Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 397

Ethan stayed in Frank's hospital for two weeks.

Janet came to see him every morning before going to work. And after work, she would come back to see him and stay in the ward until late at night.

Janet was good at taking care of people. She was kind and considerate and would go out of the way to help others.

On the day Ethan got discharged from the hospital, he kissed Janet's cheek and pinched her slender waist. "You are cut out to be a good wife." Ethan recalled their past. Janet would sometimes get pissed but never lost her temper. Even if she got angry, she would still speak softly as if she would break into tears the next second. She was a pitiful fragile doll.

Janet's face turned beet red. "Stop it!" She pushed Ethan away. "I used to take care of Hannah. She is old, and it was more difficult than taking care of you."

Ethan's lips curled up into a smirk. He leaned against Janet's shoulder and buried his face in her thick locks, inhaling her sweet scent.

The alluring scent aroused him.

"Ahem! Can you guys stop it? Ethan, you've just recovered. You shouldn't indulge in any kind of physical activities until you get better," Frank advised, clearing his throat.

Janet immediately pushed Ethan away and turned to look at Frank. "Doctor Watson, how is Ethan now? Is there any sequela of his burn?"

"I've tried my best, but there are still a few burn scars on his back. Luckily they are not too obvious." After a moment's thought, Frank added, "They won't be visible if you turn the lights off."

Janet glared at Ethan, her face burning with embarrassment.

However, the fact that there were still scars on Ethan's back broke her heart.

Ethan looked up and pinched Janet's ear.

He squinted, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "It's okay for a man to have some scars on his body."
