Chapter 502


    J crouched to the ground, her face scrunched up in pain, her brow dotted with cold sweat.


    Draco had started approaching with the intent to urge her to keep going, but as soon as he saw her


    paleplexion, he hurried over and fell to his knees beside her.


    J was curled into herself with her arms wrapped around her belly. “Are you experiencing menstrual


    cramps, by any chance?” Draco asked.


    But she was hurting so badly, she was barely able to speak. Instead, J responded with a feeble


    shake of her head. Her period had just ended a few days ago.


    Without further hesitation, Draco picked her up in his arms. “I’m taking you to the hospital.”


    J was rather surprised to find that the gentle and seemingly feminine man was, in fact, pretty


    strong.


    She struggled to endure the pain throughout the drive. “Mr. Wesley,” J said through gritted teeth. “I


    apologize, but I don’t think I can go with you to Mn. You can drop me off at the hospital and get


    someone else toe with you.”


    Draco nced at her indifferently. “I know. Stop talking and just take it easy.”


    J closed her eyes, her lips curling into a bitter smile. She couldn’t believe she was on her way to


    the hospital yet again! How incredibly “lucky” of her.


    The pain took over shortly, and before she knew it, she had already fainted.


    ******


    When J opened her eyes again, she was already lying snug on a hospital bed.


    An infusion needle was attached to the back of her hand. Thankfully, she felt much better now.


    She turned her head to find Draco sitting at her bedside and reading the day’s paper. A slight breeze


    blew in through the window, lifting the corner of the newspaper, distracting him for a moment.

    He flipped the paper down and saw J staring at him. “You’re awake,” Draco said lightly. “How are


    you feeling?”


    J blinked at him for a few seconds as she tried to process the situation.


    “Aren’t you supposed to be in Mn, Sir?”


    “I booked another flight,” Draco replied nonchntly. “It’s still early, anyway. We still have time. Don’t


    worry about anything else besides yourself for now. Are you hungry? I’ve asked my family chef to


    prepare something and send it over.”


    “Oh, that’s too much trouble, Sir. You shouldn’t have bothered.”


    A smile lit up Draco’s face, stunning J speechless.


    She realized then that this man had what some would call an ethereal beauty.


    And he had the personality to match, too. Despite his strict side, he was always kind and courteous to


    everyone. J briefly wondered if anyone would ever be able to peel back hisyers and truly know


    him.


    Draco shifted his attention back to the newspaper. When he spoke again, his voice had turned an


    octave lower, and his words caught her off-guard. “You should call your husband. He probably has no


    idea that you’ve been admitted to the hospital.”


    “Oh,” J eximed before scrambling for her phone and sending Ethan a message.


    Ethan came over as soon as he received it.


    He strode into the ward, only to be greeted by the sight of his wife in deep conversation with Draco.


    J had a bright smile on her face.


    Why was she smiling like that to another man?


    Ethan was not happy.


    Draco noticed Ethan’s presence, and to his credit, he got up from his seat and nodded politely. “Mr.


    Larson.”


    Ethan returned his nod with a short one of his own, though he had to stop himself from doing a double


    take.


    Draco Wesley was beautiful, and certainly not in a manly way. If anything, he looked like some fancy


    boy toy. But Ethan chose to keep his thoughts to himself.


    Draco studied him as well.


    In his opinion, Ethan seemed to be the kind of man who was desperate to show off his wealth and


    aplishments. His face was very attractive, yes, but that was all there was.


    J smiled awkwardly as the air thrummed with a subtle tension. She could tell that the men didn’t


    like each other.


    Just when she thought she couldn’t bear the heavy atmosphere any longer, Draco suddenly turned to


    her with another smile. “Since your husband is here, I should take my leave.”


    Ethan’s narrowed gaze followed the other man to the door. It wasn’t until Draco was gone that he


    plopped on the chair the man had vacated. He wasn’t nning to say anything initially, but he couldn’t


    help himself in the end. “Don’t be fooled by his good looks,” Ethan grumbled. “He might be batting for


    the other team. You know how it is in the world of fashion. Most male designers are gay.”


    J pressed her fingers to her lips to hide her grin. “What are you on about? If you’re so convinced


    that he’s gay, then why are you even jealous of him?”


    Ethan’s face darkened. With a growl of warning, he reached out and pinched her cheek. Then his eyes


    drifted to the infusion tube strapped to her hand. “What happened? You just got out of the hospital a


    while ago.”
