Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 748: Aren’t You Afraid

She remembers that when she fell asleep, it wasn’t yet lunchtime.

And this morning, she only had a little porridge.

Plus, she had just spent a lot of energy, and now Selena Kensington was already unbearably hungry.

Fortunately, Sterling Norwood would come to check on Selena’s situation every now and then, so he noticed her waking up within minutes.

When Selena saw Sterling walking in, she noticed something unusual on his face.

The redness in his eyes hadn’t completely faded, combined with the lingering pressure and hostility in his gaze, his eyes looked particularly strange and eerie.

Selena was startled.

And Sterling had already come over.

He walked over, casually bringing a glass of water.

"Drink a little. The kitchen has already prepared food, if you’re hungry, I’ll have them heat it up for you now."

Sterling immediately pointed out the difficulties that Selena was facing.

Selena nodded, then wanted to lift her hand to take the cup of water from Sterling, but realized she hadn’t regained her strength yet.

"..."

Selena blinked at Sterling.

Sterling instantly understood Selena’s meaning, his eyes darkened slightly "No strength?"

Selena nodded.

So Sterling half-kneeled beside the bed, gently helping Selena sit up so she could lean against the headboard.

After doing all this, he carefully fed Selena the water from the cup.

After drinking the half cup of water, Selena finally felt a little better in her throat.

But she still couldn’t muster any strength.

She looked at Sterling, pursed her lips, and said somewhat aggrievedly "No strength..."

Sterling paused for a moment.

Then he put the cup on the bedside table.

"Should I feed you some food?"

He lowered his gaze, a gentle expression flickering in his eyes.

Selena felt a little embarrassed seeing that look in his eyes, knowing that she brought this trouble upon herself.

But she was really hungry, so she nodded "Okay."

In the ensuing time, Sterling had the kitchen staff heat up the already prepared meals and brought them over.

There was a small table on the bed, so Sterling directly set it up and started preparing to feed Selena.

Selena had been feeling hungry for a while, but seeing the food she usually ate, for some reason, she felt a vague sense of aversion.

And this feeling reached its peak when Sterling handed her a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Ugh... cough cough cough..."

Selena abruptly turned her head, dry heaving to the side.

Because she hadn’t eaten anything at noon, she couldn’t throw up anything.

Seeing Selena react so strongly to the soup, almost to the point of wanting to vomit, Sterling’s expression darkened again.

After dry heaving for a while and seeing Sterling move the bowl of soup away, Selena stopped.

She turned her head, somewhat bothered "I think... I’ve developed a resistance to these medicinal soups."

Sterling responded with an unclear expression.

"Hmm."

With this second reaction, Selena’s body had developed a resistance to these medicinal soups...

Sterling found it difficult to imagine how Selena would get through if this continued to happen.

"Perhaps..."

Sterling attempted to speak.

Although Selena had no strength, she could still muster the energy to glare "No, don’t even think about it! You mustn’t touch them!"

Just by looking at Sterling’s expression, Selena understood immediately.

Sterling was considering getting rid of the babies again.

Since Selena became pregnant, this thought had surfaced several times.

However, each time, Selena stopped him.

Seeing Sterling’s expression darken again, with a hint of displeasure, Selena quickly spoke "I’ve managed to hold on for several months, especially now that the belly is bigger, how could I bear to see them gone just like that?"

After saying that, Selena softened her tone "Just five more months, and they’ll be born. Let’s wait a bit longer, I can still hold on."

Selena had already endured so much, and Sterling pursed his lips, refraining from bringing up the previous topic.

"Can you eat anything else?"

Sterling asked.

Selena glanced at the other food; although she felt somewhat averse, it was better than the medicinal soup from earlier.

Moreover, her stomach was constantly protesting, so Selena nodded "Yeah, I can."

Only then did Sterling’s expression slightly improve.

Under Sterling’s feeding, Selena’s stomach was gradually filled.

Once she confirmed that she really couldn’t eat anymore, she slightly shook her head "I’m really full."

Seeing this, Sterling didn’t force her and had someone remove the table and dishes.

After those things were cleared away, Sterling let Selena lie back down again.

"Continue to sleep; you’re too tired today."

Sterling sat by the bed, gently tidying Selena’s hair by her ears.

Selena blinked, "After I fell asleep again, did Lark Mayfield come?"

After Selena was dragged into the nightmare for the second time, she felt a force helping her break through those nightmares.

With that force’s assistance, the nightmares’ erosion of her sanity slowed down considerably.

Only then could Selena seize the opportunity to break through those nightmares.

But everything in the nightmares, so real and terrifying...

Recalling the nightmares she had, Selena’s eyes grew deep.

Sterling didn’t intend to hide it from her "Yes, and Grandma Jennings came too."

"Oh? Have they left?"

Selena didn’t expect Grandma Jennings to come as well.

"Yes, seeing that you hadn’t woken up, they left after preparing a medicinal soup for you. She said she’d come again tomorrow."

Sterling patiently relayed Grandma Jennings’ words to Selena.

Hearing Sterling say that, Selena relaxed.

"I see, got it."

Seeing Selena had no further questions, Sterling spoke softly "Sleep."

But Selena didn’t speak, just stared at him.

Her eyes were clear and bright, as if all darkness and filth couldn’t approach her gaze.

Sterling’s eyes paused, the redness gradually faded, returning to a deep blue.

Seeing this, Selena slowly spoke "Promise me, don’t blame yourself, and don’t do anything bad because of it."

As she said this, her gaze was tightly fixed on Sterling, afraid that he wouldn’t agree to her.

Upon hearing this, an unusual light flashed in Sterling’s eyes.

He didn’t answer Selena’s question directly but instead asked, "Seeing the real me, aren’t you afraid?"

Hearing this from Sterling, Selena instantly recalled that in the recent dream where Sterling emerged from the flames holding a still-beating heart dripping with fresh blood, his face gleamed with murderous intent and coldness that made her hair stand on end instinctively...
