Chapter 228: 209. How did the child hide

"Did you throw up?" The most basic reaction to allergy is vomiting and diarrhea. Seeing that Lina shook her head, and probing her forehead, he found that her body temperature was normal, but her face was pale.

"What’s the situation? Did you figure it out?"

Mario Jensen noticed that Lina was somewhat resistant to his touch, and her emotions displayed resistance as well. Consequently, he couldn’t help but become irritated.

"According to my observations, Miss Lina doesn’t have any health problems. There’s no abnormality, just her pale complexion, which seems to be caused by fatigue!"

Ethan Stones gave him an annoyed glance, but from Lina’s appearance, it seems that she had been working hard for this man, and he knew that they had been pulling all-nighters to finish their new movie.

"Just fatigue? Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with her body?" Mario Jensen said as he lowered his head again to examine Lina’s pale little face, before asking, "Then why is her face so pale?"

Hearing this, Ethan Stones looked at the man holding the woman with great disdain and scoffed: "You should ask yourself! Our superstar has so many schedules in the day, and yet, she still has to serve you at night. If her face looked good, now that would be strange!"

Mario Jensen: "..."

When did she ever have to serve him at night?

In a moment, the always innocent Mario Jensen finally understood the meaning of Ethan Stones’ words from Lina’s awkward face.

"Ethan Stones, what nonsense are you talking about? Lina is a decent young lady; don’t ruin her reputation, or I’ll kill you!"

Mario Jensen didn’t know where his anger came from, but he yelled at Ethan Stones. Perhaps it was because he felt guilty for what he had done to Lina, fearing that someone might find out.

"Alright, alright, you said she’s a young lady, so if anyone ruins her reputation, it’s you!"

Ethan Stones looked at Mario Jensen with a smile, then left him some anti-allergy medicine, and left the room. Just when he reached the door, he couldn’t help but tease him one more time, "By the way, Mario, holding such a beautiful woman late at night, if you can resist and show pity, I can only say that you are my idol!"

Anyway, he is definitely going to mess up the bed sheets by holding a woman late at night!

Mario Jensen: "..." Are all men beasts?

Is it normal for a man to be unable to resist when holding a woman at night?

Chewing on Ethan Stones’ words, Mario Jensen awkwardly lowered his head only to see the woman’s pale face suddenly blushing with embarrassment, realizing how intimate their current position was.

"Ahem, you’ve been throwing up for so long, I’ll make you some porridge. After finishing it, you can take the medicine and then rest!"

He gently put her on the sofa, but as he turned around, he remembered her anxious expression and, fearing that she might lock herself up in her room again, he explained kindly, "Don’t move, just sit there and don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you, alright?"

Lina’s apartment wasn’t big; she had always lived alone. A bigger house would feel empty and lonely, so her house wasn’t that big; on the contrary, it was a bit small. Mario Jensen walked just a few steps to the kitchen door, and when he said these words, he looked back at her. His deep eyes seemed to be filled with soft light, like a meteor in the dark night, brilliantly beautiful but fleeting.

It was warm but brief, and Lina knew that this gentleness didn’t belong to her. Still, her heart sank bit by bit, then she nodded gently, "Alright!"

As the word "alright" fell, her heart clenched as she watched the man turn around and enter the kitchen. It felt like her heart had been forcibly grabbed, and the pain began. The more she loved this man, the more her heart hurt now.

From the first day she saw him, she knew that there would be no future between them, but she still fell hopelessly in love with a man whose heart was full and couldn’t fit anyone else. So all these years, she had been silently loving him, standing by his side, quietly accompanying him in his loneliness for another person.

If it wasn’t for this accident, Lina thought, she would continue to accompany him quietly, accompanying him until they grew old alone. But now... since she’s carrying his child, how can she continue to stay quietly by his side?

He has someone in his heart, unable to give her love, and she doesn’t want to make things difficult for him or use a child to force someone with someone else in their heart to take responsibility. For her, even though he didn’t love her, just seeing him was happiness enough. But for him, it would be torture.

She was an actress and had played countless roles and read countless scripts over the years. She knew better than anyone else the pain and torment of being tied down by love due to guilt. She didn’t want him to suffer, she just wanted him to be fine, and if possible, she wished Ivy Aretha could return to his side so he could live happily and joyfully again.

There’s a saying: If you are well, it’s a sunny day!

Those who haven’t truly loved wouldn’t understand this, and those who have loved would only need one glance to make tears fill their eyes!

When Mario Jensen brought out the millet porridge from the kitchen, she was in such a state, her weak figure leaning against the sofa, her pale eyes holding back two lines of tears. Her scattered gaze fell on the switched-off TV in front of her. Those usually vivacious eyes were now blank and empty, her hands holding her belly. At the sight of that, Mario Jensen’s heart stopped beating for a moment...

"Lina, is your stomach hurting again?" Mario Jensen hurriedly brought the porridge to her, his stride more like running. "Here, take a sip first, then we’ll take the medicine. After that, you’ll be alright!"

By the time Lina reacted, she was already nestled in the man’s arms, the scoop of porridge hovering near her mouth. So, she obediently opened her mouth, swallowing the spoonfuls of porridge the man fed her. The porridge was quite hot, but the man blew on it to cool it down slightly before giving it to her.

She had never seen Mario Jensen be so gentle and considerate, not like a man at all. In her heart, Mario Jensen was a born businessman, and such woman-like things did not suit him. However, she never expected that she would have the chance to see him like this.

Her heart softened instantly, and as soon as she stopped her tears, her eyes began to fill again with a sour sensation. She was an actress, and her tears had always been close to the surface. If she didn’t try to withhold them, her tears would have fallen into the porridge already.

"I can’t eat anymore!"

"Alright, alright, if you can’t eat, then don’t. Don’t cry, okay?"

Mario Jensen could tell at a glance that the woman was desperately trying to hold back her grievances, and after the recent sobbing, her beautiful eyes were about to overflow with tears again!
