Chapter 507: I Care About You
Caught by him, she acted like a little kitten. “Ahem! Honey, I… I want to feed you some water. Your lips were dry,” Kylie swallowed the water down herself in shock.
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.
Ethan lay down on the bed and didn’t move again. He breathed heavily at the beginning, then his breath became steady.
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.
Kylie was struck dumb for a second, then said, “I care about you.”
“Me too,” Ethan said lightly.
Hearing that, Kylie felt like crying. She held his hand and said, “Ethan, your brothers are all suspicious of me.”
She laid her head on his broad chest. “There is something I can’t tell you right now, but please trust me. I always side with you.”
Ethan moved a little, then hugged Kylie in his arms.
“Did you make a deal with Tory?” His voice was low but sounded certain. “Dinah is still in his hands.”
Kylie pulled Ethan’s hand to cover her raised belly. “Ethan, not only has Stephen aborted Dinah’s baby, but he also has removed her uterus. It’s impossible for Dinah to be pregnant again during this life.”
“So you helped Tory keep it a secret from her?” Ethan squinted and snorted, “Dinah is much more sensitive than she looks. She knew Stephen liked you a long time ago, but she was still willing to marry him. You can’t hide the truth from her for a long while.”
“Well, at least we can’t tell her right now,” Kylie said. “She’s in a very bad condition now.”
“What does Tory want you to do?” They finally hit the point.
Kylie kissed his jaw. “Can we drop this topic? I don’t want to lie to your face again.”
Ethan didn’t say another word but gently rubbed the top of her head with his jaw.
Kylie whispered, “I wasn’t talking to Faith just then. It’s a lie, and I found I have to make up endless lies once I lied to you at the beginning.”
Ethan bit her cheek. “We can drop that topic.”
“Ethan, I love you.” Kylie kissed him back. “I promise I’ll figure out a way to cure your wounds.”
“I’m fine.” Ethan pressed her to his chest. “Don’t worry about me. I can be cured.”
Kylie covered her head in his chest and felt like crying, hearing his gentle voice.
“Am I in a terrible condition?” Ethan raised her jaw when he felt the warm wetness on his chest.
Kylie burst into tears and covered her head into his chest again.
Ethan hugged her and patted her back to comfort her, but his eyes were full of hatred and determination out of Kylie’s sight. He wanted to end Stephen’s evilness and start to focus his life with her.
He wouldn’t let Stephen destroy many lives and take his baseless revenge!
It was also impossible that he would allow him to steal his woman away!
Stephen, let’s see!
They fell asleep together later.

The next morning, Kylie pulled Ethan to the bathroom once they got up. “Let me help you shave your mustache.”
Ethan looked at himself in the mirror. There was only some new stubble around his jaw, and it wasn’t long. Since Kylie proposed to shave it for him, he would love to enjoy it.
As soon as the soap bubbles covered his chin, someone knocked on the door.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mother Kylie, may I come in?” Ben’s tender voice sounded outside the door.
“Come on in!” Kylie said. “I’m in the bathroom.”
Ben opened the door of the master bedroom, followed by Pupu. Pupu then stood on its hind legs and pushed the door of the bathroom open.
“Oh, Mother Kylie’s husband, how old are you? Why do you still need Mother Kylie to bathe you?” Ben covered his eyes with his little hands.
Kylie was amused and laughed out loud. “Ben, I’m just shaving his stubble.”
Ben, instead, looked very serious. “You’re not. When my father bathes me, he makes bubbles like that as well!”
