My Bossy CEO Husband

At this point, Precious no longer cared about what she had promised Ryan.She put her arms around Wendy's neck and acted like a spoiled child.

"But Mommy, what if I miss you so much?" Wendy smiled gently at the girl.

"I'll video chat with you whenever I'm free, okay?"

Precious pouted, not all too pleased with this arrangement, but she eventually nodded in agreement.

"Then, Mommy, when will you be coming back?"

"I'll be gone for half a month at most." Wendy would have to return within that time frame anyway.

In two weeks, Raymond would be released from the ICU.

"Okay!" Precious chirped as she held up her fist and stretched out her pinky finger.

"It's a promise!" Wendy hooked their little fingers together.

"All right, I promise," she said as their thumbs pressed together.

"Well now!" Wendy bent over and kissed the little girl on the forehead.

"You have to sleep now, honey." Precious obediently settled down on her pillow.

"Tell me a story, Mommy."

"Sure."

Wendy reached over to turn off the light, then began spinning her tale.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was fond of wearing a red, hooded cape.Everyone called her Red-Riding Hood.One day..."

Soon enough, her soft voice lulled Precious into a deep slumber.

Meanwhile, on the sofa across the room, Ryan lay quietly and watched mother and daughter with a tender expression on his face.

‘This feels so good.

If Ray can just leave the ICU safe and healthy, our small family will finally be able to have a reunion..Five minutes later, Leo arrived.He was supposed to be on night duty at this hour, but Luke had forced him to come.

And when he learned that he had been called to tend to Wendy's burns, he couldn't help feeling infuriated.

‘Shit! I majored in gynecology and obstetrics!I'm an obstetrician, not some general practitioner! Despite his grumblings, however, he had made sure to come prepared.

Leo diligently checked Wendy's mouth.He handed the oral patch to her afterwards.

"Patch it on the wound.It can help with the pain and inflammation."

"Thank you!" Wendy took the opportunity to ask about Raymond's condition.

"Ray is doing great.Don't worry too much."

Leo had assigned some medical staff to watch over the boy.She breathed a relieved sigh after hearing that.

It didn't take long before Leo was called back to his office.

There were other patients that needed his attention, after all.
