After spending the past few months together, I was serious about my relationship with Christopher. Nonetheless, the thought of his family members driving us apart once they figured out our relationship had stopped me from seeking their acknowledgment.
I might not get to join the Lane family as a household member even if I was the heiress of the Tanner family. To make things worse, I was just a pathetic woman whose husband had an affair with another woman.
On top of that, only a mere few were made aware of our actual relationship. As a result, my mind went completely blank when Darius showed up out of nowhere.
Similarly, Darius seemed to be shocked by my presence. He sized me up while standing at the entrance.
It would be fine if I was seated next to Christopher. At least I could make something up and tell Darius I was just here to visit his brother. Unfortunately, I was next to Christopher on the bed, nestling against one another.
Darius wasn’t the mayor for no reason. He could carry himself as though it wasn’t a big deal and made his way into the ward once he closed the door.
Shortly after he nodded with a smile, he took a seat on the chair next to the bed and started perusing the medical record that was placed nearby.
“What’s wrong with both of you? Can’t you guys take good care of yourself and stop giving me the shock of my life?” Darius raised his volume once he finished perusing the medical record.
“Darius, I guess I can’t keep anything from you when you’re the mayor of Avenport, huh? It has only been a few days since my return, yet you manage to figure out I have been rushed to the hospital.” Christopher held my hand, indicating it would be fine.
Instead of just lying around, I felt the urge to greet Darius. Thus, I blurted out the things I had in mind, “Hey, Darius—”
