Chapter 100
Aidan Lucas stood beside the hospital bed, watching the unconscious little woman.
Lily Gray’s delicate face was as pale as paper. Her usually flirtatious and enchanting eyes were tightly closed, looking lifeless and fragile, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.
Seeing her like this, he experienced the feeling of being afraid to lose her for the first time ever.
He couldn’t help but reach out, his hand gently touching her brow, moving down along her eyebrow, passing over her cute little raised nose tip, and finally resting on her soft cherry lips.
His rough thumb tenderly rubbed them, but soon he realized his own impropriety.
Agitated, he quickly pulled his hand back, Aidan looked at the woman on the bed with a complex expression.
He suddenly couldn’t understand his own heart.
But even if he couldn’t understand it, his body had unconsciously started treating her well before he even realized it.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, his mind was filled with images of her, just moments before she fainted, crying endless tears in his arms.
She was so delicate, so tiny… yet she had lost so much blood.
Aidan’s breathing grew heavier, and his long, powerful fingers unconsciously clenched her little hand hanging by her side.
He leaned over, pressing her small palm between both of his and resting it against his forehead.
“Lily Gray… nothing will happen to you… I won’t allow it.”
His deep and hoarse voice lingered, accompanied by the sounds of medical instruments, refusing to disperse.
On the hospital bed, Lily Gray’s eyelids trembled slightly.

Unsure of how long she had slept, Lily Gray woke up again, the unbearable pain in her lower abdomen completely gone.
The moment she opened her eyes, she thought she was hallucinating.
It wasn’t until she blinked a few times and confirmed it several times that she was sure she wasn’t seeing things.
As she opened her eyes, a tired, beautiful face slowly enlarged in front of her.
Looking at the man sleeping beside her bed, Lily Gray couldn’t help but murmur after a two-second pause, “Aidan Lucas, why is he sleeping here?”
It seemed that the man was awakened by her quiet whisper. He furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.
Lily Gray watched as Aidan’s eyebrows creased, watched as his eyes opened, and watched as he shot her a glare.
She suddenly remembered what Mr. Mckinley had told her. Aidan was “adorable in the morning” when he woke up naturally, but when his sleep was disturbed, he had “morning grumpiness.”
It was clear that she had accidentally awakened Aidan with that icy, sharp glare just now.
“Um… I didn’t mean it. I didn’t expect you to be sleeping here,” Lily Gray tried to explain naturally, but Aidan didn’t even listen to her words.
When he realized that Lily Gray had woken up, he naturally leaned closer to her.
Avoiding the wound on her forehead, he placed his warm hand against her forehead. Deeming his palm insufficient to gauge her temperature, he pressed his own forehead against hers.
The sudden closeness of the male body made Lily Gray feel her heartbeat skip a beat. Not daring to move, she could only obediently lie in bed and let him do as he pleased.
It wasn’t until he suddenly left that she relaxed.
However, he returned within thirty seconds.
“I’ll have the house send some porridge for you. You can’t eat greasy food just after waking up,” he said as he gently held her hand.
“You had a fever last night, but it’s gone now. You haven’t eaten in almost two days, so eat something to fill your stomach first, and then 1’11 have the doctor give you a comprehensive check-up.”
Aidan was usually not bad to her, but such a gentle and appeasing manner was rare.
Lily Gray was caught off guard by his pampering, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
The sight of her looking so dumbfounded, like a pitiful little creature, made Aidan want to tease her even more.
Seeing her like this, he reached out and hooked her small chin.
“Lily Gray…”
“Hm?” She looked up, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised, carrying a hint of confusion.
Aidan’s voice lowered another half octave, “What should 1 do? I suddenly… want to love you.”
