Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Unwarranted Confidence

The sharp gasp rippled through her body, triggering a stabbing pain in a certain spot. She shifted uncomfortably, only to have her hand suddenly grasped.

Logan’s calm voice followed, "You have a fever. Sleep. I’ll apply the medicine; when you wake up, it won’t hurt anymore."

Selina’s mind, foggy with exhaustion, registered his words, and she instinctively closed her eyes.

The man chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over her waist and slowly moving downward as he gently applied the medicine to her most sensitive area.

Once he was done, Selina remained deeply asleep. Logan carried her to the car and said in a flat tone, "Drive."

Jack raised the partition respectfully but not before asking, "Sir, how do you plan to deal with the Clark Family?"

Logan spoke lazily, "The Bryant Family has a niece, doesn’t it?"

Jack nodded. "Katie’s brother does have a daughter."

"Find a way to send her to the Clark Family. Let her make things difficult for Katie."

...

Selina woke up groggily, pressing her temples. She glanced out the window to check the time.

Good, it was still before noon. She’d only slept for two hours.

As she turned to get out of bed, a sharp pain made her gasp. "Hiss... Why does it hurt even more now?"

At that moment, Logan opened the door, looking a little surprised. "Awake?"

Ethan peeked in from behind him. "Huh? Miss Clark is awake? Then I’ll leave. I told you she was just exhausted and slept a bit longer, but you insisted on calling me."

Selina looked puzzled. "I only slept two hours. Was there really a need to call a doctor?"

Logan’s gaze lowered slightly as he chuckled. "Mrs. Reid, are you sure you only slept two hours?"

Feeling challenged, Selina pulled out her phone and pointed at the time, which showed "10:00." "I checked the time before I fell asleep—it was 8:00. Now it’s just..."

Before she could finish, her peripheral vision caught the date displayed nearby.

She hadn’t slept for two hours—she’d slept an entire day! It was already 10:00 the next morning!

Selina froze, her cheeks heating up. "Who’s to blame for me being this exhausted?!"

Logan smirked, clearly amused by her embarrassment, but didn’t expose her further. "Yes, my fault. Does it still hurt?"

Selina, unsteady even as she tried to walk, gave up and collapsed back onto the bed. "It hurts."

Logan’s brows furrowed slightly, and his tone turned serious. "I already applied the medicine... Turn over, and I’ll apply it again."

Selina: "..."

She squeezed her eyes shut, desperately trying not to remember where he had applied the medicine before.

Logan retrieved the medicine, and after a moment of silence, Selina gritted her teeth. "... It’s not there that hurts. It’s my bones!"

Logan paused mid-motion, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. "I’ve already arranged for your school to give you leave. Stay home and rest for a few days."

Selina’s eyes widened in alarm. "What... what reason did you give for my leave?"

If he told them the real reason, how could she ever show her face again?

Logan gave her a meaningful look. "Mrs. Reid, what exactly are you imagining?"

On the afternoon of the second day, she went for a walk in the back garden and suddenly noticed a patch of ground overrun with weeds. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
