The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 372

Charles sighed almost inaudibly. He loosened his grip and said, "Give the medicine to Edward and get him to drink more water. You... Just stay with him for a while."

After saying that, Charles turned around and left.

Nancy stood in the corridor, motionless for three minutes. Did that really happen or it was just an auditory hallucination? Did Charles really give her permission to accompany Edward?

Nancy looked at the medicine in her hand and made sure that she heard it right. Then she turned around and walked into Edward's room.

Edward's lips were a little pale and dry. Nancy felt guilty that she forgot to give Edward some water. "Edward, wake up. You need to take your medicine."

Nancy gently shook Edward's arm. He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Nancy, why are you in my room?"

Edward was asking knowingly. In fact, he knew that Nancy had been there all night. He just wanted to avoid embarrassment.

Besides, if Charles asked him later, he could also pretend to be oblivious.

"You have a fever. Charles got you the medicine." Nancy fetched some water for Edward and put the medicine into his mouth. "Take the medicine and then rest some more. You will feel better soon."

"What? It was Charles who got me the medicine? I..." Edward sat up rashly and exerted pressure on his wound by accident. He grunted in pain.

"You are dizzy because of your fever. Be careful! Do not move recklessly." Thinking of what Edward said last night, Nancy couldn't look at him in the eyes. "Charles reminded me to make you drink plenty of water."

"Well, thank him for his concern." Edward took the cup from Nancy and drank it in one gulp.

Nancy brought the thermometer and said, "Edward, put the thermometer under your armpit so we can check your temperature."

Edward stared at Nancy in silence. Nancy rubbed her face self-consciously. "I didn't sleep much. Am I looking so ugly now?"

"In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. How can you call yourself ugly?" Edward said slowly.

"You're just fooling around with me. Have a good rest. I'll go downstairs to get you something to eat." Nancy turned around and walked out the door.

Edward stared at her back as she walked away. He placed the thermometer under his armpit and slowly closed his eyes.

'Nancy stayed with me last night. It was nice to have her company.'

When Nancy went downstairs, Charles happened to come back from his morning exercise.

"Edward has taken the medicine. I'm going to the kitchen now." Nancy rushed into the kitchen.

Charles shrugged and smiled. She didn't bring up the fact that she accompanied Edward last night. Why did she seem so reluctant?

Did she do something that made her feel guilty?

No, no!

Even if he didn't trust Edward, he should believe in Nancy. She was not that kind of woman, absolutely not!

Charles proceeded to take a morning shower and changed into casual house clothes. When he came back downstairs, Nancy was still busy in the kitchen. She was cooking pasta, presumably for Edward.

Charles walked in and smiled, "Edward likes pasta?"

Startled by Charles' question, Nancy's body stiffened. "Yes."

"What about me? I also like that," said Charles as he breathed in the smell of her hair.

"Then you should eat plenty later," she replied.

"Nancy, you seem so distressed about Edward's injury. Were you crying? I mean last night..." Charles leaned in and nibbled on Nancy's earlobe.

Bit by bit...

"Yes. I feel sorry for him!" said Nancy in a low voice.

For a moment, Charles' expression was blank. And then he was back to usual as he said, "It's nothing. I'm fine, really."

Nancy sniffed. "Oh, Charles, I know what you are thinking. He is like family to me so I naturally feel bad for him. You think too much!"

Charles denied, "No, of course I don't think too much about it! Trust me. I will find out who is behind Edward's kidnapping, and I will let you punish the person. How about that?"
