Chapter 48 Disturbance

“Oh my, Mr. Walker. Are you trying to seduce me with your wet body?” Victoria teased him as she bent

down to put on slippers.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Come in!”

“I brought your some medicine. Where are you hurt?” Victoria stopped smiling and asked him seriously.

“It’s not me. It’s,”

“Catherine?” Victoria asked. It was no wonder he asked her to come so urgently. After all, he was not

someone who would make such a big fuss about such small injuries.

Did she have to guess the one who was injured

was Catherine? It made it sound like he cared a lot about that wretched woman. After glaring at her

unpleasantly, Ryan shouted, “Shut up!”

After he finished his words, he ignored Victoria, who eagerly followed behind him. Immediately, he went

to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

“Come out when you are done. Victoria is here. You don’t have to put on any clothes so it’ll be easier

for her to check your wound.”

Upon hearing that, Victoria was surprised that he could say such caring words so indifferently.

However, that got her wondering why he married

Jasmine if Catherine was the one he liked.

After wiping herself dry, Catherine walked out wrapped in the bath towel. Now that she had angered

him, she couldn’t ignore his kind gestures.

Otherwise, if he got angry, he would probably threaten her with Jasmine and that wouldn’t be good.

“So, you were showering. It’s no wonder he’s wet. Did I come at the wrong time and disturbed you

two?” Seeing Catherine come out, Victoria covered her mouth and smiled.

Upon hearing that, Catherine blushed in

embarrassment and turned to Ryan with a pleading gaze.

Although Catherine was not familiar with Victoria Burns, Victoria was close to Ryan, so she naturally

treated Catherine as someone familiar and teased at them freely like that.

Just then, Catherine and Ryan looked at each other. To Victoria, their gaze at each other seemed so

loving that it would get everyone jealous.

Iiuinunu

Seeing her seemingly begging him for help, Ryan felt happy about it, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he

chided Victoria, “She’s got injured just now. Stop talking nonsense and take a look at her!”

“Sure! Sure! Yes, sir!” Holding Catherine’s hand, Ryan walked her to the bedroom while Victoria

followed behind them quietly.

After she was teased like that, Ryan was still holding her hand. This made Catherine feel

embarrassed.

What was their relationship? After all, she didn’t want Victoria thinking that they were a couple.

Besides, she was the Walkers’ personal doctor so she probably knew Jasmine too. D*mn it! Why did

she just think about this? Once the doctor left, she would have to remind Ryan to keep Victoria from

telling it to anyone.

Despite wanting to break free of his hand, he shot her a warning glare because he didn’t want to be

humiliated in front of Victoria.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that far from the bathroom to the bedroom and he let go of her when Victoria

began checking on her.

During the checkup, Victoria was incredibly serious and checked her thoroughly.

“From what I could observe, her back has some bruises. If you are still worried, she can get it scanned

at the hospital tomorrow.”

“It’s okay, there’s no need,” Catherine said anxiously.

Since Ryan trusted Victoria and she said it was fine, there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, she

had already checked her entire body and there wasn’t any pain so there shouldn’t be any internal

injuries.

“Take her pulse again. She was shocked earlier,” Ryan mentioned.

Asking her to sit up straight, Victoria checked her pulse and agreed that she suffered some shock

earlier so she prescribed some medicine for her.

“Based on her current condition, do you think it’s suitable for her to have a baby?” Ryan suddenly

asked Victoria after she prescribed the medication.

“What did you say?” Catherine shouted in disbelief while staring at Ryan.

However, Ryan ignored her and continued asking the similarly shocked Victoria, “Is it suitable?”

“Although her body is a little weaker, she can be ready for pregnancy,” Victoria answered

professionally after calming herself down.

“Then, maybe you should prescribe something to help her strengthen her body. For the time being,

come here more often. I want her to be ready for pregnancy as soon as possible.”

How could he be so good at making a decision for her on his own? Pregnancy? Who was she going to

get pregnant for? When did she promise to deliver a child for him? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
