    Barlow’s gaze was drawn to her flushed lips, an unconscious swallow tracing his throat.


    Had he begun to crave her Lips?


    He drew nearer.


    Suddenly, the door swung open and a nurse strode in, clutching a handful of bills.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Sir...”


    She was interrupted as two pairs of eyes pivoted towards her.


    She faltered, taken aback and a touch embarrassed.


    “Oh, do be careful. The patient is injured, you know. Too much exertion isn’t advisable.”


    Karina''s face blossomed in mortification.


    With a swift shove, she dislodged Barlow, wishing the earth would open up and swallow her.


    “|... need to wash my hands.”


    Barlow watched as she fled the scene, took a deep breath and endeavored to regain hisposure.


    “Next time, perhaps nce through the door’s ss panel before entering. If the scene is inappropriate for your eyes, it would be


    best not to disturb,” he suggested, a grin ying at his lips.


    The nurse took his advice to heart, her thoughts scattered.


    What an attractive man! She truly envied the woman by his side!


    Meanwhile, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Brian’s gaze rested on Eleanor’s protruding belly, his Lips set in a


    tight Line.


    Eleanor’s hand hovered over her abdomen as she anxiously eyed him.


    Did he decide to insist on the abortion?


    “Mr. Hughes, please...”


    “Do you not have other tasks to attend to? Please, proceed with your work,” Brian finally voiced.


    Eleanor was momentarily taken aback. She gazed at his striking features and asked, “Mr. Hughes, have you decided against the


    abortion?”


    Brian remained motionless, his voice indifferent. “Eleanor, your fate is of no concern to me. Whether the child lives or not, the


    decision is yours.”
