Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 913

Noreen froze slightly.

She remembered Dr. Wynne.

Years ago, Seth had introduced her to the renowned gynecologist.

She also recalled how he had promised to accompany her to her appointment, only to completely ghost her the next day because of Bianca Lowell.

How had she felt back then?

Disappointed to the point of utter numbness.

Seth brought a second spoonful of the sweet soup to her lips, but this time, Noreen refused to eat it.

"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?" Seth asked, genuine concern lacing his words.

"Yeah. It's awful."

It was absolutely terrible!

Seth took a taste himself. He thought it was perfectly fine, tasting exactly like what Dr. Wynne had described.

Assuming Noreen was just being picky because she felt sick, he asked patiently, "Is there anything else you'd rather have? I can make it for you."

"I don't want anything." Noreen was entirely lethargic, her brows furrowed in discomfort from her aching muscles. "Just go home. I want to be alone."

"I won't bother you."

More importantly, she was still running a fever and was completely alone. There was no way he was going to abandon her now.

"But I don't want to look at you."

Seth remained silent for a long moment before replying, "Then close your eyes, and you won't have to."

Every cell in Noreen's body felt like it was at war. She simply didn't have the energy to argue with him, so she rolled over, turning her back to him to sleep.

Perhaps the medication was kicking in.

Or perhaps Seth was deliberately keeping his presence to an absolute minimum.

Before long, Noreen drifted off again.

She slept for quite a while this time. When she finally woke up, she realized she was tucked into her own bed.

Only a dim nightlight illuminated the room, and the house was wrapped in silence.

A faint, subtle noise echoed from outside her door—likely coming from the kitchen.

The agonizing cramps in her stomach had faded significantly, but her head still felt like a block of lead, her thoughts processing slower than usual.

It took her a long moment to realize that the person outside had to be Seth.

He still hasn't left?
