Chapter 97
Edward tossed the newspapers aside and hurriedly entered the bathroom.
and had thought about getting rid
When Melanie slipped and fell, she instinctively protected her belly. She didn’t know where the children came from and had the them before. However, when something dangerous happened, she still couldn’t bear to give up on them.
She thought that it might have something to do with the babies sending signals from the womb. Usually, during the first trimester, the children wou send their mother some kind of signal to prevent themselves from getting hurt.
That was the only explanation Melanie could come up with. Otherwise, there was no way a person like her would be so selfless.
Just as she was about to hoist herself up, she realized she had twisted her ankle. Her belly was fine, but her ankle was hurt instead.
She thought she was being quiet and that Edward definitely didn’t hear the commotion from the living room. So, she didn’t overthink it and tried to g herself up by leaning against the wall for support.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door frantically, showing how anxious they were.
“What’s wrong? Are you alright?” Edward’s voice sounded from the other side of the door. He sounded nervous.
“I’m fine. I just slipped.”
When he heard that, he became even more worried. He feared that something might happen to the two babies if she fell hard during the pregnancy.
He immediately turned the doorknob. Melanie hadn’t locked the door, she only closed it. After all, other than Edward, no one else was at home. Based on his personality, she didn’t think he would barge into the bathroom while she was showering.
However, in just a couple of seconds, he opened the door.
Melanie looked miserable at that moment. Her body was covered in soap, and her right andle was swollen. It took her a long time to lift herself up from the ground earlier. She couldn’t even stand straight, and she looked like she was in great pain.
That was exactly what Edward saw when he entered the bathroom. The fog from the hot water shrouded her bare body. When he saw her gorgeous body, he immediately recalled his feelings from the other night
However, that moment clearly wasn’t the time to think about such thoughts. He frowned and grabbed a towel before wrapping her in it. Then, he bent down to pick her up.

However, Edward was being too anxious. She felt incredibly uncomfortable when he carried her out of the bathroom. Her body wasn’t fully cleaned yet, and she would feel sticky all over if she lay on the bed. Anyone in her shoes would feel the same way.
“Don’t worry. The babies are fine, so don’t carry She could barely stand on her own, so she couldn’t do it herself.

my body.”
Edward trusted Melanie’s judgment. If she said she was fine, the children likely were too. If anything serious had happened, as the one pregnant, she’d have sensed it by now. He concluded it was just her ankle that was hurt.
Left with no choice, he removed the towel from her body and grabbed the shower head. Then, while looking away, t Melanie felt incredibly awkward. Her face felt war, but she didn’t know if it was from the warm water or embarrassment. After her body was clean, she stopped showering and let Edward wrap her body in the towel again. Then, bedroom
