Loving The Temperamental Adonis
Chapter 205: I’ve missed you

Chapter 205: I’ve missed you

"I feel okay..."she whispered softly, looking into the depth of his grey eyes that bored into hers. She’d lost so much weight Neil couldn’t help but want to take her home and nurse her back to health, her hand felt and looked so fragile in his he felt like she’d break if he were to add even a little pressure. The more he looked at her the more guilty he felt for being the cause of her condition and putting her at risk.

"Neil, is our child alright?" She asked when she saw the guilt in his eyes and felt his hand flattened on her lower abdomen. She placed her hand against his and waited for his answer, and when she saw him nod his head, a cry of relief escaped her lips. However, it was short-lived when the doctor he’d summoned walked in at that moment before he could say more to her.

"Miss Harrison, I’m glad to see you awake," said the young female doctor who’d walked in with two nurses following behind her. Mia managed a smile as she acknowledged the doctor’s words, but she couldn’t help but notice how pretty and young the woman was and how elegantly she walked in like a model rather than a doctor.

"What’s the result of the pregnancy check-up you did?" It was Neil who asked the question, his expression passive and detached when speaking to the beautiful female doctor, who by her look of shocked disbelief, was used to male admiration but Neil’s indifference took her by surprise. Her mesmerizing smile slowly began to fade as she recalled the scene Neil had created in the hospital when he brought Mia in and a male doctor was sent to attend to her as the female doctors in the City hospital weren’t available at that time.

He’d been petty enough to call the CEO of the City hospital that was known to be the number one in Mirage Mesa, and demanded for a female doctor to be sent down to his woman’s room in ten seconds or else he’d make sure he destroys them all. Knowing the recent news about Wayner being released and everyone wanting to please him to make amends for their mistake, they’d sent Doctor Lauren and ordered her to be in the VVIP room in ten seconds.

She’d hurried here not knowing she was about to meet the most temperamental handsome man she’d ever set eyes on. He looked like a male model from a magazine, and his eyes were the most intoxicating silver eyes she’d ever seen. Though despite the fact that she was a doctor, she’d always had male admiring gaze on her in the hospital, they’d always complimented her looks. She’d even had a married man whose wife was on a sick bed and she was her doctor, asked her on a date.

When she’d first seen Neil, she’d expected that from him as well, but he’d surprised her when he glared murderously at her and ordered her to start the treatment on his woman immediately. His voice hadn’t been friendly nor gentle, and because he was making her so nervous with his intense grey eyes, she’d asked him to step outside.

He’d been so protective of Mia Harrison the whole time she was unconscious that he’d gotten some bodyguards to stand outside the hospital room. From all that, Lauren knew not to mess with Neil Wayner or Mia Harrison, who she’d heard the nurses in the hospital whispering about the rumors of her being an online whore.

Dr. Lauren tried to mask her disappointment at the fact that Neil Wayner didn’t admire her like most men, and spoke with a reassuring smile, she addressed the anxious Mia instead of the intimidating man sitting beside her, "Well, it’s not all bad news, but I want to be honest with you. Miss Harrison, your recent tests have shown some concerning signs. Your body hasn’t been getting the nourishment and rest it needs, and it’s affecting both you and the baby."

Furrowing her brows in concern, Mia glanced up at Neil then the doctor, "Is my baby okay?" She asked the only question that mattered to her.

Dr. Lauren nodded reassuringly, "The baby is hanging in there, but I have to be frank with you both. If we don’t address these issues, there’s a risk of complications, including the possibility of a miscarriage."

Noticing the worry clouding Mia’s face, Neil gently squeezed her hand while using his other hand to stroke the little bump in her stomach as he spoke to the doctor, "What can we do to make everything normal?"

Dr. Lauren noticed his affectionate gesture of comforting his woman while he spoke to her, she couldn’t help but envy Mia as she replied, "First and foremost, Miss Harrison, you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Make sure you’re eating nutritious meals, getting enough rest, and managing your stress levels. We’ll also need to monitor you more closely with more frequent check-ups. ."

After Dr. Lauren finished explaining everything that needed to be done, she removed the IV drip and said she’d send some attendants to help Mia freshen up but Neil was quick to object to that and volunteered to do it himself. He’d bathed with Mia before in the cabin, it wasn’t something new to him.

Smiling at the red color evident on Mia’s cheeks at the notion that he’d bathe her, Neil ignored the doctor’s presence and helped Mia up from the bed. Before he carried her to the bathroom, he sent a message to Zephyr outside to drive down to one of the famous restaurants next to the hospital and get every single list of Mia’s favorite dishes he sent to him and some nutritious drinks.

Zephyr who received the message outside the VVIP room couldn’t help but sigh heavily. He knew Neil was still mad at him after he’d failed to report to him about the incident of Mia being treated badly, but how was that his fault when he’d thought Miss Harrison had meant for him not to ever report anything to their boss after that day in the mall? And now he was paying the price by doing things beyond his work. He disliked being around people and his boss knew that, but then he’d sent him to a restaurant where he’d have to communicate with strangers instead of ordering the food.

He glanced down at the endless list sent to him and sighed once again.

As Zephyr left to get the food, Neil on the other hand was trying his damned best to focus only on bathing Mia rather than allow his lust to lead him into seducing her. He’d longed to be in bed with her and make love to her all night until they both couldn’t walk out of bed the next morning, but then she was not in a condition for that yet. They hadn’t gotten to sit and talk nor had he made his explaination to her yet, and the fact that she’d not questioned him of anything, made him want to get over with it.

He helped her out of her hospital gown and pulled her hair up, away from her breasts, leaving them exposed to his eyes, fighting back the strong urge to run his hands around their familiar shape, he swallowed audibly and moved his gaze away from them and instead began to gently wash her back, massaging her shoulders and back to release any tension from her muscles.

A moan of pleasure escaped Mia’s lips as his hand skillfully and tenderly messaged the side of her breasts, making her nipples harden and beg to be touched by him. She flushed to the root when her eyes met his silver ones through the mirror in front of the bathtub. Heat surged through her veins, sending her lower region throbbing with unattended desires. She’d missed him so much, she’d missed the feeling of him inside her to the extent his touches were reminding her of what his sinful hands could do to her.

She didn’t have to be told to know that he was feeling the same way but was holding back because she’d just recovered from a two days coma and hadn’t had anything to eat yet. She suddenly regretted agreeing to allow him assist her bath, they were torturing each other in the bathroom!

After what felt like an eternity, he finally completed helping her with the bath and dried her hair with the provided hairdryer in the VVIP room. Assisting her into another freshly laundered hospital gown from the closet, he then carried her back to the bed where numerous bags of takeout food awaited her.

Mia was taken aback when she noticed that most of the food were her favorites.

"How did you know what I like?" she inquired as he laid out the food on the bed table in front of her.

"Because you had mentioned it to me when we were in the mountains," he chuckled deeply, settling down on her bedside and preparing to feed her. Yet she blushed in embarrassment and attempted to take the spoon from his hand, saying, "I can feed myself."

"I am aware you can," he replied, his voice resonant and smooth, "but I am adamant about doing it."

Mia didn’t argue and obediently allowed him to feed her. She didn’t realize how hungry she was until she began to wolf down everything he offered. She ate so much that there was no room left in her stomach. When she told him she’d had enough, he nodded and suddenly leaned towards her, causing her to instinctively move back. He slipped his hand behind her head and used his mouth to lick off the custard sticking to the corner of her mouth, which she hadn’t noticed. He licked it off and then kissed her in the process, pulling back with a smirk on his face when she glared at him.

"Pervert!" She smacked his chest, but that only made him burst out laughing. She found herself smiling as well, noticing that when he laughed, his eyes crinkled at the corners. In contrast to the warm, slightly golden tan of his face, his eyes were a light metallic silver that always pulled her in. Beneath his straight dark brows and thick spiky lashes, they glinted with humor and keen intelligence, while his firm lips promised an exciting, aggressive male sensuality that would thrill any woman.

Mia felt the same delicious stirring of her senses that she always experienced in his presence and cautiously lowered her gaze to the rest of her untouched meals. Realizing that he’d been staying with her for two days straight, she somehow figured he must have neglected his daily meals like he always did in the past.

When he was about to rise from the bed, she quickly pulled back his hand and made him sit back down. "Now that I’m full, it’s your turn to eat," she said, opening the plate and picking up the spoon.

She didn’t allow him to try to protest, which he didn’t seem about to do, and began to feed him like he’d done to her. He obediently ate everything she gave him while staring at her as he chewed. The sight of his tongue peeking out of his mouth whenever he licked his lips, did crazy things to Mia’s body, and she tried to ignore his gaze on her the whole time while feeding him.

After she’d finished feeding him, Mia couldn’t control her exhaustion and ended up falling asleep when Neil was busy packing off her plates from the bed. The urge to use the restroom woke her up from her nap an hour later, she walked to the bathroom without assistance as her legs felt more steadier, and when she walked out, Neil was sitting on the sofa that was overlooking the glass walls of the room, he reached out for her hand, and she came wordlessly into his arms, kissing him with a silent desperation that matched his own, holding him to her, crushing her soft mouth to his, her hands rushing over him.

Neil clutched her tighter to him on the sofa, his lips ravaging hers, his hands hungrily memorizing her beloved form. The loud ringing of his phone in his pocket made them both jump, and he reached for it and turned it off without caring who was calling. He smiled to himself at the way Mia self-consciously lowered her eyes when he slowly began to unbutton his shirt.

"What...what if the call is an important one?" She asked, to distract herself with something rather than watch him remove his shirt.

"There’s nothing In this world that’s as important as you, my love," he whispered softly, watching a gorgeous blush climb her cheeks as she caught his unmistakable meaning.

Mia nervously rubbed her palms against her thighs. Dozens of questions raced through her mind as she sat here on his lap looking at him, doubt and uncertainty and hopes that nothing was ever going to separate them again, but over it all was a feeling of joyous unreality that he was actually sitting here with her, his silver eyes gentle, amused, sexy, "I still can’t believe you are a free man now and that you’re here with me, a few weeks ago, everything seemed so..."

"Empty?" He provided in a deep, compelling voice she’d longed to hear again, "And meaningless?" He added, using his finger to trace lazy lines around her chest.

She nodded, "And hopeless...Neil, why didn’t you contact me when you were released? I was sick of worrying and miserable...i..." Her voice broke as he pulled her into his arms and she touched his face, her fingers trembling, "Oh, God, I’ve missed you so much!"

Neil answered her with his mouth.
