One Night Surprise Chapter 484
Chapter 484 A Little Terrified
Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Courtney was taking a bath when she suddenly heard a creak at the door. Subconsciously, she
covered her chest and looked in the direction of the door, only to see a figure sneaking into the
bathroom from the slowly widening gap.
Alexander was wearing a white shirt while holding the suit that he had just taken off in one hand. His
other hand was ced on the door handle while his forehead was covered in sweat, and his chest was
heaving rapidly as he panted.
“Are you injured?” He peered at the woman lying in the bathtub; his gaze deepened before he slowly
felt relieved.
At that moment, Courtney was lying naked in the bathtub with a face mask on her face and a bottle of
red wine beside her. Other than a bandaged foot that was hanging over the edge of the bathtub, all the
cells in her body seemed to indulge in the pleasurable hot bath. She didn’t seem like a patient at all.
“What are you doing here?” Courtney asked, casually tossing her towel at him. Since Alexander had
lost his memories, she had been tolerating his wayward attitude for a long time.
The towelnded on his chest before it fell to his feet. He bent over and picked it up before slowly
walking up to her.
“Let me help you,” he said, his tone adamant.
After hispany meeting had ended, Eric reported to him that Courtney had been involved in an
ident while she was at work. He sped to the hospital upon hearing that, only to be told that Courtney
had just left the hospital. Thereafter, he drove all the way back again. The anxiety he felt when he was
on his way home nearly burnt a hole in his chest, and the extreme eagerness to see her was
unstoppable.
Alexander couldn’t exin why he was so irrational at that moment when he had always been a calm
andposed person. However, he was able to sense that his dormant subconscious was vaguely
dominating his actions deep down.
Therefore, although Courtney refused to tell him about his lost memories, he was able to sense
something.
Upon hearing his request, Courtney leaned back. It revealed her unwillingness, but Alexander caught
her arm as the towel started traveling along her snow-white skin. He carefully rubbed her arm,
shoulder, and her back…
“Alexander.” Courtney was in a daze. In the past, Alexander would uncontrobly give in to his carnal
desire whenever he saw her body. However, he was different today. He remained quiet with furrowed
brows, and after rubbing her back, he started to help Courtney clean her injured leg without uttering a
word.
“What’s with you today?” she asked in curiosity. His service made her feel sofortable that it sent a
tingling sensation all over her body.
“When Eric told me that you had an ident, I started to panic. I was even a little terrified.”
He had lost her for five years because of some mistakes, and the mncholy that came with the
endless waiting would enter his dreams every night along with the night breeze. Although he couldn’t
remember the past, he was able to remember how it had felt back then—it felt excruciatingly painful.
He lowered his gaze. He had never been someone who would easily reveal his weakness to others.
His voice was hoarse, which suggested that it had been difficult for him to say that.
Courtney suddenly felt moved. The tingling sensation seeped through herplexion and into her
heart, overwhelming her very much.
“I’ll always stay by your side.” She leaned forward, cradling the man’s chiseled face, and bit his lips
swiftly and urately.
The air around them was passionate and intimate. With both arms wrapped around the man, she took
the opportunity to undress his shirt, revealing his muscr, burning chest.
Alexander, who was beginning to lose all reason, took control of the situation by slowly sliding his
hands downward. The woman below him moaned in response, which continued to drown his rationale.
After the brief forey, Alexander reached both his hands down and carried Courtney out of the
bathtub, exposing her unconcealed body under the bright light. Her face was slightly flushed, but she
immediately caught his lips with hers to divert his gaze.
The scent that came with physical intimacy filled the tiny space.
Alexander was walking toward the bathroom door while relying on his instincts, but someone knocked
on the bedroom door just then.
The knocking sound resembled a bucket of cold water that poured over the both of them. Alexander
and Courtney opened their eyes simultaneously and met each other’s eyes. The woman was clinging
onto the man while naked, and that realization made both of them flush. They were so passionate with
each other a second ago, but once their intimacy had been interrupted, the air started to feel a little
awkward.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Their sudden visitor was rather persistent, so they had no choice but to answer
the door.
“Who’s there?” Courtney cleared her throat and shouted at the door. After that, she stared unblinkingly
at the door so that she didn’t need to meet the man’s eyes.
“It’s me, Tina.”
At that instant, Alexander’s expression was as dark as night. He had an insuppressible desire burning
inside him, yet there was a creature called his ‘daughter’ standing outside the room.
“What’s the matter, Tina? It’ste, so let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Courtney sounded sincere, and she
even yawned.
“No. Great-Grandpa promised me during dinner that he will go to the hospital tomorrow to prepare
himself for the operation, but he has changed his mind again. He’s sulking right now, and he’s refusing
to budge; even Jordan is unable to persuade him otherwise.”
Upon hearing that, Courtney patted Alexander on his shoulder and said, “It sounds serious. I have to
go over to check him out, so put me down.”
He stubbornly kept both hands on her thighs and refused to let her go. Meanwhile, a helpless and
anguished expression remained on his face.
“Let’s go over together to persuade him. We will talk about other stuff when we get back.” As she
spoke, she wriggled her body in an attempt to break free from his embrace. Alexander, who was
worried that she might injure her foot, gave in and slowly put her down by letting hernd on her
uninjured foot first.
When Courtney safely left Alexander’s embrace, she stepped on a slipper and tried to reach for the
towel on the rack not far from her. The next second, she slipped as her weight was forced on her
injured foot, and the sudden sharp pain caused her to fall backward.
“Ah—” In a panic, she reached out to grab onto something. Coincidentally, she grabbed the man’s belt.
As they yelled loudly, both Courtney and Alexander fell into the bathtub before producing a huge
ssh.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Upon hearing the loud sound in the bathroom, Tina knocked on the door with a
frown and asked, “Are you guys alright?”
“We’re fine.” Their strained voices were heard from the bathroom.
——
The next morning, Courtney managed to send Scott to the hospital and confirmed the previously
scheduled operation appointment after coaxing and pestering him despite his reluctance.
Before the surgery, Scott had to stay in the hospital for some time for observation and to undergo some
sort of physical examination. Although his health indicators were all normal, he kept telling the doctor
that he had a headache and that he couldn’t get out of bed. Everyone that took in the scene knew what
he was up to, but there was nothing they could do.
One weekend, Alicia brought Josephine over to visit Scott. After some time, the former left the room to
look for Courtney, leaving Josephine in the ward to keep Scottpany.
Scott was lying on the bed. Although he was tired, he seemed to be in fine health. When he saw
Josephine sitting beside him while having a great time ying video games, he asked, “Since you are
here, aren’t you going to talk to me?”
“What do you want to talk about, Great-Grandpa?” she responded without lifting her head.
“What are you ying?”
“I’m ying a game about doctors and nurses. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor like Mommy. I
want to invent a treatment that you won’t be afraid of,” Josephine answered in a childish but adamant
tone, though she didn’t stop ying.
“Me? Afraid?”
She nodded. “Great-Aunt Alicia told me that. She said that you are afraid to undergo the operation, but
I hope that you will be braver. Mommy said that the operation has a high sess rate. After the
surgery, you can live longer and watch me be a doctor.”
His expression changed when he heard that. Then, he cleared his throat before he dered, “I’m not
afraid to do the surgery!”
