Military Hospital.

Charlotte had been quite restless until midnight last night, and then she snuck back into the hospital room at 3 a.m. She slept until noon.

Ricky was already in the ward guarding her, and when he saw her wake up, he asked anxiously, "Miss, how are you doing? I'm sorry I couldn't hold back yesterday... I'm sorry. How are you feeling now?" His eyes shifted to the belly of Charlotte.

After all, Charlotte was hospitalized and recuperating to keep the baby. Last night they met privately and talked about it, but eventually both of them lost control and comforted each other a bit.

"It's okay for now, I don't feel any discomfort. Next time you go a little lighter. Look at the rush you're in."

Charlotte sat up and gently rubbed her belly.

Damn, Thomas's kid was really tough as nails, and nothing happened after all that tossing and turning last night.

"Good. I will refrain. As long as you're satisfied."

Ricky looked at her ambiguously. Last night it was actually she who kept yelling at him to push harder.

"Nasty."

Charlotte pouted and glared at him, "The hospital's pills are really effective. Unfortunately, after all that tossing and turning last night, I'm afraid I'll have to lie down for a few more days to avoid an accident." She had to round up the lies for herself.

After all, Ricky thought she was really having a hard time and that's why she didn't even go to the Capital for Rodney's funeral and stayed in the military hospital.

After they met yesterday, they had a moment of passion and both of them couldn't hold back. If she said she had nothing at all, she was afraid Ricky would get suspicious.

"It's been hard work. It's all my fault."

Ricky slipped his hand under the covers and gently squeezed her thigh, "I brought you the breakfast you love. Unfortunately, it's noon now. What do you want for lunch, I'll go get it for you right away." "Well, there's a Pizza Hut across the street, I'll have that."

Charlotte was indeed hungry.

"By the way, I snuck out last night and came back in the middle of the night. I wonder if the nurses noticed."

She was a little worried.

"I've taken care of it, and the nurse came by just before 12:00. Because you weren't here, the nurse recorded it in the computer."

Ricky explained, "When I came in this morning, I told the nurse you had gone for a walk in the garden and accidentally fell asleep on the garden bench. I'm the one who sent you back. It just so happened that the nurse was checking the room at 5 a.m. You were here, so the nurse deleted the record of your absence last night."

"Oh, it's good to have you."

Charlotte smiled.

"Then I'll get going now."

Ricky was just about to go out, but unexpectedly the door of the ward was pushed open, followed by the "clacking" sound of high heels.

"Charlotte, Charlotte, have you seen the news yet?" Shelly's voice had arrived before she did.

When she hurried into the ward and saw Ricky there, Shelly froze for a moment and then reacted, "You're here too."

She had seen Ricky a few times, but just seeing him today felt a little odd.

The room was dimly lit, and the curtains were still drawn.

Although it was a personal guard, there was no need for him to be in the room at all times. This was a hospital after all.

"I'm going out to get lunch for Miss Meyer." Ricky gave Shelly a slight nod, and then strode out of the room.

"Don't buy soup, I brought chicken soup. Buy me something too! Anything!" Shelly shouted at Ricky's anxiously departing back.
