When Paige Summers slowly came to, she found her hand held tightly. Marcus Monroe was sitting by the bed, looking at her with a complex expression.
"You… What's with that expression?" She cleared her throat, which was incredibly dry.
Instead of answering, Marcus Monroe quickly got a cup of water and helped her drink. After settling her back down, he slowly asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"Feeling?" Paige Summers moved her arm. "I should be fine, just a little weak. By the way, why did I suddenly pass out? Was it because of what happened before…"
"No," Marcus Monroe interrupted her. "You—you're pregnant!"
"What did you say?!" Paige Summers shot up, startling Marcus Monroe, who hurriedly steadied her.
Only then did Paige Summers realize his movements were much gentler than usual. It was as if he was treating her like a glass doll that would shatter with the slightest force.
'But, pregnant… This is so sudden!'
