Anna’s voice was urgent, and her voice trembled slightly.
Tm used to.”
Anna was about to turn around when her hand was once again tightly held by Arthur. She stumbled and fell to sit beside him.
She didn’t expect Arthur, who was pale and sweating profusely at this moment, to still have such strength.
“Used to it? Don’t you have a personal doctor by your side? Is it because of stomach discomfort?
Anna quickly put herself in a professional environment, reaching out to touch the man’s abdomen.
Her face turned red. This man’s p

physique was too good! She could clearly feel the well–defined abdominal muscles with lines, and they were so firm.
“Hmm?” Arthur took a sharp breath.
This interrupted Anna’s thoughts. What was she thinking just now?!
1–I asked you a question, are you having stomach discomfort?” She hurriedly withdrew her hand, and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated
She had never been in such close proximity to a man in a room before, let alone in such an ambiguous position.
But she couldn’t think about it now!
“Hmm, I’m used to it. It will be fine after a while.”
Arthur took a deep breath, still holding onto Anna’s hand. “Don’t wake the child up. It’s okay, I’m confident.”
Anna wanted to retract her hand, but seeing how uncomfortable he looked she couldn’t bear to do so. She could at applying some force to his hand.
So she let him hold it.
But this man’s strength…
If he didn’t look so pale and genuinely in pain, she would even suspect that he was pretending.
least divert his attention by
Suddenly, she didn’t know how long had passed. Anna turned around to get some tissue, but the man’s hand moved vigilantly, pulling her hand in his direction.
Then she heard the man’s low voice asking. “Are you leaving?”
“No, I want to get you some tissues. You’re sweating, and your forehead is covered in sweat.”
Anna looked at him with concern. “Dr. let’s go to the hospital and see a doctor. The rain outside has also lessened.”
She turned slightly again, just enough to reach the tissue, pulled it out, and quickly wiped away the beads of sweat on Arthur’s forehead.
“Mr. Reynolds, since you’re here with me, I must take responsibility for you. Let’s go to the hospital or have your brother come pick you up,”
Anna looked at the tightly held hand and hesitated.
If this continues, it will be dawn soon.
“Just now, when you covered your stomach, it felt comfortable.”
Arthur seemed to not have heard what Anna was saying at all. He raised his other hand and placed it over her hand

Anna
Is there any way to control her own hand?
Anna really had no way to deal with Arthur. He was too stubborn, and his body belonged to him. She couldn’t make decisions for him.
“Mr. Reynolds. I have actually learned massage techniques for the stomach, Let me try to alleviate your stomach pain.”
Her hand was held, but there was no movement. It was placed on Arthur’s abdominal muscles, and her body temperature rose slightly
However, she had indeed learned massage techniques to relieve stomach pain.
Daring the five years in Germany, she studied hard and sometimes skipped meals, resulting in irregular eating habits. Stomach pain became a
common exelstence.
In order to relieve her own pain, she learned massage techniques and found that they were effective. This way, she could also reduce the harm caused by taking medication to her body.
Afterwards… she started eating regularly, and her stomach no longer hurt.
in’t object.
Arthur didn’t
Anna pulled her hand out of his big palm, and then gently pressed on his stomach, trying to feel what Arthur was feeling.
“I didn’t expect Miss Jenkins to be so skilled.”
Arthur took a deep breath, and after about ten minutes of massage, the pain in his stomach really eased.
He had been suffering from gastric problems for several years, to be exact, he couldn’t remember how many years exactly.
The attacks often occurred in the middle of the night.
The severity of the pain was truly random.
Sometimes it would only last for a short while before subsiding on its own, but other times it would be so severe that he couldn’t even stand up straight.
Tonight, the pain was very intense.
Mr. Reynolds, you have many things that others don’t know about. You still endure the pain even when it’s this bad.”
Anna couldn’t understand why he was so reluctant to go to the hospital when he was in so much pain.
“Heh, I’m used to it.” Arthur didn’t offer any explanation. He lay on the ground, gradually calming his breathing.
His body felt much more comfortable,
“Now that you’re feeling better, you should go to bed if you’re comfortable.”
Anna pointed to the bed. “It’s more comfortable to lie on the bed and massage.”
“I don’t want to move. This is more comfortable.”
Arthur closed his eyes, completely relaxed, and felt a sense of ease he had never experienced before.
He furrowed his brows, and in the dim light, his angular face looked even more profound
Anna had never seen such a handsome man. The word “handsome” was the only way to describe him.
She didn’t try to persuade him any further. She crossed her legs and continued massaging his stomach.
After a while, she heard the man’s even and powerful breathing. Was he asleep?
Anna Took a deep breath and finally relaxed. In critical moments, she had to rely on herself
She was about to get up and leave.

Suddenly!
The man’s long arm swung towards her, and at the same time, he got up a
pand pushed her to the ground….
Then, his strong body invaded her space.
Anna could’t move at all. She was already tired from the late night, and no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t push Arthur away. Did he always sleep this well?
He even fell asleep while still lyug on his back!
And he slept so deeply!
How could she wake him up?
Anna glanced at ham sideways, intending to wake him up, but she saw his exhausted face, pale for a long time,
She suddenly softened
He was probably really in pain, which exhausted all his energy, right?
Then let him lean on her shoulder for a while!
Anna looked at the coiling, her heartbeat speeding up. She took a deep breath, and starprisingly, her body didn’t reject this feeling.
Ever since Dominic betrayed her
She had a negative attitude towards relationships and always questioned men’s intentions.
But she didnt reject Arthur?
She didn’t know how long it had been.
–Anna felt her eyelids drooping. She was very tired, especially after a busy morning, taking Little Mason to the amusement park
And she had encountered Laura, so saying that she wasn’t tired would be a lie.
The more she didn’t want to fall asleep, the more her body seemed to defy her. Finally, unable to resist fatigue any longer, she fell asleep.
The next morning.
Caleb came to Mystic Pines Haven early in the morning to reimburse Arthur. When he arrived at Anna’s doorstep, he realized that he didn’t have a
way to enter.
He took out his phone and called Arthur.
