Love You Can’t Say

I raised up my head to look into his eyes, from which I could see the reflection of my own, “Make you suffer?” I paused and sneered, “Yeah, you are right. Commonly speaking, you should spend your romantic hours with your true love at this moment. But Daisy called you back. It is a suffering for you.

I turned a blind eye to his horrible looking face. Then I said with hypocritical apology, “I am so sorry. I promise it won’t happen again. It’s getting late. Please return to her side. I mean the one you truly love. I gotta sleep now.”

“Clara!” he tried hard to hold back his burning anger, “You never stop insinuating, huh?”

I frowned mockingly, “Sorry, you are just being too suspicious. How dare I insinuate?”

“You!” his anger turned into a weird smile. He held me up from the water and threw me onto the bed.

I grabbed the quilt to cover myself up. He sneered, “Now you feel shy for being naked?”

I simply ignored him with my lips pressed. I looked around the bed and found no clothes. Then I saw him took off his own drenched jacket.

As his shirt also got mostly drenched, it literally clung to his strong chest muscle, which looked quite tempting. I frowned, “Dennis, no! I don’t want to.”

He paused while unbuttoning his shirt. Then he sneered, “You seem to overestimate my energy.” He cast me a cold glimpse and huffed, “Don’t worry. I am not a hormone-driven monster.”

As he took off his shirt, threw it aside, unbuckled his belt and took off his pants. Then I noticed a horrible scar on his back as he bent over, which stunned me.

It must be a terrible air crash.

He threw his pants aside. Of course, he also noticed that I was gazing at his scar. He frowned, “I never regretted whoever I protected at that moment.”

I was speechless and shifted my gaze off from him. Then I pulled the quilt over my head.

But then I paid the price for my tantrum. During the small hours, high fever started to haunt me. I was getting dizzy and burning thirsty. I scrambled around on the bed and almost fell off.

Luckily, Dennis acted quickly enough to grab me and pull me back onto the bed. He seemed to be woken up just now. His husky voice sounded, “What’s wrong?”

Dizziness messed up my brain and my throat was burning. Not until quite a while did I force out a word, “Water!”

He turned on the bedside lamp, stood up and poured me a glass of water. The water alleviated my sickness a bit. But I still felt feeble, weak and dizzy.

Dennis noticed something wrong with me. He touched my forehead and realized what happened to me. So he stood up to put on his clothes. I grabbed the end of his shirt and struggled to say, “I can’t go to the hospital.”

I knew taking medicine or getting infusion might do harm to the baby.

He frowned and started to shed sweat on his forehead, “No hospital? Alright, let me get Mario here.” While saying, he made a call.

After talking for a few seconds, he went into the bathroom. Then he got a wet towel to apply on my forehead. After that, he went to prepare some tepid water.

As I was badly ill because of fever, I had no idea when Mario arrived. Only when he was talking to Dennis did I manage to regain my soberness a bit.

“How did she get such a sudden high fever? She has been five months pregnant. The baby is growing his own body. Now it’s the most vital period!” I could tell it was Mario who was questioning him.

“She got herself into the rain for half an hour.” Dennis’s voice sounded.

“You are too careless. Pregnant ladies tend to have fluctuation of emotion. She got so many impacts and burdens recently. She must find it hard to vent all out. So she chose her own way to deal with emotion.”

But the strong dizziness kept me away from hearing the following conversation.

I felt alternatively hot and cold during the rest of the night. And my brain lurched from sleep and awakeness from time to time.

When I woke up, it was the night of the next day. Perhaps out of the instinct of a mother, I reached out my hands to touch my belly. Fortunately, the baby was still sleeping in.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I closed my eyes to adjust myself. Then I opened up my eyes again.

The room was empty. I felt thirsty. So I supported myself up and was about to get off the bed. But my legs got so feeble that I suddenly plummeted as soon as my feet touched the ground.

My heart skipped a beat. But fortunately, I grabbed the night table and then my knees hit the ground. I managed to avoid the danger. But the gadgets on the night table fell on the ground all over and sounded loud.

The door was suddenly opened. Dennis, carrying some files on his hands, seemed to rush over as he heard the noise.

He saw me kneeling on the ground. He frowned and walked over to hold me up to put me onto the bed. His husky voice sounded again, “What are you doing?”

“Water!” I said, feeling my throat sore.

He rested my back against the headboard of the bed. Then he poured me a glass of water and fed me, “There is a phone on the bedside table. You can call either Nanny Daisy or me if needed. Don’t play tough!”

I nodded, silent.

After drinking some water, I felt a bit better.

He looked at me, “Are you hungry?”

I shook my head. Then I stared at the files he brought in, the content of which was about a proposal of the latest product of HY Technology.

I paused and soon shifted my gaze. Then I stared at the wall at the end of the bed blankly.

He noticed my gaze just now. So he handed me the files, “Here is the proposal of HY Technology. You wanna take a look?”

I shook my head, looking a bit upset, “No.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Since I had quit my job, my ambition for career had been ceased no matter how strong it used to be. Now my priority was to give birth to the baby safely.

“After the birth of the baby, you can continue with your position in the office if you want to. I should be blamed for the audit scandal between HY Technology and the George Group because of my lack of consideration. You should never take the blame.”

I frowned while hearing him mentioning it.

Feeling uneasy, I still kept unspoken as I had no idea how to talk to him about this matter.

Seeing that I remained silent, he thought I was still worried about it. So he said, “You are still running HY Technology and you will always be no matter what happens then. Now you only need to take care of the baby.”

“Dennis!” I said with slightly hoarse voice, “Olivia’s arrival in City P, the air crash and the crisis of the George group. Have you planned all these?”

It was so continuous that it looked like a coincidence of one-in-a-million. I had been speculating after all these, but there was one thing I dared not to be sure about-they were all parts of Dennis’s plan.

He stared at me, looking chill, “You suspect that I made you the scapegoat?”

I felt bad in my heart while looking at him, “I have been doing construction projects since I started to work in the office. I had no experienced in audit nor marketing before that. However, after my project for Doctor Stefan, you made me take charge of the audit and also the project of HY Technology. As far as I know about you, you should have only made me take charge of one project at a time instead of two. But you made an exception.”

While saying that, I glanced at him, who raised his brows.

“Go on!”

I nudged myself a bit to adjust my position. Then I continued, “you said it was a punishment for me causing Doctor Stefan’s delay to pay off the balance. But actually it was a distracter. Ever since the George Group got listed, the capital chain and the financing risk have been the biggest challenges.”

“The George Group has possessed the most abundant capital among all those listed companies. So what made you draw the conclusion that the George Group was facing challenges of shortage of capital?”

I couldn’t help smiling wryly when noticing his confidence, “If there was enough capital, why did it bring an impact worth tens of million to the George Group just because of a few days of Doctor Stefan’s delay to pay off the balance?”
