Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Twice Unfilial (Part 2)
Slept with her.
She is his wife, it’s only natural for him to sleep with her.
This thought crazily circled in his mind, almost making him unable to stop himself from stepping forward.
"..." Raina North noticed Elias Hawthorne’s odd behavior and was fully guarded, saying, "Elias Hawthorne, calm down! If you dare to use force, I’ll dare to cripple you."
"If you don’t care about your lifelong happiness, go ahead." Elias Hawthorne said, then took a step forward and reached out to scoop Raina North out of the bathtub.
"Elias Hawthorne!" Raina North growled and struck Elias Hawthorne.
But after being ravaged by medication and soaking in cold water, her body’s strength had almost dissipated, leaving her weak and easily controlled by Elias Hawthorne.
Seeing Elias Hawthorne’s predatory gaze, Raina North instantly cowered: "Um... Elias Hawthorne, calm down."
"I’m very calm." Elias Hawthorne’s big hand gripped her waist, his rough thumb rubbing through her clothes.
Raina North’s body couldn’t help but shiver, her eyes becoming even more wary.
Elias Hawthorne felt Raina North’s rigidity and rejection, his heart chilled; he took a deep breath: "Behave, Wanda Woods brought medicine. I’ll take you out."
Raina North was stunned and before she could speak, Elias Hawthorne bent down and lifted her in his arms.
Raina North uncontrollably snuggled against Elias Hawthorne’s chest, this close proximity letting her smell the cool, pine-like scent on the man.
This scent felt very familiar to her, as if she had smelled it before, always hidden deep within her memory.
Yet she had never seen Elias Hawthorne before; if it weren’t for the child, she would never have had any connection with such a man in her life.
Carrying Raina North, Elias Hawthorne walked out, placing her on the bed and wrapping her tightly in blankets, to the point that, if allowed, he wouldn’t even want to leave a strand of hair exposed.
Wanda Woods stood by watching clearly, suddenly feeling somewhat redundant.
Though the medicine was strong, it wasn’t necessary to resolve it with medication; men could also help.
However, no matter how much Wanda Woods wished to complain, she wouldn’t dare utter a single word.
"Come over and take a look at her."
Wanda Woods promptly walked over without delay, reviewed Raina North’s symptoms once more, and then brought out the prepared medication.
Raina North didn’t immediately put it in her mouth; she carefully smelled it and, after identifying the ingredients, placed it in her mouth.
Seeing Wanda Woods continuously watching her: "Sorry, it’s a professional habit."
"Understandable," Wanda Woods was not displeased.
The medication Wanda Woods prepared worked well, and Raina North soon felt significantly better; afterward, she took out silver needles and quickly pierced several acupuncture points.
Wanda Woods watched the silver needles emitting a low hum, her eyes growing more solemn: "Raina North, sorry, I should call you Mrs. Hawthorne."
"No need, just call me Raina North."
Wanda Woods nodded: "The technique you just used with the needles seemed like the Ghost Doctor Thirteen Needles technique."
Raina North smiled: "Director Woods, you have a keen eye."
"It truly is." Wanda Woods became particularly excited; the Ghost Doctor Thirteen Needles are widely known, in legends, they possess miraculous effects like reviving the dead and healing bones.
Of course, this is just a legend, but the Ghost Doctor Thirteen Needles are indeed quite amazing, yet few have witnessed it.
Mainly because the needle technique is extremely difficult; she had witnessed the curator use it once by chance.
Now hearing Raina North’s admission, her gaze towards her instantly changed.
