Chapter 80\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was still half asleep and had forgotten about the mark on her face. Her expression was indifferent as she said, \u201cIt\u2019s nothing. My mom hit me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 frown deepened. \u201cDid you put medicine on it? Why did she hit you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany laughed bitterly. \u201cBecause I told her I wanted to cut ties with her. I guess I made her angry. I\u2019m sorry, but I don\u2019t plan to invite her to our wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany thought Silas valued her status as Gary\u2019s stepdaughter more than anything, and she\u2019d almost forgotten that their marriage was an agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she lost that identity, she wondered if Silas would still want to marry her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think my status too lowly, I\u2019ll understand. I won\u2019t mind if you want to find another wife. Our wedding hasn\u2019t happened yet, and we haven\u2019t even taken wedding photos-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho said I cared about such a thing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany often drove him crazy. But seeing the red mark on her cheek, he felt his heart ache.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you put medicine on it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany froze, then shook her head. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait here.\u201d Silas turned and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany didn\u2019t understand what he meant, but she obediently leaned against the doorframe and waited. She didn\u2019t crawl back under the covers, even though her eyelids were fighting to stay open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before long, he returned carrying a medical kit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas looked at Bethany before him. Her light brown hair fell over her shoulders, still messy at the crown from just waking up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The swelling on her cheek somehow made her look even more fragile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His breathing grew heavier. He bent down and scooped her up with one arm. The woman who\u2019d been drowsy a moment ago was now fully awake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSilas, what are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He carried her into the bedroom and carefully set her down on the soft bed. \u201cNothing. Just putting some medicine on you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was surprised. Had Silas just been concerned about her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She watched as he bent his head, searching intently through the kit. When he looked up, he held a tube of white ointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas took a cotton swab and carefully applied the medicine. He leaned in close, his warm breath falling on her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany felt slightly uncomfortable and tried to pull back, but Silas firmly held her waist in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t move. Did you forget we\u2019re taking wedding photos this weekend? If you don\u2019t use the ointment, the swelling won\u2019t go\u00a0<\/p>\n
down by then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany understood now. It was all for the wedding photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stopped trying to pull away and sat still. Their warm breaths mingled intimately in the space between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His warm breath felt like an electric current, making her tingle as heat rushed to her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man applying her medicine frowned again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is your face getting redder?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas set down the medicine. \u201cMaybe we should go to the hospital. I\u2019ll carry you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait\u2026\u201d Bethany quickly interrupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If they went to the hospital like this, people would definitely laugh at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pointed at the window. \u201cMy cheek is fine. But can you open the window a little? The room\u2019s probably just a little stuffy. I\u2019ll be fine once I get some fresh air.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re sure?\u201d Silas still looked worried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Bethany insisted, so Silas had no choice but to compromise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did your mom hit you?\u201d He crouched on the floor and packed up the medical kit, his tone casual.\u00a0<\/p>\n
