touch her hair and said, “Very expensive, so it will get you to the hospital much faster.”

Cathryn felt less pain in her stomach as Keith gestured surprisingly, making her relax. She took a deep breath, and her heart settled.

After they arrived at the emergency room, Keith asked Jeremy to call the gynecologist in the hospital and tell him that Cathryn was pregnant.

Then after making a diagnosis and treatment, the specialist finally determined that Cathryn merely had enteritis. Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine. It is most commonly caused by something you ate or something you drank.

“It was the strawberries!” Cathryn thought to herself. Considering that Cathryn was pregnant, Keith would make her stay hospitalized for several days. After spending more than an hour in the hospital, Cathryn was finally settled down.

Keith went home to bring some clothes and daily necessities for Cathryn. He also cooked some vegetable soup for her. So Cathryn felt a pleasant feeling of happiness when Keith walked into the ward with so many things because no one but her parents and Grace had taken care of her.

Therefore, the sense of winning approval for Keith rose in her heart again. This was the first time Cathryn was happy that Keith was the father of her child.

She stayed in a private room, which was spacious and well equipped. Apart from the sickbed, there was a separate single room to allow relatives to rest. The pain in her abdomen had been relieved, and Cathryn’s body was no longer in pain, but her face was still pale, and her golden hair scattered behind her. She looked as though she was very weak.

“Are you hungry?” Keith asked, putting his laptop on the desk beside the bed and reaching out his hand to rub Cathryn’s hair.

Instead of dodging his movements, Cathryn grinned and watched him open the thermos, and the aroma of vegetable soup immediately drifted through the air. It made her hunger bloat in her belly.

“Yes,” Cathryn admitted honestly.

The gynecologist said that her enteritis had nothing to do with eating strawberries and that it was purely accidental. The nurse, who had come into the ward, told her that the current treatment would not affect the fetus. So after hearing this, she was relieved.

Pulling up the small dining table to the sickbed, Keith placed the vegetable soup on it. He watched Cathryn staring at the vegetable soup, and he handed her the spoon.

He wanted nothing more than to comfort her, “You need to have a light diet for the next few days, and when you get better, I will bring you some delicious food.”

“Well, thank you,” said Cathryn, taking over the spoon and beginning to eat the soup. The vegetable soup was so delicious that it made Cathryn laugh unconsciously.

After drinking half of the vegetable soup, Cathryn didn’t dare to eat anymore. Taking over the tissue from Keith’s hand, she handed the thermos and spoon to him. After tidying up the room, Keith took a book and gave it to Cathryn.

“You can read this book when you are bored,” said Keith. Taking the book, Cathryn watched Keith sit down, open the laptop and begin to read a document. She watched him as he was sitting there, how handsome he was.

“You… You can go home to rest. I will be fine, I can take care of myself.” Cathryn said.

Keith tended to be careful around Cathryn, and Cathryn was very grateful for it. There was an indescribable joy in her heart. Cathryn thought that when a man took care of a woman, he looked more handsome than he was when he was working hard. Keith still had to work after all, and she didn’t want to delay Keith’s work because of her.

Knowing what Cathryn was worried about, Keith turned around and looked at Cathryn tenderly and said, “It doesn’t matter. I can do my work as long as I have a laptop.”

His eyes were so tender that Cathryn’s face blushed instantly when she looked into his eyes.

Cathryn hastily looked away and quickly opened the book in her hand. Stroking her abdomen, she carefully glanced at Keith and whispered, “Wow, sweetheart, your father is a programmer, how great he is!”

Her voice was very light, like a layer of cotton covering a cloud, soft and delicate.

Hearing her words, Keith felt a little moved, he looked up at Cathryn while she was avoiding his eyes. Reaching out his hand to hold Cathryn’s hand, Keith softly stroked her stomach as Cathryn did.

“Wow, sweetheart, your mother is a superstar, how great she is!” Keith said, his voice being deep and clear. The sound of his voice always made people feel calm. Keith’s fingers were slender and long. They could wrap up Cathryn’s hand entirely. The temperature of his palm passed through her fingers to her belly, and Cathryn had the illusion that the child was clapping inside her stomach.

The fetus was only two weeks old, so Cathryn thought she must be crazy. Cathryn turned her head around, no longer looking at Keith’s eyes, hastily covered herself with the quilt, and fell asleep. In the sickbed, Cathryn’s breathing gradually became steady. Looking up at Cathryn, Keith smiled faintly and then lowered his head and went on reading the document that Jeremy had sent him.
