His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 553

Niamh Rivers arrived with Elmer White at her side.

Jonathan Thomas vaguely remembered that it was the two of them who had brought him to the hospital, but he felt no desire to thank Elmer. His gaze quickly shifted from Elmer to Niamh’s face.

She had changed her clothes. The white gown from the previous night was ruined, covered in the blood he’d coughed up. It was unwearable.

Their eyes met.

Jonathan’s gaze was different now. Niamh wasn't sure if it was because he was weak from surgery or for some other reason, but the look in his eyes had changed, especially when he looked at her. Before, his eyes were like ice, sharp and cold.

Now, they had melted into water, deep and full of affection. It was the kind of look that could easily make a person fall.

Niamh offered a faint smile.

Thank God she had already escaped.

She handed the hospital paperwork to him. “You should get some rest. I’ll be going now.”

As Jonathan reached for the papers, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. Her fingers went limp, and the documents scattered across the bed. His hand was cold, just as it had always been, and the recent surgery had only made it colder.

Niamh didn’t pull away immediately, but she certainly didn’t grip his hand in return. Their hands just hung there in the air between them.

Elmer and Ramona Quinn watched in silence. Their faces remained impassive, but a storm was brewing in their eyes.

“Can you… stay with me a little longer?” Jonathan’s voice was soft, laced with a rare, pleading vulnerability.

Niamh tilted her head up slightly. “You already have company.”
