I married an old-fashioned doctor. He always said I was too young. Yet he was willing to unbutton his shirt to keep my sister warm. Disheartened, I sighed. He said, "Just talk. Can you button my shirt back up first?" I ran away from home. He caught me at a hotel: "Not coming home? Planning to elope with that brat?" "Did he know you have to cuddle me to sleep every night?" "Speak." That night, I was terrified. I had never seen Dr. Lee lose control like that. 1. I woke up from a nap at 6:30 PM. Calculating the time, Adrian Lee should be off work. [Hubby, are you off work?] [Can I come pick you up?] [A new bakery opened on Food Street. The cupcakes look so pretty! I want to eat them! Look!] Shutterstock I put down my phone. I put on makeup and changed my clothes. An hour passed. The chat box still only had my ramblings. Adrian hadn't replied. I patted my cheeks, cheering myself up. It's normal. Adrian is a doctor. Work is busy. He can't always reply instantly. Forget it, I'll just go to the hospital to pick him up. Just as I was about to leave, I got a call from my mom. "Luna, where are you?" "Come to the hospital quickly!" "Something happened to your sister!" 2. Rushing to the hospital, I saw Adrian first. My sister was crying, saying something I couldn't hear. He sighed. Unbuttoned his white coat and draped it over my sister's shoulders. My steps paused. My mom saw me: "Luna, come here!" I pretended nothing was wrong. Walking over, I realized my sister was covered in blood. "Sis! What happened! Are you okay?" My sister's face was pale. She smiled and said, "It's okay, this isn't my blood. Don't worry." My sister encountered a car accident. As a doctor, she gave first aid on the roadside. My mom saw her covered in blood on the news. Scared, she called me. My sister wiped her tears and said, "Thanks to Adrian. He accepted this batch of patients. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do." Adrian shook his head: "It's nothing. Just doing my job." My sister's eyes reddened again: "Just a pity, a few of them couldn't be saved..." As she spoke, she sobbed softly. Adrian handed her a tissue and said, "You did your best." My sister shook her head, saying, "No. If I had been a little faster, appeared a little earlier, maybe I could have saved them." I patted my sister's shoulder to comfort her. Only then did Adrian seem to notice me, turning his head to ask, "Why are you here?" I froze for a moment, replying blankly: "To pick you up from work." "No need. I have to work overtime tonight. You go back first." Adrian's voice was always steady, no matter who he was talking to. "Oh." He was already walking away. My sister stood up and chased after him: "I happen to be free. Is there anything I can help with?" The two left together. I looked at their backs. Truly a perfect match. 3. When Adrian came back, it was deep into the night. He slept in the guest room. Always like this. Married for half a year, he refused to touch me. Every time we were together, he would say: "You're still too young." "Be good, listen." I didn't want to listen. I got up. Like every night, I crawled into his bed. Adrian had just showered, wearing a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his hair onto his collarbone. I swallowed and heard him say: "Come here." I ran over foolishly. He gave me his slippers. "Not wearing shoes again." It's this time already. Who cares about shoes? I pounced on him, ready to devour him. Ah, abs. Ah, V-line. Ah... Adrian pushed me away. His gaze was a bit unnatural. The towel tented up slightly. Adrian fled in defeat. "I'm going to take another shower." I hugged him from behind. "Adrian Lee, do you plan to hide from me forever?" "Either consummate the marriage, or divorce." "You choose." 4. Adrian was very stiff. His body was hot yet cold. The little girl's small hands were like fire, igniting flames wherever they touched. "Luna, listen, you're still too young." "I'm not young. I'm graduating next year." I walked in front of Adrian. His eyes held emotions I couldn't understand, suppressing something. I cupped his face, looking into his dark eyes. "Hubby, don't you want me?" The next moment. Kisses overwhelmed me. Landing all over my body. Water droplets from Adrian's hair hit me. Very cold, a bit stinging. He picked me up. His whole being wrapped around me. It hurt. I felt his deep possessiveness. Burning hot. Different from his usual calm demeanor towards everything. I could feel he was loving me fiercely. That night was long. Couldn't stop at all. We tossed and turned until the sun rose. I was so sleepy I couldn't take it anymore, finally begging for mercy repeatedly. I only heard Adrian's hoarse voice: "Call me Hubby." "Hubby." His bite mark landed on my back. I passed out. 5. When I woke up, Adrian wasn't by my side. "Urgent task at the hospital. I'll try to come back early. Food is warm in the pot, eat when you wake up." I let out a long sigh of relief. Covered the marks all over my body with the quilt. Turned over, wanting to sleep a bit more. My phone vibrated non-stop. It was my friend, Sam. I picked up: "Spit it out." My voice was frighteningly hoarse. Sam was startled: "Grandma, do you have a fever again? Why do you sound like Marge Simpson?" It was from screaming last night. Adrian, that psycho. Tormenting me in all kinds of ways. I blushed and said: "None of your business. What is it?" "Oh, the thing you asked me to check before, I checked it." "What thing?" I forgot. "About Adrian and your sister. Didn't you suspect there was something between them? You forgot?" I really... forgot. Remembering my sister crying yesterday, my heart sank. "What... did you find out?" Sam sighed, his tone rarely serious. "Luna, are you sure you want to know?" "If you don't want to hear it now, it's not too late."
