Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Angela glanced at the needle on her arm, then at the infirmary bed she was lying on. She turned her head away and said to Richard, “I can take care of myself. You should go and rest.”

From her actions, she wasn’t even giving him a chance to take care of her.

“Do you not want to see me that badly?”

Because of his words, Angela turned around to look at him, only to see the man by the bed propping his hands on his legs and his eyes drooping slightly, with only the tall bridge of his nose visible, leaving her unsure of what he was thinking.

“As long as you don’t want to see me, I can promise that I won’t show up in front of you again.” Richard raised his head, and his eyes were extremely calm, as if he said was an order, and he would see it through to the end.

Angela’s breath stopped as she looked at him, feeling afraid that he would disappear forever.

“Then, will you marry Annie?” she hurriedly asked him.

“I won’t,” Richard replied flatly, his voice sounding a little hoarse. His eyes fell on her, as if he wanted to say something but wasn’t able to speak.

“You can’t treat her like this.” In her panic, Angela hurriedly sat up and stared at him.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Richard’s lips. “Who are you to tell me that I have to marry her?”

Angela was stunned. She suddenly found this man unfamiliar, and there was a high and mighty air around him that made her afraid. If he didn’t give them a chance, no woman would even have the possibility of getting close to him, and Angela had now lost the right to approach him and do whatever she wanted.

“You…” Angela’s face turned red as she was rendered speechless.

“From now on, I won’t show up in front of you anymore. You can recuperate with peace of mind, and you don’t have to worry that Annie will hate you. It has nothing to do with you even if I cancel the wedding.” After Richard finished speaking, he picked up the coat draped on the back of the chair next to him and walked toward the door.

“Where are you going?” Angela blurted out in alarm.

Richard turned around slightly. “To a place where you won’t be able to see me.”

Angela’s breath caught in her throat. Though she wanted him to stay away from her, why did her heart hurt so badly when he actually made sure that he would never see her again?

All of a sudden, there was a tingling pain in her heart, like someone sticking a needle in her chest, which made her gasp in pain. She pressed her hand tightly on her chest, trying to stop the pain, but she still broke into a cold sweat from the agony.

Richard, who had just arrived at the door, heard a groan from behind him. When he turned his head and took a look, he hurried back on his long legs in an instant. He leaned over and looked at the pale girl who was clutching her chest, his voice filled with worry as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It hurts… My heart hurts.” Angela felt that her heart was about to shatter into pieces.

“Okay, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay with you. I won’t leave.” Richard’s tone softened, and he apologized to her in a restrained and low voice, “I’m sorry.”

Angela was taken aback. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. The moment she met his gentle eyes, it was as if the rope tightened around her heart had loosened a little, and the pain. gradually subsided until it faded into nothing. Was the cause of her severe heartache just now related to this man?

Angela looked up at Richard. He was looking at her intently as well; it was as if time had stopped at this moment. When she saw the remorse flashing in the man’s eyes, she suddenly burst into tears.

She felt so helpless and desperate. She couldn’t leave him, but she couldn’t stay by his side either; she didn’t know where to place him in her heart.

Richard continued to remain seated by her side, annoyed by his cold behavior just now. She was suffering from a high fever, causing not only her mental state but her entire body to be weakened, but he had treated her like that. Clearly, she would get even more hurt.

Richard watched her gaze lower as her tears fell onto the blanket. When he picked up the tissue on the side and handed it to her, Angela stretched out her hand to take it, wiping her tears with them.

Her head still felt fuzzy, and even her heart felt heavy. She had never felt so weak before, like a child who had to be protected and taken care of. At the same time, Richard’s cold treatment earlier also made her inexplicably sad, as if he was cutting her off.

Due to the medicine and her fever, she slowly became drowsy and lay down. As the blanket was a tad too thin, she subconsciously curled up into a ball.

Sensing this, Richard walked to another bed and spread out another blanket on top of her before he gently comforted, “Go to sleep. I’ll stay here with you.”

“It’s fine. You should go back and sleep.” Angela shook her head. If he were here, her sleep would be affected even more.

At her words, Richard had no choice but to get up. “I’ll ask a nurse to come and look after you.”

After he left, Angela pursed her red lips, feeling angry that she didn’t fight back earlier, and feeling furious at herself for easily getting so angered by him that her heart ached. It shocked her. When did this man become so important to her? Would she be unable to live without him?

She had a restless sleep that night. After having several consecutive nightmares, she felt weak and tired. Even the nurse felt sorry for her, and took a hot towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead a few times. As dawn broke on an early winter morning, Angela slept very deeply, perhaps because she hadn’t gotten much rest the previous night.

Meanwhile, Richard stood by the entrance and listened as the nurse reported to him about what happened on the previous night.

“Miss Angela’s fever has gone down, and she only has a mild fever now, but she kept having nightmares last night and woke up many times. Captain Lloyd, you should talk to her.”

Richard nodded slightly, and the nurse moved aside for him. When he pushed the door open, a trace of warm winter sunlight trickled in from the window, while the girl in bed curled up with morbidly pale skin, still deep in sleep.

Richard sat down and looked at her face, falling deep into thought. What should he do with her? Should he send her back to her parents or let her stay here for a period of time?

Just like that, Angela slept until two in the afternoon. She felt as if someone was staying with her, but when she opened her eyes, there wasn’t anyone in sight.

She couldn’t help but sit up and sigh. Why did she feel like someone was with her?

Just then, the nurse walked in with a tray of medicine for her to take.

“Was someone sitting by my side earlier?” Angela asked curiously.

“Oh. No, there wasn’t. Since this morning, no one has come to visit you,” the nurse replied. However, she felt dubious as she wondered why Richard had been here for most of the day, but asked her not to tell Angela that he had been here when he left.

Angela’s eyes turned downcast. He hadn’t been here either? It made sense. Now that she asked him to avoid her, he would definitely not come to see her again.

She swallowed the bitter medicine only wanting to get better soon so that she could return to the city, back to her warm house, and stay with her parents.

The fact that Angela was sick had also reached Ariel’s ears, and she was ecstatic at the news. Angela must be badly hurt. She also heard that Richard was not at the base either, and this made her wonder. Did she succeed in breaking them up?

In the evening, Trevor and Jared came to visit Angela and brought her an iPad. They taught her how to play games and cheered her up in various ways, but they didn’t mention Richard. Though Angela happily accepted their concern, there was a question she kept thinking about. However, even as they were leaving, she wasn’t able to say anything.
