Chapter 692
Celeste was taken aback, then realized Liam was referring to the internet.
But she didn’t voice her thoughts, “I couldn’t care less about what others say.”
If she genuinely didn’t care, she wouldn’t have fallen into depression last year because of those online comments, unable to pull herself together
Liam looked down at the floor, murmuring. “If you can’t sleep, talk to me. Don’t take sleeping pills, they’re bad for you”
Celeste’s heart started racing she pretended to be casual, “You think sleeping pills can be bought just like that? Even if I wanted, I couldn’t get them”
“Good if you can’t‘ Liam’s voice was a bit raspy, “I’m scared”
Whenever he thought of the depression test report from the court, he couldn’t sleep
This constantly reminded Liam of how incompetent he was as a husband.
Celeste proposing divorce wasn’t a whim or out of anger, as he thought. She was fed up with disappointments, preferring to have nothing more than to have anything to do
with him.
He could make accurate judgments at work but always got it wrong regarding her Only after the divorce did he vaguely understand that emotions weren’t a program, they didn’t have a fixed answer.
Celeste lowered her head, gently tugging at the blanket, whispering “You’ve always been a scaredy cat. I’ve never seen a guy scared of getting a shot.”
Liam…
Of course, Liam wasn’t afraid of needles.
He just didn’t like going to the hospital.
Once, he was dragged to the hospital by Celeste due to severe stomach pain.
While getting an IV, the new nurse kept looking at his face and failed to get the needle in several times.
Liam hated being stared at, and this person was not only doing that but was also unprofessional, which pissed him off
Celeste thought he was afraid of needles, so she came over, turned his face away, and whispered, “Good boy, you won’t be scared if you don’t look
Liam wasn’t afraid of needles initially, but it was the first time someone took care of him, and it felt novel.
He was about to speak when the nurse failed again, and Liam was so in pain he wanted to swear
Celeste held his face, whispering. “Bear with it, and it will pass. Be good when we get home, I’ll wear the pajamas you gave me for you to see
Liam was stunned and then felt his face turn red.
The nurse finally got it right
But Liam didn’t feel the pain because he was thinking about Celeste in the pajamas and immediately blushed and muttered, “Shameless.
Celeste said, “You’re my husband, not someone else”
She didn’t put on the pajamas for him to see even a month after he was discharged from the hospital
Only then did Liam realize Celeste was just sweet talking him.
So, she still thought he was afraid of getting shots.
Liam thought momentarily didn’t deny it, and softly said, “Shots hurt.”
Celeste giggled sounding delighted, “You really are a coward.”
Liam said softly, “Put the phone down, turn on speaker mode, and close your eyes.”
“Why?”
Liam explained, “Nicolas gave me a lullaby Apparently, it’s very effective; it can put you to sleep in three seconds. Let me play it for you”
“Just three seconds? Even sleeping pills don’t work that fast”
Celeste was skeptical but still put her phone aside and turned on speaker mode
