She would feel sorry for him when he got hurt. She had even rushed to Villa Rosa upon learning.
he was suffering from a high fever,
She was trying to avoid him and was afraid of him, but she did not stop loving him.
That night, she stayed there and took care of him until dawn. She then lay at the edge of the bed and dozed off.
When Kenny got a call from Alisa, he rushed to Bayview Villa to see River, but the latter was not in the room.
He then called her, but she did not pick it up. Thus, he could only go to the hotel alone
After going upstairs, Alisa opened the door for him.
“Didn’t G come with you?” she asked doubtfully when she saw no one else behind Kenny.
Kenny made an excuse. “It’s Sunday today. She has to stay home with the kids.”
Alisa raised her brow in surprise. “She has kids?*
Kenny replied, “Yeah, triplets. You won’t blame her for her absence, will you?”
Alisa chuckled because she was fine with it. “No, I admire her for that. Adults should be with their kids when the kids are young. I look down on the people who ignore their kids because of work.”
Kenny was well aware that Alisa had grown up with a lack of love, so he purposely made such an excuse for River.
Alisa added, “I met an old friend yesterday and heard there’s a design exhibition in Novamere City that’s held every five years on the day after tomorrow. Will you and G attend it?”
“Design exhibition?” Kenny was puzzled. “I don’t know that. I’ve got to go back and discuss it with G.”
Alisa laughed. “I heard that the people from the upper class will attend it, too. Your company is new. Don’t you need to get to know more people?”
“Of course!” Kenny sounded firm. “But the thing you promised me
Alisa smiled and walked to Kenny before lifting his chin. “Don’t worry. I always keep my word. But do I need to tell you what you should do now?”
Kenny smiled. “No, I got it.”
After that, he hugged and kissed her.
At 9:00 am, Reuben sent some ointment to Noah in Villa Rosa.
But when he opened the door, he saw River sleeping beside Noah. He was dumbfounded.
“Why is Ms. Healy here? Did she reconcile with Mr. De Marco?”
Noah looked up at Reuben and whispered, “Come in and help apply the ointment to my wounds.
The stupefied Reuben answered with a simple “Yes” before entering
Walking to the bed, he found that River had opened her eyes.
He was stunned, so he stopped in his tracks and kept quiet.
Noah looked over. He saw River blink in a daze before she turned away and dozed off again.
Reuben was relieved and applied the ointment to Noah’s wounds
Once he saw the frightening scars on Noah’s body, he sighed at Draco’s cruelty. After all, Casey and Noah were both Draco’s sons.
Afterward, Reuben handed Noah a clean shirt.
River suddenly sat up in bed when Noah moved the blanket to get up.
She looked around in confusion, then turned to Noah and Reuben
When their eyes met, she blushed and quickly retreated into the bathroom.
Noah smiled, feeling quite happy about her reaction.
River was terrified after shutting the door.
‘Why was I sleeping in his bed when I clearly lay beside it?‘ she wondered
‘Nothing happened between us, right?‘ she thought, reassured by Noah’s injuries. “Noah is hurt. He must have been too weak for anything,‘ she concluded
Besides, River felt okay.
After dwelling on it briefly, she let down her guard. She must have crawled into his bed after dozing off.
However, Reuben could not suppress his curiosity. Mr. De Marco, did you reconcile with Ms.
Healy?”
Noah turned to look at Reuben icily. “Do you have nothing else on your plate?”
Reuben immediately shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. De Marco. I’ve overstepped my boundary.”
While putting on his clothes, Noah asked gloomily, “How is Casey now?”
Reuben answered, “He has four broken ribs and a broken elbow. He’s also suffering from a concussion. The surgery is over now, and he needs a long time to recuperate.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Well, he’s lucky.”
“Mr. De Marco, there’s another thing related to Ms. Healy.” Reuben glanced at the bathroom while reporting.
“What is it?” Noah asked.
Reuben elaborated, “The Healys manipulated Ms. Healy’s house to gain fans. They’ve started.
doing live streams to sell things, and Ms. Healy’s living room is full of produce now.”
Noah squinted and ordered, “Contact the platform to freeze his account.”
Reuben answered, “Okay.”
After he left, River came out of the bathroom.
When Noah noticed the blush on her delicate face, he asked with interest, “Why weren’t you so shy in the past?”
River was rendered speechless, thinking, “Why did he purposely mention that?‘
Thus, she changed the topic. “I’m leaving since you’re fine.”
She grabbed her bag on the sofa and turned to leave.
The moment she bypassed him, he suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
River immediately used her hands to stop him. She then looked up at him vigilantly, interrogating coldly, “What are you doing?”
IR
She did come to take care of him last night.
But it did not mean that she had let bygones be bygones and reconciled with him.
Noah frowned but did not let her go. “Are you sure you want to push me? Did you forget my injuries?”
River immediately stopped exerting herself. “Don’t do this to me just because you’re injured!”
Noah smirked. “What will Neil do if he learns that you came to take care of me and slept in the same bed with me?”
River was enraged. “Noah! Don’t be out of line!”
Noah stared at her, asking gloomily, “Why?”
“What do you mean?” River glared at him grumpily.
Reluctance and grief crept up his face. “Why do you want to be with Neil?”
“We got together because we’re suited for each other!” River’s face was aloof. “The main thing is he won’t ask me to get an abortion!”
At the mention of that, Noah gradually tightened his grasp around her waist, and his eyes turned chilly.
He gave off an oppressive aura, and the sudden drop in his temperature made her shudder.
“I would never wrong you if you told me about your pregnancy! But why did you hide it from me? You even wanted to die with my two children!”
“You wanted me to tell you?” River’s eyes turned red as she snorted helplessly. “Did you forget children!” what you said to Daniella? You said that a mistress had no right to bear your
Noah frowned deeply. “You heard that?”
“If not?” River struggled out of his arms. “I wanted to tell you many times, but you ruined my hope cruelly!”
River took a deep breath and wiped her tears away.
“Noah, things can’t go back to how they were,” she said before turning and leaving.
Noah was torn apart, recalling her words as he watched her go. Despite the excruciating pain, he resisted the urge to run after her, choosing instead to bury his pain deep in his heart.
When River returned to Bayview Villa, the two children rushed over to her. Liora hugged her leg and sobbed, looking up at her. “Mommy, where did you go? I couldn’t find you.”
River felt bitterness well up in her. She squatted down and hugged Liora, saying, “I didn’t come home last night because of something. I forgot to tell you guys. I’m sorry.”
Tyler noticed the dark circles under River’s eyes and asked in worry, “Mommy, did you stay up all night yesterday?”
