Chapter 292 Her Feigned Faint was Exposed
Liam grimaced, "Ethan, can I skip the run? Running right after eating messes with my stomach!"
Ethan's smile was cold as ice. "If you don't run, I'll think it's not 'cause you're too full, but because..."
Ethan left it hanging, creating some serious suspense. Liam, already feeling guilty, quickly said, "I'll run, okay?"
Liam asked sheepishly, "How many laps?"
Ethan almost barked, "Fifty laps!"
Liam's jaw dropped. "What about you?"
Ethan replied, "I'm not the one who's too full. I'll watch you run. Go on, missing even one lap is not an option!"
Liam was speechless. Why did he have to follow Ethan's orders? Seeing the commanding aura emanating from Ethan, Liam reluctantly complied.
Liam could only grit his teeth and start running around the river.
Ethan watched him run two laps and found it boring. "Keep going, if you miss one lap, you'll face the consequences!"
Why did Liam feel like Ethan was taking revenge on him?
Liam kept his head down and continued running, not noticing that Ethan had left.
Hospital
After getting back to the hospital, Ashley stashed all the evidence under the bed. She opened her phone and saw Ivy had posted on Facebook again: [Press conference at 10 AM tomorrow, I will reveal more secrets!]
Judging by Ivy's tone, she had something big to spill.
Ashley sneered. Since Ivy wanted attention, she'd play along!
After tidying up, Ashley figured Ethan would be back soon, so she lay on the bed pretending to sleep.
Moments later, Ethan returned to the ward.
Looking at the woman on the bed, Ethan's gaze was deep, and he exuded a powerful aura. Even though Ashley had her eyes closed, she felt a chill down her spine.
Ashley shivered but didn't dare open her eyes to see what was happening.
After a long while, Ethan turned and went to the bathroom.
Ashley opened her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. Was she overthinking? Why did it feel like Ethan was very angry?
About half an hour later
Ethan came out of the bathroom wearing a robe and surprisingly locked the door.
Ashley heard the door lock and was puzzled. Was he going to sleep this early? Usually, at this time, he would still be working!
Unexpectedly, Ethan lay down beside Ashley and started caressing her cheek with his fingertips.
Ashley's fingers under the blanket trembled slightly. As Ethan's fingers moved, her skin felt like it was being electrified, tingling all over.
His hand moved from her outline to her eyebrows, lips, and continued downward.
Ashley's lips trembled slightly.
She was trying hard to control herself. Did Ethan notice anything unusual? Little did she know, Ethan, who had been watching her, saw every twitch of her mouth.
Ethan gave a wicked smile and slipped his hand inside Ashley's clothes.
Ashley cursed inwardly, 'What are you doing? Take your hand away, it tickles, I can't hold it in much longer!'
Ethan smirked and became even more audacious with his hand.
He even leaned in to kiss her.
Under Ethan's deliberate teasing, Ashley couldn't help but make a sound.
Ethan's gaze darkened, and he bit her neck as if punishing her.
Ashley screamed in her mind!
What was he doing? Why did it feel like he was very angry!
Ethan's voice was low as he spoke by her ear, his warm breath making her ear itch.
"Still pretending? Want more tickling?" With that, he squeezed her chest hard!
Ashley understood. Ethan had discovered she was pretending to be unconscious, which was why he was doing this to her. She gave up the pretense, opened her eyes, and said, "Ethan, what are you doing!"
Ethan squinted his eyes, "I should be asking you that! Ashley, do you know how worried and anxious I've been these past two days while you were pretending to be unconscious!"
Ethan angrily said, "If Ryan hadn't sent me a message, how long were you planning to keep this from me?!"
Ashley blushed with shame.
She knew he had been on edge these past two days and felt sorry for him, but...
Ashley looked aggrieved, hugged his neck, and said coquettishly, "Honey, I had my reasons for doing this. Please don't be mad!"
Ethan, however, was not appeased. He sat up and said coldly, "You better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Actually, Ethan had a hunch that her pretending to be unconscious might be related to her car accident. Could it be that, as he suspected, someone tried to kill her?
"Honey, it wasn't an accident, it was deliberate!" Ashley said.
Ethan looked at her, the anger in his eyes replaced by concern, "Did you discover something?"
Ashley nodded solemnly and looked deeply at Ethan, "It is related to you."
Ethan was surprised, "Me?"
