Chapter 5
They struggled for half an hour
Finally, they had no choice but to call an ambulance.
The two were carried onto the ambulance in a bizarre position
I stood on the balcony, watching the ambulance gradually disappear from sight.
Only
y then did 1 return to the guest room
The baby was sleeping sweetly in the crib, completely unaware of what had happened.
1 stroked his little face, silently making a promise
Baby, don’t worry
Mom will protect you:[]
Then, my gaze fell on the pink bottle on the bed.
Good
They used it all.

Mark and Lisa didn’t return until the next evening
One walking with his thighs pressed together!
One with her butt clenched.]
They hobbled in one after another.]
Their postures looked very strange.
I had to pinch my palm hard to keep from laughing out loud
“Where were you? I haven’t seen either of you all day? [
Tasked with feigned concern, my gaze moving between them
An unnatural expression flashed across Mark’s face, his eyes avoiding mine.]]
“The company had something urgent, I was busy all day. I just happened to run into Lisa downstairs, so we came back together.”
His voice was floating, completely unconvincing.
I turned, my gaze landing on Lba.]
Lisa, why did you disappear all day without saying anything? I was worried something happened to you.“]
Lisa’s face was frighteningly pale, her lips trembling slightly
Obviously, she hadn’t found a suitable excuse
She could only stammer: “Miss Evans, L.“[
Seeing this, Mark quickly covered for her:[]
“Lisa had some family issues, she asked me for leave. I was so h
so busy I forgot to tell you.”
Lisa quickly nodded in agreement, afraid I would continue questioning
“Miss Evans. I’ll go take care of the baby now.”
I waved my hand, my tone relaxed:[]
“No need, my parents said they miss the baby, so they’re taking care him for a few days. You can take it easy too.”
Lisa froze for a moment, finally responding quietly
“Then I go make dinner for you now.“[|]
I nodded, my tone flat: “Go ahead“]
She sneaked a glance at Mark, her eyes full of grievance.]
But Mark was already struggling enough, with no energy to comfort her.
Lisa could only turn away, slowly shuffling into the kitchen with her buttocks clenched
Her back looked quite miserable!
Every step seemed to be enduring tremendous pain
Honestly.
1 felt sorry for her.
Working like a mule by day, acting like a prostitute by night.]
And still having to cook for me while injured.
How pitiful
The clatter of pots and pans came from the kitchen.
Lisa’s movements were clearly much slower than usual.[]
Mark bit his lip tightly, holding the edge of the sofa as he slowly sat down
The p
e pain on his face was almost overflowing, but he still held it in without making a sound.]]
I pretended not to notice his abnormality
I walked to his side, affectionately put my arms around his neck, and plated myself on his lap
siglions at
I deliberately wiggled around while pouting:
“Babe, the baby’s not home, we can finally have some couple time.”
Mark’s body suddenly stiffened, his face turning ugly
His fingers gripped the edge of the sofa tightly, has knuckles turning white from the pressure.
