The next moment, Arthur put his hand behind her neck, pulled her slightly, and lightly pressed his forehead against hers.
“!”
Raina stopped breathing.
With their foreheads touching, strands of hair mixed between the two faces.
Looking into her eyes with gray eyes, Arthur spoke softly.
“…Stay still. Hold your breath.”
“…….”
Raina couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“…If you keep doing this, it’ll stop.”
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Her heart pounded like crazy.
“…….”
“…….”
Pushed out of the bedroom, K and Lionel stood silently outside the door without saying a word. Both were having the same thoughts, but no one spoke.
“…….”
“…….”
My wife. Don’t touch. Permission is only granted for conversation.
After a long silence, Lionel broke the silence first.
“…What you mentioned before, K… I’m starting to think we might really need to consider it.”
“…….”
He added quietly.
“What you said about the ‘worst-case scenario.'”
K remained silent, but it was clear they shared the same thoughts.
“…….”
Lionel hesitated briefly, touched his forehead, then looked down at his own toes before speaking again.
“…Just to confirm, I’m asking this for assurance.”
“…….”
K and Lionel’s eyes met.
“…Is it true that being ‘certified by the government’ is the worst?”
It implied that they should consider a more serious situation.
“…….”
K did not respond.
Instead, he sighed briefly and said,
“…Lionel. Have someone do a task for me.”
“Yes.”
“I heard there’s a spare bed in Sir Arthur’s study.”
“…?”
Lionel questioned with a puzzled face at the sudden remark beyond expectations.
“A bed?”
K nodded.
“Yes. Take it out of the study and put it in their new room.”
“…? In the new room… a spare bed?”
K, with an expressionless face, tidied his face and said,
“…I think it might be necessary. It could be my premature assumption, but…”
He paused briefly.
“…Considering everything, you must have been through a lot. Please put it there for now. Not now, but after tomorrow, depending on the situation.”
And K quietly picked up the document he had next to him.
It was Taylor’s medical record, which Arthur had ordered for inspection.
“…I’ll take care of this order first.”
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on Taylor’s door.
Taylor, who was leaning against the door, hastily suppressed her emotions and stood up.
“…Yes!”
As she opened the door,
One of the knights who had been guarding Raina earlier was there.
Among the dirty blondes and silver-haired ones, it was the latter who wore a monocle.
“…….”
K extended his hand with a courteous gesture for a handshake.
“Excuse me, Mr. Taylor Laurenson. I’m sorry for coming suddenly.”
While Taylor’s gaze was heading for his hand, K briefly scanned Taylor’s appearance.
Taylor extended her hand somewhat hesitantly.
“…Taylor will do. And you are…”
“I’m K Ford. Just call me K. I apologize for earlier.”
K’s attitude was polite.
“…….”
As he extended his hand for a handshake, Taylor also treated K politely and cautiously.
“No, K. You are…?”
“It’s fine. Mr. Lionel mentioned that you were looking after Lady Raina.”
“….No, K. I was the one who was impolite.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
While shaking hands, K slightly raised the medical record he was holding.
It was to inform her about the business.
“…….”
Taylor remembered that Arthur had ordered him to ‘inspect’ the medical records.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
Taylor looked at the medical record he was holding.
“…….”
Taylor opened the door wider and stepped back.
“Would you like to come in?”
“If it’s okay. Thank you.”
K smiled lightly.
The room where Taylor stayed in the Julius Mansion had two bedrooms, a living room, a medicinal and preparation room, a study that doubled as an office, a bathroom, and a dining room.
Taylor Laurenson and Alvin Laurenson.
The place where two doctors stayed, it was a special independent space different from the room of an ordinary employee.
Taylor guided K to the living room table.
K sat down.
“I’ll bring tea.”
“No, it’s okay.”
K smiled and placed his medical record on the table.
“I need to look at this, and it might be distracting.”
“…….”
Understanding, Taylor also took a seat.
Taylor sat quietly with her fingers clasped, looking at K.
“Did you examine it?”
There was no need to be hesitant. It was a real medical record. There was nothing like a suspicious message towards Raina. It was natural to guess that there was a high possibility of inspection, and Taylor had hoped that the record about her grandmother could reassure her.
K smiled with a smiling face, lowered his gaze, and took out a pen.
“Yes. I glanced through it. It’s a diligent and trustworthy medical record.”
And he placed the hand holding the pen on the paper.
“I’ve seen it well.”
【Impressive.】
Taylor held her breath.
K began to write on the paper with a pen filled with alcohol, different from what he had said verbally.
“Don’t be nervous.”
【You value Lady Raina Astarine.】
“Although there wasn’t anything suspicious,”
【But you’re not her lover.】
“I came to check a few things before the formal inspection.”
【You want to help her. Is that correct?】
The ink began to fade. K was using a pen containing alcohol.
Taylor clenched her fist. Caught. How? It was from an invisible angle…
“…….”
But what is this person doing to me right now?
K moved his hand over Taylor’s medical record and spoke.
“Where is the patient?”
Taylor’s attention sharpened, and she tensed her body. Is he investigating Raina? Sudden and fearful suspicions rushed in. Is grandmother safe?
“…….”
Taylor silently lifted her gaze to glare at K.
“Can I hear the reason you’re asking first?”
However, K, without looking at him, calmly tapped the pen on the paper.
“Patient, where are they?”
Taylor’s mind snapped into focus, and she tensed her body. Is he investigating Raina? Fearful suspicions rushed in.
“…….”
Taylor silently lifted her gaze to glare at K.
“Can I hear the reason you’re asking first?”
However, K, without looking at him, calmly tapped the pen on the paper.
“Patient, where are they?”
Taylor’s mind snapped into focus, and she tensed her body. Is he investigating Raina? Fearful suspicions rushed in.
As K lowered his gaze to the paper he pointed at, K’s handwriting with alcohol caught his eye.
【I value Sir Arthur.】
【I believe we may have stories to share for each other’s precious people.】
Taylor’s eyes widened.
“That patient. We’re trying to protect them.”
【There may be someone listening, so don’t say it out loud.】
Taylor looked up and stared at K.
K spoke while calmly writing, looking at him at the same time.
“Separate from the viscount.”
【I want to negotiate with you.】
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
