FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Amelia’s Guilty Conscience
“Hey!” Blaze’s face lit up with a soft, captivating smile that radiated warmth, as he rose to his feet.

Pascal quietly exited the room to give the couple some privacy.

“You’re finally awake.” He said, his deep voice husky laced with immense happiness.

“Hi!” Amelia’s voice sounded croaked as she tried to speak. “You came.”

“Of course, I did.” Blaze bent over and kissed her first on the forehead before planting a gentle kiss on her dry lips making her cheek glow and her lips curve in a faint smile.

“Your work…”

“Shh…” Blaze cut her off, seeing the guilt in her eyes. “None of that matters. You are my priority and I’m here for you.” He said perching by the side of her bed, holding her right hand tenderly in his.

Amelia’s eyes glistened with tears at those words. “Thanks.” She blinked back her tears, squeezing his hands tenderly.

“You don’t have to thank me, my dear,” Blaze said stroking her hand. “I should be the one saying thank you for being strong for us. I was really scared after I heard your voice yesterday. You were in a lot of pain and I couldn’t do anything to take it away. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you.”

“You don’t have to be,” Amelia said softly as she raised her hand to stroke his flushed face, amazed to see him looking so emotionally vulnerable. “I’m okay.”

Blaze nodded and kissed her on the hand. He leaned closer so that their face was just a few inches apart while stroking her hair backwards. “Tell me, how do you feel?”

“Better, now that you’re here,” Amelia whispered, evoking a cosmic smile on his face. She giggled a little as he nuzzled her on the tip of her nose.

“Me too.” Blaze kissed her again on the lips.

“You know I threw up right and I’ve only rinsed my mouth with water.” Amelia reminded him slightly embarrassed by his kisses.

“Really!” Blaze raised an eyebrow. “How come you taste so good.”

“What!” Amelia chuckled. “You’re kidding right.”

“No,” Blaze said, kissing her deeply this time.

“Can you help me set up?” Amelia asked when their lips parted.

“Sure.” Blaze helped her into a sitting position by adjusting her bed head and the pillow behind her back. “Are you comfortable?”

“Yes. Thank you, sweetheart.”

“You’re welcome. Would you like anything else?”

Amelia nodded. “Water.”

Blaze quickly retrieved the bottle of water and glass by the bedside. He poured some of the water into the glass and raised it to her lips.

“I can drink by myself.” Amina lifted I had to collect the glass but Blaze moved it away from her grasp.

“Let me…” He said and she pouted. “Please.”

“Just this once.” Amelia accepted the water from him, her glistening eyes filled with so much love as she held his magical gaze.

Just then, a knock on the door disrupted the attender moment, making Amelia’s heart skip a bit.

Pascal opened the door from outside to let the doctor and some nurses in.

At the sight of Dr Ashley, Amelia felt her heart almost leap out of her chest.

All this while, she hadn’t thought about her pregnancy or anything else. She had been so carried away with Blaze’s affection that she forgot she was keeping something huge away from him.

“Good day, Mrs Anderson. I can see you up and smiling now that your husband is here.” Dr Ashley said jovially as you approached the couple.

“Good day, doctor.” Amelia laughed feverishly, while Blaze stood up to receive the doctor.

They all exchange brief pleasantries before Dr Ashley gets down to business with Blaze

“How is the pain? Is it subsiding?” Dr Ashley asked, taking Amelia’s improved vitals.

“Uh-huh.” Amelia nodded averting the doctor’s gaze, her body trembling slightly.

“Let’s examine you.” Dr Ashley turned to Blaze. “Would you like to wait outside while I examine your wife?”

“I don’t mind staying,” Blaze said, without moving from his spot.

“Very well.” Dr Ashley smiled politely and got back to her work, giving Amelia a reassuring wink.

“Oh God, please, help me remain calm.” Amelia prayed earnestly in her heart as she closed her eyes.

After the examination was over, Amelia listened to the doctor talk briefly about her food allergy and all the foods she should avoid for now. She watched as Blaze meticulously took notes on his phone as if he were writing an important examination.

“Dr Ashley, I would like to see you in private when you are less busy,” Blaze said as the doctor rounded up her activities.

“In private!” Amelia felt a cold shiver run down her spine at Blaze’s request. Her drumming heart threatened to leap out of her chest as the doctor said,

“Certainly, Mr Anderson. You can come down to my office in the next one hour when I’m done with my ward round.”

“Thank you. I’ll…” Blaze paused when he tilted his head to look at Amelia. He was shocked to notice how pale she had become.

“Baby, are you alright?” Blaze asked, walking up to her and taking her trembling hands into his.

Amelia simply nodded, words failing her as she tried not to look in the doctor’s direction.

“But you’re sweating and your hands are cold,” Blaze noted in a slightly panicked voice, his gaze shifting to the doctor for an explanation.

“I’m sure it is nothing.” Dr Ashley came to Amelia’s rescue smiling at her while giving her a sign to start calm.

“I just gave her some drugs now and I believe she is responding positively to it. Although she hasn’t eaten anything since last night. I’ll suggest she eat a little and lie down. But if she doesn’t feel like eating, you don’t need to worry. The IV fluid going into her system will seek that out.”

Blaze wasn’t completely convinced until Amelia patted him on the back of his hand and reassured him that she was fine.

Before Dr Ashley finally left the couple alone, she informed Blaze that Amelia would be placed on compulsory bed rest for the next one week to enable her to recover properly.
