507 Chapter 507: I Care About You (1/2)
Afterward, she stood up at a slow pace gazing into space. She felt like crying when Ethan didn't answer.
”The water is so sweet!” Kylie smacked her lips, then walked out of the room in Ethan's remains silent, as nothing had happened. He wanted to grab and hug her, but he doesn't know how to face her after ignoring her the whole night. He was mad at her after she lied to him. Kylie left in silence without looking at him.
The housekeeper ran into Kylie at the door and pretended to be serious. ”Mrs. Parker, are you...”
”Oh, it is sweet.” Kylie ignored the housekeeper and went into her bedroom.
The housekeeper was struck dumb for a long while and felt confused.
At this moment, Ethan made several coughs inside.
The housekeeper strode in at once. ”Mr. Parker, may I help?”
Ethan did his best not to laugh and said in a deep voice, ”Give me a glass of water.”
”Sure,” the housekeeper said.
Ethan sat up on the sofa and pinched the middle of his eyebrows. He was still mad at Kylie.
It couldn't be more obvious that Kylie was hiding something from him, but he just couldn't vent his anger on her. He wanted to read her mind, yet his inner strength was being suppressed, and that added another pressure to him. He wanted to find out who sealed his power and why his body was gradually losing its nature to heal.
He kept telling himself that Kylie wasn't doing something bad behind his back, but something that will benefit him.
Thinking of what she just did, Ethan was amused and beamed.
”Mr. Parker?” The housekeeper handed Ethan a glass of water.
Ethan held the glass in his palms and asked, ”Has she stayed outside the door all the time?”
”Yes, Mrs. Parker has stayed outside by the door all the time. I walked the doctor out just then and thought Mrs. Parker was still asleep, so I didn't close the door.”
Ethan shook his hand. He understood the housekeeper did that on purpose. ”Go have some rest.”
”Thanks, Mr. Parker.” The housekeeper left the study but didn't walk far away. He witnessed Ethan stepping towards the master bedroom from the study, then went back to his own room with a broad smile on the face.
They still loved and cared about each other.
Kylie hid in the quilt and didn't dare move at all when the door was pushed open.
She peeked out from the gap between the quilt and the bed. Ethan was standing by the door.
After a few steps, he sat by her side on the bed.
Kylie got nervous and closed her eyes tight.
First, she was afraid Ethan might find out she was pretending to be asleep. Second, she was worried she might touch the wounds on his back.
Kylie waited for a long time.
She felt her limbs were getting numb, and moved a little, then focused on Ethan's breath.
He was still quiet.
He must be asleep now.
Kylie turned her head.
Ethan did not react.
Seeing that, Kylie got bold and uncovered herself to see Ethan's face.
However, she closed her eyes without delay the moment she glanced at his face.
Ethan wasn't asleep at all but stared straight at her!
There was no need to pretend anymore, so Kylie opened her eyes and summoned up her courage to meet Ethan's eyes. ”Why are you looking at me?”
”Why are you looking at me?” Ethan's voice was still hoarse.
