Chapter 22 Recovery.

After returning from the hospital, although Lu Xia's stomach didn't hurt anymore, she still felt tired. This tiredness was the kind of exhaustion that she couldn't recover from no matter how much she rested, and it always made her feel listless.

Grace sent her back to the room and put a pillow behind her: "You take a rest first, dinner is ready, I'll bring it up to you."

Lu Xia nodded: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Although Lu Xia said so, her complexion was not good, even a little too pale, even her lips, which were always pink, had no blood color.

But even so, the little female did not show any fragility.

This inexplicably makes people soft-hearted.

Grace has seen many females of all kinds, but he has never seen one as sensible as Lu Xia, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

He hopes that Lu Xia can show his vulnerable side, it doesn't matter if he is a little spoiled, he can bear being beaten and scolded, and he doesn't have to bear any pain alone.

Noticing Grace's silence, Lu Xia looked up with a puzzled look in her eyes: "What's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"

Grace hid the pain in her eyes and said softly: "Let's do what Dr. Eugene said tonight, okay? I will be very gentle and will not hurt you and the child." She

didn't expect that he would discuss this with her under such circumstances. She thought he would remain silent until she took the initiative to ask.

But when she thought about what they were discussing, Lu Xia felt embarrassed and ashamed. She nodded calmly: "Okay."

After getting a response, Grace did not stay for long. When she turned around and left, she did not forget to remind her: "Have a good rest."

After Grace left, the huge room became quiet. Lu Xia sat quietly for a while and buried her face in the pillow. This was really deadly.

*

At night, after dinner, Grace accompanied Lu Xia to walk in the yard to digest the food before returning to the bedroom. She also prepared the bath water for Lu Xia. When she was about to go in to help, she was stopped by Lu Xia: "Grace, I can wash myself. You just wait for me here. You don't have to do everything for me."

Grace pursed his lips imperceptibly. He thought that when he accompanied Lu Xia for a walk today, the two of them had reached a tacit understanding. It seemed that he thought too much: "Okay, then I'll wait for you here. Call me if you have anything."

Lu Xia nodded, said nothing, and went directly into the bathroom.

Even if the two of them were going to do something more intimate later, she still couldn't accept Grace helping her take a bath.

Grace stood outside the bathroom door, listening to the sound of water coming from inside, and her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Because he knew very well that although Lu Xia accepted Dr. Eugene's proposal, it was for the fetus in her belly, not because she accepted him.

Realizing this, he felt a little unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that some things could not be rushed, and now he had the opportunity to be with Lu Xia at such a close distance, which was already great for him.

After all, there are many people like him.

Just as he was thinking about this, the bathroom door opened, and the little female who had just finished taking a shower, her white cheeks were dyed pink by the steam, and she seemed to be even smaller.

"Let me help you wipe it." Grace said, taking the towel in her hand, and carefully helped Lu Xia wipe her hair.

The room fell into silence for a while, and neither of them spoke, and the quiet atmosphere became more ambiguous and awkward.

When Grace put the towel down, Lu Xia knew that the time had come, and she pretended to be natural and said: "Do it now?"

Grace replied: "Sure."

After the conversation, neither of them moved, as if they were waiting for the other to take the initiative, and the atmosphere became more awkward.

In the end, Lu Xia felt that it was better to cut the Gordian knot quickly, so he pulled Grace's clothes, pulled her down, and kissed her lips.

The man's lips seemed firm, but they were actually very soft.

Grace was startled by Lu Xia's sudden action, but she still kept her mind and supported herself on both sides of Lu Xia when she fell.

From passively enduring to actively fighting back, in a very short moment, the man took the initiative.

This made Lu Xia relax and let go.

...

After everything was over, Lu Xia couldn't help thinking before going to bed that Grace should not have had a good time. At least compared to the first time, this time, the man restrained himself a lot and took care of her feelings throughout the whole process. From time to time, he would ask her how she felt.

At this time, she really didn't want to answer, because no matter what she answered, it felt like she was praising the other party. Lu Xia couldn't help but bite the other party's shoulder when she was tired of asking.

In return, the man laughed softly.

Grace looked at Lu Xia who was fast asleep beside her. Her pale face was still rosy and looked much healthier than during the day.

Tentatively holding the little female in her arms, Grace sighed in her heart before closing her eyes and letting herself fall asleep.

In the morning, when Lu Xia woke up, Grace was no longer by her side. She sat up and moved around a bit, only to feel that the tiredness she had felt for a while seemed to have ended with what happened last night.

At this moment, even if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't hide the lightness of her body.

Who would have thought that the previous tiredness was all because of unsatisfied sexual desire?

It would be embarrassing to say it out loud!

After a simple wash, she came down from upstairs. The old housekeeper saw her and greeted her with a smile: "You look much better than yesterday."

"Yes, you have recovered well. Where's Grace?" Lu Xia couldn't help asking because she didn't notice her in the restaurant.

"He said he had something to do in the military this morning, so he left first. But before he left, he prepared breakfast for you. I'll bring it up to you." She

didn't expect that the man had something to do, but he still prepared breakfast for her. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

When breakfast was served, Lu Xia ate while talking to the old housekeeper: "We can make an appointment to meet the endorsement object today. Ask them when they are available. If it is confirmed, we can start filming."

It won't be long before the beauty cream is launched.

"I'll contact them right away. Are you going to the research institute later?"

"Yes, I will go to the hair growth liquid. The progress is good. The results should be out in the next two days."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper hesitated to speak. Seeing this

, Lu Xia couldn't help but said: "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?" "You just recovered. Do you want to rest more?" The old housekeeper realized at this moment that Duke Lu Xia was actually a workaholic.

He had health problems yesterday, and he had to go back to work today. Isn't it a bit crazy!

Lu Xia knew that the old housekeeper meant well, and said with a smile: "I'm just going to take a look. I'll be staying at home too. Don't worry, I'm much better now."
