Chapter 1401 Warm Hands
Shane grabbed her right hand. As expected, it was as cold as her left hand. He brought her right hand to his lips and gently blew hot air on it. Then, he stuffed her right hand into the other pocket of his suit.
That way, Natalie would look as if she was wrapping her arms around Shane’s waist, unable to move freely. She lifted her head to look at him. “Darling, I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“Why not?” Shane met her gaze. Natalie lowered her head, her eyes darting from her hands to the paramedics passing by. Her face turned slightly red. “It’ll leave a bad impression. We’re in a public place, after all. Everyone’s watching us.”
“Let them watch, then. We’re not breaking the law, anyway. Besides, it’s their eyes. We can’t possibly take them out. We can ignore them,” Shane said nonchalantly, casting the passersby a glance.
Natalie’s lips twitched. “But I can’t move if you do this.”
He held both her hands tightly and stuffed them into his pocket. Since she could not stand properly, all she could do was stand facing him or stand sideways.
However, her waist would feel sore from standing sideways for too long. Of course, Shane knew why Natalie could not move. Still, he had no intentions of releasing her. “Just bear with it. I’ll let you go once your hands are warm.”
Natalie was stumped. She knew he would not release her, no matter what she said. He was determined to make her hands warm. He does fit the bill of a domineering CEO of a company.
Natalie shook her head helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Fine. I’ll let him hold my hands since that’s what he wants. He’s worried about me, anyway. I don’t want to make him upset. Just like what he said, I’ll bear with it.
With that thought in mind, Natalie gave up struggling and leaned into his embrace obediently, letting him hold her hands.
After an unknown period, she felt her hands getting warmer. Only then did Shane take her hands out of his pocket and release them. “Okay. They’re warm now.”
“Thank you, Darling.” A gorgeous smile appeared on Natalie’s face as she stared at her hands.
When Shane saw the smile on his face, his gaze darkened, and he hummed hoarsely. “It’s not a big deal. Let’s go in and check on Anders. We only have five minutes every day. Let’s not waste it.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded.
As long as she could get close to Anders, she would not waste a single minute, let alone five. She was determined to visit him every day until he could be discharged from the hospital.
Holding each other’s hands, the couple went to the corner and changed into sterile suits before making their way into the nursery.
Perhaps Anders sensed his parents had come to visit him, for as soon as Shane and Natalie arrived before the incubator, Anders suddenly opened his eyes. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Natalie was in slight disbelief when she saw Anders’ eyes open, and she froze.
Shane felt the same way. Although his reaction was not as exaggerated as Natalie’s, the excitement and delight in his eyes could not be concealed.
Returning to her senses, Natalie gripped Shane’s hand and stammered excitedly, “Darling, Anders… A- Anders… is…”
“I know. Anders is awake. He’s opened his eyes to see us,” Shane replied with a nod, fixing his gaze on his son.
A lump formed in Natalie’s throat as she repeated, “Yes, Anders is awake.”
She loosened her grip on Shane’s hand and placed both her hands on the incubator. She then lowered her head and gazed at the blinking eyes that were staring back at them Seeing Anders quietly staring at them melted her heart. “Hey, Sweetie. I’m Mommy.”
Shane, too, leaned over and looked at Anders. “And I’m Daddy.”
With tears in her eyes, Natalie said, “Sweetie, did you wake up because you sensed our arrival? Did you want to see us?”
The baby did not hear what Natalie was saying. Even if he did, he would not have understood. Nevertheless, he could see everything they were doing.
