{CHAPTER 28}

Eun Kyung didn’t feel that well half way up the stairs and Kris scooped her up. She glanced around before looked at Kris with a shocked look. “Ya, what if your grandmother sees this?” She whispered-exclaimed. “Don’t worry about that. Worry about yourself.” Kris said gently.

Eun Kyung helped Kris open the room door and she was let down gently onto the bed. He helped her prop the pillow up against the headboard so that she could sit up comfortably. “Were you hurting again?” Kris asked. Eun Kyung looked down at her still-flat tummy and nodded.
