Chapter 287
Gwendolyn’s mind went blank for a moment as she clutched her phone, her breathing erratic.
Her treatment plan was a gamble, with the hospital’s state–of–the art equipment monitoring his vital signs around the clock. She had never imagined that Claude would come to at such a critical time!
“I be right there” she said, her voice trembling with the weight of her responsibility. After all, this was the first time she was in charge of a patient in such a dire state
e had even forgotten about Howard’s presence as she tumed to leave, her legs buckling beneath her.
Strong arms caught her, and a deep voice asked, “What’s going on?”
Gwendolyn looked at him, her voice filled with emotion, “Mr. Chadwick, Claude’s awake” She was eager to get to the hospital to witness the miracle, to see how much he had recovered
The specialists from every department were there, waiting for her, the lead physician.
Howard steadied her and said. “I’ll get changed, and drive you there. Take it easy, don’t push yourself too hard.”
He knew exactly how wild and d intense he had been the night before. Even now, he could see Gwendolyn’s legs shaking
She bit her lip and nodded.
Fifteen minutes later Gwendolyn sat in the passenger seat, while Howard, dapper in his sult, floored the accelerator. His face was the picture of satisfaction.
“Mr. Chadwick, I could have gone by myself. Cliff told me you have a pile of critical business to handle, and the Turner family’s order is a tough nut to crack”
“Today, you’re the prority,” he said, turning to her with a gentle gaze.
Gwendolyn’s lips curved into a small smile at his words. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Howard caught her little gesture, casually asking, “Does it still hurt? I applied some ointment last night”
Gwendolyn blushed and glared at him.
“You’ll get used to it he remarked. Once a man had a taste, stopping was hardly an option.
Gwendolyn said awkwardly, “Mr. Chadwick, it wasn’t your first time, was 17”
She hadn’t had a moment to ponder over this the previous night. Now, looking back, she realized he was quite skilled, almost
impossible to resist.
It wasn’t at all like what Sandra had described!
“Why do you ask?” Howard, in a good mood, had a trace of tendemess on his usually cool face.
“Sandra said that men are usually quick on their first time and quite inexperienced..” Gwendolyn trailed off, unable to relay the more crass details Sandra had shared.
In any case, it wasn’t like Howard at all.
Just the thought of him being intimate with someone like Selina dampened her joy.
Howard hit the brakes and pulled over Tuming to face her, a playful arch in his brow, he said, “It seems we need to have a more in–depth conversation about this.”
Gwendolyn mustered the courage to meet his gaze, “Mr. Chadwick, you haven’t really answered my question.”
He leaned closer, his hands on her shoulders, the overpowering aura of masculinity enveloping her, “Gwendolyn, I cherish the admiration and obsession in your eyes for me, and I intend to be the man who can do no wrong in your heart,” he said seriously, “in every aspect
“But..” She was about to speak, but Howard’s finger gently pressed against her lips, silencing her.
He said, “The flash drive Sandra gave was quite useful, and I’m a quick learner. My first time wouldn’t have been terrible for you. So, did you enjoy it?”
Gwendolyn’s face turned crimson. It had hurt at first, but then… she had really enjoyed it.
“Did you enjoy it? Nod or shake your head,” he pressed
Gwendolyn gave a slight nod
