Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Leon, Don’t Do Anything Reckless
Leon Keane noticed Ivana Monroe’s expression: was she scared of him?
Ha...
He wouldn’t do it now. Even if he longed to, he’d wait until her foot injury healed, and she could get out of bed, then he’d find a good place and pin her against the wall.
"Let’s give it a try when your foot heals."
Leon Keane’s voice was hoarse.
"Try my ass."
Ivana Monroe buried her head into the blanket, as if she could hide in her "shell" and all would be well.
"What did you say?"
Leon Keane reached out and gently pulled down the blanket covering Ivana Monroe’s face, revealing a beautiful face flushed with red cheeks.
Leon Keane’s breath caught, his dark eyes fixated on her slightly parted red lips, recalling scenes from the TV, his Adam’s apple moved, wanting to kiss Ivana Monroe.
Ivana Monroe looked at the enlarged handsome face mere inches away, her expression stunned.
Why... why did he move his face so close?
Ivana Monroe noticed his intense gaze and felt there must be some wild thoughts brewing inside him. Her heart raced, feeling a bit frightened, she shook her head in denial: "I didn’t say anything."
Leon Keane: "You’re lying."
Ivana Monroe: "..."
Their breaths intertwined, creating an ambiguous warmth.
Ivana Monroe blushed as she spoke: "It’s a hospital, Leon Keane, don’t do anything rash."
Leon Keane chuckled softly, deliberately saying: "It’s night now; the day doctors have gone home. Only the night-duty doctors are outside. Moreover, outside your ward, I’ve arranged for bodyguards. Even if we do anything here, no one would disturb us."
Ivana Monroe panicked, biting her lip, knowing clearly that Leon Keane was a domineering man who seldom changed his mind once he decided on something.
Leon Keane frowned, disliking her lip-biting action, questioning if she really disliked his kisses that much?
Instantly, Leon Keane’s handsome face turned cold again.
Suddenly.
Ivana Monroe released her lip, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "I just had surgery recently. You should be considerate of me as a patient. If... if you insist on kissing me, just lightly touch, don’t deep kiss. Would that be okay?"
Leon Keane was surprised.
Looking at Ivana Monroe’s shy red face, he didn’t hesitate: "Okay."
He leaned down and lightly brushed against her soft lips with his thin lips, then Leon Keane withdrew.
Even if Ivana Monroe hadn’t spoken, he wouldn’t have deep-kissed her.
Afraid of losing control and having other thoughts.
Leon Keane turned off the TV: "It’s late, you should sleep. I’m going to take a shower."
Ivana Monroe stared dazedly at Leon Keane; was he really that agreeable?
"Yeah."
Ivana Monroe agreed swiftly. Even when he turned to look at her, she immediately closed her eyes, as if silently telling Leon Keane she was tired and needed rest.
Leon Keane was a bit speechless; how much did she distrust him?
Leon Keane secretly thought in his heart, once Ivana Monroe’s foot healed, he’d definitely "punish" her properly, making her stay in bed for days, otherwise he’d feel too wronged.
In the middle of the night.
Ivana Monroe woke up in pain, drenched in cold sweat.
"Leon... Leon Keane..."
She called out in agony.
Leon Keane, who’s a light sleeper, vaguely heard someone calling him in his sleep and immediately woke up.
The night light in the ward was on.
Leon Keane slipped on his slippers and approached Ivana Monroe, seeing her face pale, with her slender eyebrows knitted tightly, looking very pained. He asked nervously: "Honey, where are you hurting? Is it the surgical wound?"
If it’s the wound, she should use painkillers.
Leon Keane turned around, preparing to find painkillers.
"No."
Ivana Monroe’s weak voice stopped him.
"Then what is it?"
"My period just started."
Menstrual pain!
Leon Keane paused, taking a moment to understand that "period" referred to a woman’s menstruation.
"Your period hurts?"
Ivana Monroe nodded.
Leon Keane panicked; what should he do about period pain?
He comforted Ivana Monroe: "Don’t worry, I’ll call to find out if there’s any medicine for period pain."
He took out his phone.
Leon Keane dialed Derrick Stern’s number; he vaguely remembered hearing Derrick Stern talk about Secretary Sullivan’s menstrual cramps and suggesting him to arrange menstrual leave for her.
Leon Keane had thought Derrick Stern, having an office romance, was making a fuss and didn’t pay attention to it.
Seeing Ivana Monroe so miserable, he suddenly understood Derrick Stern.
Ivana Monroe felt a warm flow and realized she needed to change.
Her cheeks flushed: "Don’t call... I don’t need medicine, I need sanitary pads."
Taking too much pain medicine isn’t good for the body.
Unless necessary, Ivana would take medicine, otherwise, she would endure the pain, as it typically subsides in two days, and besides, taking too much pain medicine would lead to drug resistance.
Sanitary pads?
Leon Keane was taken aback, but the call had already gone through.
Derrick Stern was awakened by the phone ringing, feeling exhausted. Seeing it was a call from the boss, he perked up: "President Kane, you called for something?"
Leon Keane instinctively wanted to say "bring me some sanitary pads," but held back; how could he let another man buy his wife’s sanitary pads?
Leon Keane said: "What’s the solution for dealing with menstrual pain? I’ll give you ten minutes to write a plan and send it to me."
Derrick Stern: "..."
Leon Keane hung up the phone: "Honey, I’ll go buy them for you now."
Ivana Monroe blushed deeply; Leon Keane actually came up with a solution for dealing with menstrual pain.
Leon Keane left the ward. As soon as he reached outside the elevator, his phone rang with a message from Derrick Stern.
"Solution for Menstrual Pain."
1: Brown sugar water, preferably ginger brown sugar. Reason: Ginger warms the uterus, it’s the best choice for women with menstrual pain.
2: Heating pad, sticking it on the woman’s lower abdomen. Reason: The warmth drives away cold faster.
3: Pinching the Hegu point on the hand for about ten minutes. Reason: This acupoint is said to relieve various pains.
Leon Keane memorized everything.
There’s a 24-hour convenience store next to the hospital.
The night shift cashier was a girl, her heart racing like a fawn when she saw such a handsome man enter: "Sir, what would you like to buy? I can help you get it."
Leon Keane usually disliked women fawning over him, but given today’s situation, he was not annoyed by the girl’s reaction.
"Sanitary pads, the best ones, and ginger brown sugar, heating pads, all of the highest quality."
"Ah?"
"Can’t understand?"
"Got it, understood."
The girl was just surprised. How could such a handsome man come to buy women’s products?
The girl followed Leon Keane’s requirements, and brought the best sanitary pads, ginger brown sugar, and heating pads from the convenience store.
Leon Keane paid and swiftly left the store with the items.
The girl, nursing a broken heart: "All the outstanding and handsome men have girlfriends. Why are all the good men someone else’s, boohoo..."
Leon Keane brought the purchased items to the ward.
Ivana Monroe reached out to take the sanitary pads from the plastic bag, wanting to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to change her blood-stained pants, but she frustratingly realized she couldn’t move.
Ivana Monroe looked at Leon Keane for help: "Can you help me?"
