Chapter 277


    Lexi awoke with a start as the first stream of morning sunlight filtered through the blinds. Her mind was


    a foggy mess, with zero recollection of the events from the previous night.


    The weather had been particrly nasty, with winds howling and main pelting against the windows


    Callum had kindly checked in on her, and they’d shared a few drinks.


    Beyond that Lexi couldn’t remember a thing


    Rubbing her throbbing temples, Lexi made a mental note to avoid alcohol in the future. She wondered


    if she had drunkenly beaten up Callum the night before


    While amusing herself with visions of battering Callum, Lexi attempted to sit up only to discover a


    heavy lethargy in her limbs. Worse still, she waspletely naked!


    Lexi’s mind stalled, her gaze stiffly turned to the perfectly sculpted hody lying next to hers. Although he


    had his back to her, Lexi was already terrified. She twisted her head again and saw a smashed bottle of


    red wine and scattered clothing on the floor a scenario that let one’s imagination run wild


    So, had she started it, or was it Callum?


    Before Lexi could untangle her thoughts, she heard a small noise from behind. Fearful of being


    discovered, she quickly closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep.


    Callum opened his eyes, feeling an awkwardness settle upon seeing Lexi beside him. He quickly


    decided to sneak out while she was still asleep Hastily pulling on his jeans, he grabbed his shirt and


    fled the room like a fugitive


    As the sound of the door closing reached her ears, Lexi knew Callum was gone. She heaved a sigh of


    relief. It was better this way, avoiding an awkward confrontation.


    Besides, it was merely a one–night stand after a drunken night, night? They were adults, after all it


    wasn’t their first rodeo!


    Lex reassured herself, but her heart felt heavy as if a giant rock was lodged therein.


    Before long, Rita arrived to tidy up the room.


    Lexi was trying to soothe her throbbing head by soaking in the bathtub, a cold shower seemed like the


    best remedy for her hangover. She and Callum had been quite inebriated the night before. Had they


    used protection? What if she got pregnant?


    “Ms. rkson are you there?”


    Rita had finished tidying up the room but hadn’t seen Lexi Worried, she knocked on the bathroom door.


    Lexi, wrapped in a bathrobe, opened the door. “I need the morning after pill”


    Taken aback, Rita quickly understood what Lexi meant and nodded. “Okay, I’ll bring it to you shortly”


    After tidying up the room, Rita went straight to Callum. “Sir, Ms. Lex needs the morning–after pill.”


    Callum frowned “What?”


    Rita repeated, “Ms. Lexi said she needs the morning after pill


    Infuriated. Callum pped the table. “What the hell does she mean by that?”


    Rita couldn’t answer that. She waited for his next instructions


    Callum, filled with anger and nowhere to vent, beckoned Rita toe closer, and whispered to her, “Go


    and get


    After a while, Rita came back with a ss of water. She handed over the pill to Lexi. “This is from our


    family doctor. It’s very effective and won’t harm your body.”


    Lexi’s face turned beet red “Thank you,” she muttered


    Rita blinked “No need for thanks. Ms Lexi.”


    After swallowing the pill, Lexi gave Rita a grateful smile. “Still, thank you”


    “There’s no need, really I’ll be on my way then” Rita left Lex’s room


    Seeing Rita’s retreating figure, Lexi felt something odd about her expression today. But she dismissed


    the thought soon after


    Melfort Hospital


    Natalia had been in the hospital for a week and was feeling incredibly bored and frustrated


    “I want to be discharged, now! Natalia grumbled, pounding the bed lightly and pouting at Magnus, who


    was peeling an apple for her, Magnus, patient as ever, kept peeling the apple without looking up “No,


    you haven’t recoveredpletely yet”

    Natalia’s eyes twitched in imitation “I’ve just suffered some minor injuries, not a broken bone! I’ll go


    mad if i stay here any longer


    Magnus didn’t budge “That’s for the doctor to decide, understood?”


    Forced to eat the apple slice Magnus held up to her lips, Natalia huffed Tve been here for a week, I feel


    like I’m falling apart Magnus pinched Natalia’s cute little nose “My dear. I also wish you could recover


    quickly. The nights without you are unbearably long” Natalia blushed, pulling her nose free from


    Magnus‘ grasp Just as she was about to retort, there was a knock on the door of the ward,


    “Come in Magnus called over his shoulder


    The door to the hospital room swung open, and the attending physician strode in He said respectfully


    ‘Mr Ander discharged at any time”


    “Finally, I can leave the hospital. Im so happy!” Natalia’s face lit up with joy


    Mrs Andersens injures have healed. She can be


    Magnus turned to the doctor, his expression serious. “Are you sure my wife has fully recovered? There


    won’t be anyplications?”


    The doctor was taken aback. In his twenty plus years of medical practice, he’d never heard of a minor


    shoulder injury causing lingering effects.
