Ch. 293: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 293

Chapter 293What’s Going On?

Could it be that their relationship had improved?

Bianca thought about breaking them up, but had she inadvertently paved the way for their happiness?

Her fingers clenched tightly as frustration boiled in her chest, threatening to overflow into her eyes.

What Bianca couldn’t have, how could she let Norah take?

She had known Kevin first. She had sacrificed so much for him—nearly half her life. Norah had no right to swoop in and reap the benefits.

It wasn’t fair.

Kevin’s sharp eyes snapped her back to reality. “Bianca, did you hear what I said?”

Bianca blinked, quickly softening her expression and masking the bitterness in her eyes. She forced a calm demeanor and replied, “I understand. I won’t let negative press follow me anymore. I’ve already taken on several new projects. When the time comes, I’ll focus on my career and reshape my image.”

She had stumbled before, but this time, she was determined to recover.

If Bianca wanted to make a comeback, she had to keep taking on roles. As long as she stayed focused on her career, her hard work would eventually pay off. In today’s internet-driven world, it was easy for a persona to gain traction and spread like wildfire.

Kevin shifted the conversation back to business. “Good.”

Bianca interpreted his terse response as proof that he still had expectations for her. After all, this entertainment company had been founded for her.

She understood there was a sense of obligation behind it.

She had once saved Kevin’s life, and this was his way of repaying her.

But Bianca didn’t want to squander his efforts.

Instead, she wanted Kevin to witness her rise to the top. She wanted to become a success story he could take pride in.

“As long as you’re okay,” she said, slipping on her sunglasses. “I have an announcement to attend later, so I’ll head out first.”

Kevin gave a brief nod. “Hmm.”

His indifferent response didn’t bother her. Her gaze flickered briefly toward the ward. No matter what, Norah’s happiness wouldn’t last long.

Bianca would give Kevin and Norah a bit more time. Sooner or later, they’d be separated again.

She was sure of it.

With reluctant eyes, Bianca looked at Kevin one last time before leaving.

Kevin, however, stared after her retreating figure. Deep in thought, his expression grew colder by the second.

“Captain Edwards, that woman looks so familiar,” Levi remarked, only now realizing why she seemed recognizable.

Kevin glanced at Levi and explained, “During a mission, she once saved my life.”

Levi nodded in understanding. “Ah, that’s why she looks so familiar.”

Still, something about the situation felt off to him, though he couldn’t pinpoint what.

When Norah woke up, night had fallen.

The first thing she saw was Kevin gazing at her softly.

Her eyes flicked to the IV needle taped to her hand as she instinctively sat up.

Kevin helped steady her. “Take it slow. Do you want to rest a little longer?”

Norah shook her head. “Why are you out of bed? You’re so injured—you shouldn’t be moving around. Did I take your spot?”

She tried to get up, but Kevin gently pressed her back down.

“No, I’ve rested enough. I wanted to stretch my legs. You’ve been sleeping for a long time—are you feeling tired?”

Norah frowned. “I’ve slept all day?”

Kevin nodded. “Yes. You must be hungry now.”

“What about you? Did you eat yet?” Norah asked.

Kevin smiled. “Of course. I had something earlier. It’s dinner time now.”

Norah sat up slowly, rubbing her temples. “Sleeping so much makes me even more tired.”

Kevin chuckled. “If you can’t sleep tonight, we can watch TV together.”

Norah nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips.

Kevin had prepared a meal for the two of them—a nutritious spread tailored for pregnant women.

He opened the containers and handed Norah a bowl of soup.

She took a sip, finding it rich and flavorful. “This is delicious,” she said, visibly pleased.

As her appetite grew, she picked up a piece of pork liver, but the strong flavor made her grimace. “This is too fishy. You eat it,” she said, tossing it into Kevin’s bowl.

Kevin looked at her for a moment, amused by her casualness. “Alright. If you don’t like it, I’ll eat it.”

He took the piece and ate it without hesitation.

Norah didn’t think much of it—it felt natural.

After they finished eating, Norah noticed that Kevin had cleaned up everything, including the food she didn’t finish.

She blinked in surprise. “Why are you eating my leftovers?”

Kevin shrugged. “What’s the problem? If you don’t want something, I’ll eat it. It’s not a big deal.”

Norah couldn’t help but feel a bit touched. For someone like Kevin—who never settled for less—to eat her leftovers was unexpected.

Things seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

Watching Kevin eat, Norah felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. She teased, “You don’t even like that—are you sure you can eat it?”

Kevin met her gaze with a smirk. “If it’s from you, I’ll eat it.”

Norah blushed under his intense stare, momentarily at a loss for words.

Kevin handed her a glass of juice. “Here, drink this.”

But as Norah reached for it—

“Bang!”

The glass slipped from her hand, spilling juice all over the table and soaking her skirt.

Kevin stared, equally surprised by her sudden clumsiness.

Norah looked at the mess, stunned. “Why did I drop it?”

Kevin quickly stood and helped clean her up. “It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.”

She frowned, glancing at her hands. Something didn’t feel right.

Noticing her troubled expression, Kevin reassured her gently, “Don’t overthink it. Accidents happen.”

Still, Norah couldn’t shake the unease. “Do you think something’s wrong with me?”

Kevin cupped her face, his voice soothing. “Not at all. Breaking a glass once in a while is normal. Don’t stress.”

Norah tried to believe him. Maybe it really was nothing.

Kevin ruffled her hair affectionately. “Do you want anything else to eat?”

“I’d like something sweet,” she said softly. “Strawberry cake.”

“Perfect.” Kevin opened a cabinet and pulled out a strawberry cake, placing it in front of her.
