Chapter 378: Chapter 357: Wait for the Clouds to Clear to See the Moonlight

"Alright, come back early tonight, and I’ll cook something delicious for you!"

Ivy Aretha raised her head and kissed the man’s chin, then added with a light chuckle, "But my cooking skills are mediocre, as you know. It’s the thought that counts. These days have been tough on you, sweetheart!"

Ivy Aretha had never been one to soften others. She’d always imagined that saying such words would make her uncomfortable. However, when she actually said them, she found that the goosebumps she thought she would feel never came. Instead, she felt the excitement of wanting to express her deep love!

"It’s not tough!"

Having Queen Aretha cook for him as a gesture of consolation made Mr. Gordon feel incredibly flattered. But then, wasn’t this kind of "Queen" supposed to serve others?

Of course she would, but it seemed like he couldn’t bear to let her cook!

"But honey, you said it’s the thought that counts, so I think..." Michael’s deep peach-blossom eyes radiated a playful smile and, all of a sudden, he lowered his head, his lazy voice tenderly entering Ivy’s ears, "When it comes to expressing feelings, the bed is more suitable than the kitchen. Besides, the kitchen is too hard... So..."

"The kitchen is too hard?" Ivy raised her eyebrows without thinking, nodded quite seriously, and then pinched the man’s waist the next moment, "Isn’t the bed hard?"

The bed was much more tiring than the kitchen, okay!

Every time he was done with her, she felt sore and exhausted the next day!

"That’s right, the bed is hard for me!" Mr. Gordon said with a devilish smile and a clear conscience, "You just have to lie down and enjoy!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

But sweetheart, are you sure I’m enjoying it?

After Michael Gordon returned to the company, Ivy went to see Lina Miller. Lina was still unconscious and would not wake up for a few more hours. When Fabian Nala saw Ivy come around, he got up to leave: "Ivy, can you watch for me? I need to deal with some things. I’ll be right back!"

Lina could say that she had a close brush with death this time. The cause was a new artist from Jensen Entertainment Corporation who needed advice in some areas. The artist invited Lina, but unfortunately, they had a car accident on the way back. The artist was now lying in the same hospital with minor injuries.

With this incident, Fabian Nala naturally would hold someone accountable later. He never brought the company’s affairs home, but now that his wife and child were almost dead, he had to deal with his useless subordinates who dared to cause such trouble!

"You go ahead, I’ll watch here!"

"Thank you, Ivy!"

Fabian Nala sincerely thanked her before turning around and leaving. If it hadn’t been for Lucas Sandy’s timely arrival, he would have lost his precious baby girl, especially considering Lina’s willingness to risk her life to protect their child!

She’ll definitely be heartbroken for a while!

Ivy didn’t say "you’re welcome." She knew that if she didn’t let him say thank you, the feelings of relief in his heart would not fade!

Ivy looked down at the ashen-faced Lina lying on the hospital bed and couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. Lina was probably the strongest woman she had ever met. When Fabian Nala unintentionally made her pregnant, she didn’t tell anyone and quietly hid away to give birth to the child alone!

If she had been alone today, how would she have handled the situation?

Luckily, all of that was in the past. After escaping a major disaster, blessings were sure to follow. A strong woman like her should receive heaven’s favor, "Lina, you are so lucky now. You have a husband who loves you, a lovely baby, and such a wonderful mother-in-law. This happiness is something that many people can’t attain even if they pray for it!"

After meeting Fabian Nala’s mother and hearing how she spoke, Ivy believed that even if Lina’s background was similar to her own, she would not suffer the same hardships. In this regard, Ivy truly felt happy for her!

Soon Mrs. Jensen entered the ward with the baby in her arms!

Ivy was puzzled, "Auntie, isn’t it best for the prematurely born baby to stay in a cooler box?"

Although the doctor had said there were no problems with the baby, she was born premature after all!

"I’m afraid that if Lina wakes up and doesn’t see the baby, she’ll worry and become emotional. So, I asked the doctor to bring the cooler box to this ward!"

Mrs. Jensen said, holding the baby, while gesturing at the cooler box being pushed in behind her, "This silly girl would risk her life to protect the child! If she wakes up and doesn’t see the baby, she might think we had to sacrifice the baby to save her and would be inconsolable. That would be a big issue during her postpartum period!"

"Auntie, you are so thoughtful!"

As Ivy helped and chatted with her, she found that Fabian Nala’s mother had a great personality. She genuinely considered Lina as her own treasure. Ivy truly envied her in her heart!

Ivy had been an orphan since childhood and never knew what maternal love was. Now that she was married, Michael Gordon’s mother had already passed away, so she didn’t even have a mother-in-law!

Her heart was genuinely filled with envy!

Ivy stayed with her until Fabian Nala returned, at which point Michael Gordon came to pick her up after work. Lina had to be admitted to the hospital after this major injury. Lucas Sandy left after performing the surgery, leaving the rest to be handled by a team of specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. After all, Lucas Sandy was not a doctor in their field.

Instead of following the usual childbirth procedures, he took a surgical approach, achieving what those Obstetrics and Gynecology experts could not!

He saved Lina’s life!

When Lina woke up, it was already the next morning!

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Fabian Nala sleeping at the edge of her bed, his large hand firmly holding hers. On his usually cold and handsome face, there was evident fatigue. His sharply outlined features were tightly drawn, always maintaining a vigilant expression, ready to wake up at any moment!

Lina reached out to caress his face but hesitated, fearing she would disturb him and prevent him from sleeping. Yesterday, when she was lying on the operating table, she remembered every word he said to her through his tears!

He said that from the moment he met her, he wanted to protect her for the rest of her life and be good to her. However, he didn’t know it was love at the time. So he loved her for many years, and slowly, as time went by, he finally understood that it was love!

She never felt jealous of Ivy Aretha, the woman from his childhood who had been his crush. She wished them happiness together. However, she had secretly fantasized that if one day the goddess in his heart no longer appeared, or if she was no longer available, perhaps he would see her standing beside him!

And now, he said he loved her!

After nearly ten years, it seemed as though the clouds had cleared and the bright moon emerged!

The man she loved now loved her too, and they even had a lovely child named Nana Jensen. She once said that a promise lasts a lifetime and never changes!
