Chapter 13 Soft Touch

Shelley lowered her head and saw a large bag on the ground next to the wall.
There were clothes in it.
The one at the top was a cotton jacket with a fluffy collar that looked very warm.
The style of the clothes looked familiar.
"What's this?" Shelley bent over to pick it up.
Adrian raised his head and said softly. "When my colleague went to get the documents, I just asked him to bring your clothes here. You should wear more."
Shelley was surprised to hear that.
"Thank you." She didn't expect Adrian would notice such details.
Adrian was touched by the pure smile on Shelley's face. "I should say thanks to you."
Shelley gave a bright smile. "Then we are even. After I change my clothes, we will go to the VIP ward."
As she said that, she took out the clothes from the bag.
The jacket was very large, and the person who packed it obviously couldn't handle such a large coat because he didn't fold it neatly.
When Shelley pulled the coat out, two white things came out with the coat.
Adrian standing beside her had sharp eyes and quick hands. He caught the things in a hurry.
The soft touch made him slightly puzzled. He lowered his head to have a look.
Shelley next to him screamed and stretched out her hand to snatch the things he caught.
Then Shelley's face and neck both blushed.
"Thank you. I'll go and change my clothes first." Shelley didn't expect that Adrian's colleague was so considerate that he even brought her underwear for her.
The thought of a strange man rummaging through her closet for her clothes made Shelley have a strange feeling.
She suppressed this feeling, didn't look at Adrian's expression, took the clothes, and rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
When the bathroom door was closed, Adrian frowned. He recalled the soft touch just now and Shelley's shy face. He suddenly realized what he had just caught.
Adrian was speechless.
He didn't expect that Michael even brought Shelley's underwear here.
His eyes narrowed.
[You won't get your bonus for this season.]
Michael was confused by Adrian's message.
[Mr. Layton, did I make any mistake?]
[No, you just did a great job!]
Michael was speechless.
So, his mistake was he did the job too well.
But he just thought...
Adrian must be gritting his teeth when he sent this message.
After Shelley changed her clothes and came out, she had already calmed down, though her face was still a little red.
She reached out to pick up the bag, but Adrian did it before her.
"Let's go."
Adrian went out first.
His calm attitude relieved Shelley.
Shelley snatched her underwear so quickly just now. She thought Adrian probably didn't have time to see what it was, right?
The VIP ward area was on the top floor, and the two of them took the elevator up.
The entire ward was clean and quiet.
The ward was a suite with a bathroom and living room, and there were two beds.
The blue and white decoration and bedsheet were a bit warm but not much. There was still the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
What Shelley liked the most was the bouquet of carnations on the small table in the living room.
The faint fragrance faded the smell of disinfectant, and also relieved Shelley's embarrassment.
Shelley put the bag on the sofa and went to make the bed. "Would you like to lie down and rest for a while?"
"No, thanks."
Adrian answered. He went to the sofa and prepared to get his mobile phone to deal with work.
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Layton, I'll take you to have a checkup." Shelley looked up at the door. The head nurse in her early thirties, wearing a light blue nurse uniform, was standing there.
There was a standard smile on the nurse's face.
Shelley raised her eyebrows, turned her head, and looked at Adrian.
Her expression looked a little complicated.
Adrian looked at Shelley. "Are you going with me?"
"I don't have to go, do I? There is a nurse with you." Shelley made the bed and got ready to place the things.
Then she saw Adrian frown after she finished her words.
She pursed her lips and was about to speak when Adrian stood up and walked to her.
He bent over and lowered his voice with his breath burning her skin.
"Mrs. Layton, we are married, and you are my wife. My family taught me never to stay with another woman alone in front of or behind my wife."
Shelley was speechless.
Of course, she was also taught like this.
She looked at Adrian's frown, thought about it, and understood what he meant. "OK, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Adrian regarded himself as her husband and did whatever a husband should do.
He restrained himself as a married man.
He was a good husband.
If Shelley was still so careless, she would hurt Adrian's sincerity.
She looked up at Adrian and smiled. "Then let's go for the checkup first."
"Good."
Seeing the interaction between the two, the head nurse did not say anything. She just regarded herself as an emotionless machine to lead them to the place.
Adrian had the checkup, and the two of them were waiting for the result when Shelley received Alfred's call.
She said excuse me to Adrian and went to answer the phone.
"Shelley, do you have time now?"
Alfred seemed to be in a very noisy place, as if someone was arguing. Shelley frowned. "Alfred, where are you? Are you in trouble?"
"I'm in a little trouble. If you are free now, can you come to the police station?"
The privilege of the VIP made Adrian get the result just after a few minutes. He was about to ask the doctor about the situation when he saw Shelley stride to him anxiously.
"Adrian, I have something to do and must leave. Can you stay here alone?" Shelley looked anxious and wanted to leave immediately. "Or do you need a nurse? I'll be right back after I finish my work."
Adrian looked at her. "Do you need my help?"
"No, I can handle it myself." After saying that, Shelley seemed to feel that her tone was not very pleasant, so she explained. "One of my seniors was framed by a fraudster and arrested. He needs someone to put up bail for him. He has no friends here, so I must go."
For some reason, Adrian thought of the phone call this morning. "Is it the man who you regarded as your brother?"
"Yes." Shelley didn't hide it. However, the air seemed to become a little colder.
But she didn't have time to explain it. "Sorry, I must go. Call me if you need me."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Adrian reached out to grab her arm. Shelley turned around in confusion. "Is there anything else?"
She was really worried. The fraudster must be very cunning.
Alfred had always kept a low profile. Although few people know his identity, he would lose his reputation when the news was exposed.
Adrian looked at her. "Don't worry. Take a taxi there. Call me if you need my help."
Shelley was surprised to hear this. She was stunned for a moment. It took several seconds for her to come back to her senses. She suddenly felt warm in her heart.
She nodded. "OK."
